The Affairs of Dobie Gillis is a 1953 American comedy musical film directed by Don Weis. The film is based on the short stories by Max Shulman collected as The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis (also the title of the later TV series). Bobby Van played Gillis in this musical version, co-starring with Debbie Reynolds and Bob Fosse.
The movie was filmed in black and white, MGM's first non-color musical film in years.[3] It was Fosse's technical screen debut, as it was his second film but the first to be released.[4]
