Editorial Review:

Description:
A group of Midwest girls head down to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for spring break.

Amazon.com:
The movie that put the Break into Spring, Where the Boys Are inspired thousands of college kids to seek sun, surf, and even s-e-x on the beaches of Florida. A bevy of co-eds (including foxy Yvette Mimieux and delightful Paula Prentiss, in her film debut) make for Fort Lauderdale, finding fun but also quite a bit of heavy-breathing drama. It's a little like a dressier, glossed-up version of the Problems with Today's Youth movies that were filling up the drive-ins of the era. The movie's actually pretty frank for 1960, although these days the lightweight stuff with Prentiss and Jim Hutton holds up best. There's also Connie Francis, who plays one of the college girls and croons the great title tune (which belongs on anybody's mix tape of classic teen-beach music). The film was remade, with vague Orwellian overtones, as Where the Boys Are 84, a truly dismal effort. --Robert Horton

I wanted to say that I was thoroughly pleased with this movie. I am 55 years old. I remember watching this movie as a pre-teen is 1965 at a slumber party. So I gathered my friends from the slumber party, we watched the movie again together and still cried over it. It brings back fond memories of when we were young girls. Now we are grandmothers. Thank you so much.

Peace and Blessings,

This is a wonderful film. The star of the movie is Dolores Hart who I am going to be meeting next month! She left the glamour of Hollywood and went into a cloistered monastery! She was a wonderful actress! The movie also was the debut of singer Connie Francis who sings the title song. George Hamilton, Paula Prentiss, Jim Hutton, Frank Gorshin and Yvette Mimieux round out the cast! It's a great movie for all ages! It has a wholesome theme, music and lots of laughs!! Don't miss it!

For nostalgia purposes and having lived in Fort Lauderdale at that time, it's fun to watch the video.

- fascinating; like watching a hemorrhoid operation
I remember the trailers for this movie when I was a kid; Paula Prentiss casually rubbing suntan oil on her skin while saying, "I want to be a walking, talking baby factory." Ooooooh! Shocking! George Hamilton's character (Was his name Ryder?) Played a rich ivy league student who said things like, "Would you like a cocktail?" Frank Gorshin, one of the most underrated comedians of all time, was wasted by being given cheesy dialog as the intellectual leader of a jazz combo.

Even though many stars were in this movie, I especially liked Dolores Hart, she was my favorite. This movie is a classic!
