Where the Boys Are

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

It is a great movie. Amazon was great, I have been looking for this movie everywhere. This is one of the best movies ever.

Where the Boys Are.......2007-08-14

I viewed this original movie many years ago and found it to be funny, but serious in the values I was raised with. You can't miss the lessons of honesty and morality which seems to be almost non-existent in the movies and culture of today. I would recommend it to anyone.

Going back.......2007-07-13

If you want to go back in time for a few hours, this is a good movie to do it...The 60s was an era of all things good...Where The Boys Are represents a time when you could enjoy good clean fun and how life was a little more simpler and calmer...Be a teenager again and buy this movie...Don't forget the popcorn and milk duds....

Wonderful Movie.......2007-06-11

I've watched this movie so many times on TCM. I was glad to finally get a print. The extras alone (Commentary by Paula Prentiss, Connie Francis and Paula Prentiss in "Where the Boys Were: A Retrospective" and Fort Lauderdale premiere newreel) make the purchase price well worth it.

Paradise Remembered.......2007-05-17

Great, fun, movie with some usual (for the time) acting flaws. What a pleasure to see the "old" Ft. Lauderdale, when it was still a beautiful place to go and not miles of high-rise condos. Connie Francis is a gem and Frank Gorshin is the original "Jazz Nerd". When this movie first came out, I was 12, and had a huge crush on Dolores Hart. It's good to see George Hamilton before he "knew toasted". Towards the end, the budget must have been a little tight. When "Melanie" leaves the cheap motel and walks out on the highway (US 1?), the same 3 or 4 cars keep going by in both directions, most noticeably a 59 (60?) green Plymouth which is the car that finally hits her.
