A yank at Oxford

Tonight we watched the 1938 film 'A Yank at Oxford', it's only the second viewing and the first for the wife. I think this has to be the best print in my collection; made by M.G.M.'s own in house lab: as you would expect it's perfect in sound, contrast, and sharpness.

Robert,
I have not seen this movie. But it looks like there were some big names in it--Lionel Barrymore, Vivien Leigh (before Gone with the Wind), and Maureen O'Sullivan...For a brief moment I was thinking the was the L&H title, "A Chump at Oxford", which came out a year later in 1939...
