High Time(1960)

Here's how to guarantee a high time!

High Time is a 1960 comedy about a 51-year-old widowed restaurateur who enrolls in college against his children's wishes. Harvey Howard trades his successful restaurant for dorm life, determined to earn the degree he never got. He throws himself into the full undergraduate experience—pledging a fraternity, chasing romance, and discovering that reinvention at any age is possible. The film balances humor with genuine warmth as Harvey navigates campus culture, generational clashes, and self-discovery alongside students young enough to be his grandchildren. His journey becomes less about proving something to others and more about proving it to himself.
