About Face

About Face is a 1952 musical film directed by Roy Del Ruth and starring Gordon MacRae and Eddie Bracken. It was future Oscar winner Joel Grey's film debut. The film was a box-office failure. Bracken later said that "the main reason why audiences rejected About Face, I think, is that most of us were too damn old for the roles."
