Someone waits for me.

It's funny how some movies can take hold of you for a good part of your life. I was 12 when i saw this movie and i fell in love with it, the music, the cast and the location. Many years later i ended up living in Fort Lauderdale and before they torn the street apart where much of the movie was filmed i'd walk along that same streatch of sand, go into the same bar and the same hotel which later became a gay hotel and unfortunately now torn down also. But all this was such a romantic and simplier time.This is a great motion picture of a more trusting and honest time, a era that will never be seen again except thru the flickering of the motion picture projector hearing Connie Francis singing, seeing beautiful romantic Deloras Hart who is now a nun, and just a wonderful walk down memory lane. And as the song goes,,,,,"Someone waits for me."

These guys had fun

I believe the kids today don't know how to have fun without drugs, and sex. Look at these kids, they talk about it but when it comes down to it, they talk about it some more. Great movie. As a matter of fact Connie Francis really steals the show. I wish this was available on DVD.

Good entertainment

I have to admit I liked this movie. Sure, the premise was great, and it looks great too. But that could be said about a lot of movies, and eventually few of them live up to the expectations. This ain't no masterpiece, but it is very funny, has quite a lot of great location shots, especially the last one on the beach (adding a great title tune with great voice, courtesy of Connie), and great scenes like the one where Connie Francis and girlfriend go to the bar and order hot water because they can't afford anything else and slip tea bagas into them, or when all the cast jumps/falls into the saloon acquarium. I was unsure whether Yvette Mimiuex was raped or not because for 1960 I have rarely seen in movies, but after reading some reviews I was right. And the scene where she zombie-walks into traffic is very good (to look at).
All in all, a good movie.

Connie's tour de force

The best beach flick of the 60's. Since watching this movie all of the starring women - Paula Prentiss, Dolores Hart, Yvette Mimieux - have come on my underrated actors list, all before I realize the connection. I also became a fan of Connie Francis, something I thought would never happen. A year later I admitted to owning over 10 records of her to my older sister. She told me to keep that to myself. It more or less is Connie's movie but Paula almost steals it. (This was her debut too! She already had a presence.) Jim Hutton (Paula's boy in the movie) and her have great chemistry together. Apparently they went on to make other movies together which I shall see. The plot, what there is, four girls go to the beach where they all meet boys, but Yvette's ends in disaster. The movie also has the most sexist quote ever. It's on imdb but I won't quote it here because I don't want to give it away. Connie also did another movie with some of the cast here called Looking for Love. Someone please put it on video.
