"Where the boys are...someone waits for me...".......2005-11-29
It's Spring Break, and four man-hungry coeds leave the Midwest snow behind and drive to Ft. Lauderdale for fun in the sun. Brainy Merritt (Dolores Hart) falls hard for Ivy Leaguer, Ryder (George Hamilton), while Tuggle and TV (Paula Prentiss and Jim Hutton) pair up for laughs. Singer Angie has eyes for musician Basil (Connie Francis, Frank Gorshin) and sweet Melanie (Yvette Mimieux) just wants to date a real Yalie.
Has it really 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 all its glory...when girls went to college to find a husband, college boys were still called "boys," and 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 actually considered racy at the time. A lot of it concerns what good girls would do and 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 and shirt-waist dresses, join Connie in singing the theme song (you know you remember the words), and relive those wonderful days. This is not your granddaughter's Spring Break movie, it's yours. Enjoy.
