THE MANY LOVES OF DOBIE GILLIS

by Max Shulman ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 13, 1951

Ten campus stories of the ever blooming, romantic Dobie whose girls land him in and out of trouble, scholastically and emotionally. One drives him to plagiarism, the second gets him a band that makes the dance a success, #3 learns logic too well, #4's expensive tastes force him to plot a theft, #5 has parents whose rules land him in an unexpected career, #6 and her inability to understand chemistry bring out the midnight oil, #7 wins a radio quiz through his help but remains nameless, #8's uncle has political ambitions and Dobie does NOT help him, #9 and a journalism assignment break open a civic scandal, #10 has a love for a fast buck and when Dobie falls in with her plans, he takes a akunking. Extravagant, cockeyed -- in plots as well as style -- these have a sort of frenzied fun.
