Where The Boys Are

Good oldie movie from the 60's

Good.

This movie has been a favorite I think since I was about 10. It's so nice to watch something WITHOUT profanity,blood,guts and make believe comic book crap.

I'm STILL, after all these years feeling bad for the "party girl"that's left crying after getting what everybody else SAW coming. . .sooner. . . or later.NOT a feel-good movie, but it does teach us a lesson!I enjoyed the music. The last act IS sad, though.

Saw this as a kid and remembered the funny parts. As an adult, I recognize the rape and suicide themes.

Four New England co-eds swap the winter chill for the warm sands of Fort Lauderdale in the landmark 1960 spring break favourite, WHERE THE BOYS ARE. Petite brunette pop singer Connie Francis makes her film debut, with a surprising, literate screenplay crafted from the novel by Glendon Swarthout.With her grades falling by the wayside and the winter seriously affecting her morale, Merritt Andrews (Dolores Hart) decides the perfect mid-term escape is a holiday in Fort Lauderdale with her three best gal-pals: Melanie (Yvette Mimieux), Tuggle (Paula Prentiss) and Angie (Connie Francis). The boys are beckoning, the water is warm and the "dialectic jazz" is hot! It's going to be a spring break to remember...What sets this film apart from the sunny antics of the "Gidget"'s and "Beach Party"'s is the way it candidly deals with the subject of girls having sexual relationships outside of marriage. Dolores Hart's Merritt is torn over falling in love with handsome college stud Ryder (George Hamilton--long before he became a walking caricature) or remaining a "good girl". Yvette Mimieux's Melanie, on the other hand, falls into a dangerous mixture of rowdy college boys and alcohol. Comedy relief comes in Tuggle's hilarious pairing with TV (Jim Hutton), a lanky wisecracker who is "queer for hats".Connie Francis sings "Where the Boys Are" and "Turn on the Sunshine". The supporting cast includes Frank Gorshin, Barbara Nichols and Chill Wills. Warner's DVD comes stacked with some recent interviews with Ms Prentiss and Ms Francis, an audio commentary with Prentiss, footage from the movie's premiere, and the trailer.

When I was young, my Mom & I used watch this everytime e caught it on tv (no video recorders at the time). She is gone now & I plan to watch it & certainly will laugh when Frank Gorshan's character falls in the Mermaid tank!!! This movie is HILARIOUS in parts!!! Worth the time to watch!!!!

A true classics.....the original with up and coming stars who made it in theMovies....Singing..Loved it.....a part of my teen memories....try it..

Wonderful age on innocence. I saw this when it first came out and it still feels as good - I fell in love with Connie Stevens then - and a little of that remains.

Great product. Great customer service.

thank you

I thought it was in English and its Spanish. Not our cup of tea.

Thanks very much. Just what I expected and a good price too, David.
