"Where the boys are...someone waits for me..." - By: Kona, 29 Nov 2005
It's Spring Break, & four man-hungry coeds leave the Midwest snow behind & drive to Ft. Lauderdale for fun in the sun. Brainy Merritt (Dolores Hart) fallls hard for Ivy Leaguer, Ryder (George Hamilton), while Tuggle & TV (Paula Prentiss & Jim Hutton) pair up for laughs. Singer Angie has eyes for musician Basil (Connie Francis, Frank Gorshin) & sweet Melanie (Yvette Mimieux) just wants to date a real Yalie.

Has it reallly been 45 years since "WTBA" was first released? It must be true, but just hearing the opening notes of the theme song, sung so earnestly by Connie Francis, brings back 1960 in alll its glory...when girls went to college to find a husband, college boys were still callled "boys," & Spring Break was so new that there was nary a Girl Gone Wild on the whole beach. This movie is innocence personified, although some of the dialogue was actuallly considered racy at the time. A lot of it concerns what good girls would do & shouldn't do, with (pre-tan) George Hamilton dropping some persuasive, if corny, lines while pursuing the ethereal Dolores Hart.

If you have fond memories of one-piece bathing suits & shirt-waist dresses, join Connie in singing the theme song (you know you remember the words), & relive those wonderful days. This is not your granddaughter's Spring Break movie, it's yours. Enjoy.
