Full Plot Details

June Ryder is a new student at Custer College, which is most renowned for its boys' basketball team, although it also has a high academic standing that can rival that of any of the more famous colleges on the west coast. June's reason for being there: to become a "Mrs.", most specifically Mrs. Ray Blent, he a science major and the star player on the basketball team. Ray is not naturally gifted as a basketball player, but uses science to be able to figure out how to play the perfect game. Ray's interest in basketball is just a byproduct of his primary interest in the sciences and learning in general. June doesn't care who knows what she's doing except Ray. All of June's activities at the college are in this singular goal, which first entails Ray even noticing her and knowing who she is. She discovers that the way to do it is not through the traditional means of the beauty parlor or the kitchen, but rather the classroom. Three people who do know what June is up to are new Ethics professor Leo Sullivan, his wife Myra Sullivan, and longtime General Sciences professor Charles Osman, the professors who don't much like but accept that June is using their classrooms as a matrimonial service. June's ploy does eventually get Ray to notice her as a woman. But a happy ending for Ray, and Ray with June, is in jeopardy when he receives anonymous bribes to throw an upcoming important game against a visiting team from Russia, the Sputniks. Ethical and academically bright Ray, who is a schnook when it comes to street smarts, has to decide what to do, his plan which inadvertently involves Professor Sullivan, who in the process becomes the most despised man on campus.

User Review - 8/10 by Eric SA great college romantic comedy, and very much in the early 60s style. This is an hilarious movie, with great actors, and I really enjoyed it. The ending is predictable as the next romantic comedy, but it doesn't matter, this movie is fun anyway. I highly recommend it.
User Review - 6/10 by Allan CJane Fonda is quite winning in her film debut about a boy-crazy college co-ed, chasing after star athlete Anthony Perkins. The plot thickens when Perkins is propositioned by gamblers to throw a key game against a visiting Russian team. It's all innocuous fun, but what's most funny about the film is how different Fonda's character is from her real-life persona as an independent, liberated woman, instead here portraying a flirtatious, man-crazy college girl studying home economics and determined to land herself a husband. Besides this being Fonda's film debut, "Tall Story" also marks the film debut of Robert Redford in a supporting role. You also have solid supporting performances from Ray Walston, Murray Hamilton, and Gary Lockwood. Overall, "Tall Story" is a breezy and enjoyable comedy, though thoroughly lightweight.
User Review - 6/10 by Scott RSo interesting to see Perkins playing basketball.
User Review - 6/10 by Lee MMost notable as jane Fonda's feature film debut, this is a nice example of the 50s style Hollywood comedy.
