Plot

In the enchanting comedy, "Mr. Belvedere Goes to College," Clifton Webb breathes life into the character of Mr. Lynn Belvedere, the self-proclaimed World's Greatest Genius. When he stumbles upon a prestigious honorary award that remains just out of reach due to his lack of college education, Belvedere throws himself into the academic fray as a freshman. His arrival at a renowned university doesn't go unnoticed. His unconventional entry into college life draws the ire of a particularly vexing upper-classman, Alan Young, who sees Belvedere as the perfect target for his relentless hazing pranks. However, the unflappable Belvedere quickly ascends the social ladder, becoming an unexpected Big Man on Campus, a status he had hoped to avoid to maintain his low profile. Belvedere's anonymity is further threatened when Shirley Temple, a spirited journalism major, sets her sights on him as the subject of her next big story for a major magazine. Despite the hurdles, Belvedere undertakes an audacious academic journey, aiming to cram four years of study into a mere six months. As he navigates college life, Belvedere finds himself playing Cupid for Temple and her estranged boyfriend Tom Drake, adding a touch of romance to his already bustling college experience. The memorable tale of "Mr. Belvedere Goes to College" captivates audiences so much that it sparks a sequel, "Mr. Belvedere Rings the Bell," further exploring the amusing adventures of this extraordinary man.
