I own Too Many Girls, it's interesting to see the vast changes in sorority life since then. This is back in the day when women went to college to find husbands rather than to get an education. But, I have to be an old movie snob here (I seriously watch too many for my own good), the movie was made in 1940 and Lucy was 29 (Desi was 23). However, this was before the days of I Love Lucy and Lucy didn't have her crazy redhead reputation yet, she was still a B-list Hollywood glamour girl. I wouldn't exactly say "she looks her age," though, there was a lot of gray area back then in movies about ages, a lot of teenagers looked older, older people looked younger, etc.
