Plot: 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 Yve...( read more read more... )tte 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

    Very bold, considering the time it wasd made. Paula Prentiss was my Amazon hero (for I know what it is to be a tall woman) and I loved her romance with Hutton.

    A great movie about 4 college girls that sneak off to the beaches of Florida during Spring Break. Some of the themes here were a bit heavy, and not quite as light hearted as its beach movie counterparts that feature Frankie & Annette, but the moral was a good one. Very good performances though, including Connie Francis in her breakout role. Love the title song!

    The movie that sent me to Daytona Beach my freshman year in college. A well rounded teen movie with humor, music, tragedy, etc. All the kinds of things that really occur in spring breaks.

    Such a cute film. I found myself doing a double take at a surprisingly untanned, but very romantic George Hamilton. The Paula Prentiss/ Jim Hutton story line was very cute as well. Dealt with surprisingly frank subject matter for 1960, showing how far the later Beach films backtracked. A must see.

    I'm always a little surprised when I see it, at the issues they deal with in a movie intended for a teenage crowd in the 1960's.
