Yes, the jazz fans will certainly like parts of this movie. That's a very young Gary Burton playing vibes behind Stan Getz blowing sax and Astrud Gilberto singing the English version of "The Girl From Ipanema". At the time this movie was made, Burton had only been recording for a couple of years or so. (I don't recognize the bassist or drummer.) Another treat in this movie is the Jimmy Smith trio. There are copies of the Getz/Gilberto number on Youtube, but the quality is horrible. Now if they would just release this thing on DVD! They may have already, but it isn't readily available. If anyone knows anything about that, please post it!

No kidding. Except for Stan Getz and jazz organist Jimmy Smith, this is one awful excuse for a movie. It's sexist, not sexy, it's base and insulting and ... well ... one of the great, if negative, cultural documents of the turbulent 1960s. It manages to encapsulate in a short series of badly staged, and nearly-meaningless scenes, almost everything that the '60s were really about, including the obnoxious political leaders then in power, the rampant dissatisfaction of young women with their exclusive, but all-female educational institutions, the commercialization of pop music, and the proclivity of certain Hollywood types to place beautiful young women in static combinations on a set, where they can actively leer at them with their film cameras rolling.It stinks. It makes a mockery of the soulfulness of the music of the era. It annoys most horribly when it could have entertained us at least a little bit.And worst yet, the basic story concept, of the internal conflict felt by a bright young woman who can write winning popular music, in an era still as stuffy as Mamie Eisenhower's tea parties ... was a most intriguing concept. And they got a young Nancy Sinatra to join the cast, too !! Why oh why did they not make the movie the real story of the heroine's dilemma ? Instead, it looks like a very long commercial for Decca Records and for the idea of skiing at Sun Valley.Yes, I watched this on Turner Classic Movies while waiting for the plumbers to come and fix a badly broken set of pipes. A big ol' tip of the cowboy hat to TCM for having the "chutzpah" to show this dog of a musical movie at all. Gotta love them for it. I wanna do lunch with their film archivists, truly .... But what a stinker of a film.My eyes still hurt.

This film was exactly what I expected with some fun mid-60's music. Mary Ann Mobley, who basically only made this type of film, is lovely as always as the songwriter college girl who in a fun way is somewhat of a pre-feminist. Chris Noel as Sue Ann, the beautiful blonde, who also specialized in 60's beach films is delightful, and Nancy Sinatra (although she doesn't sing) appears in one of her first films and looks so young. The men are nothing to speak of.Interesting musical groups including The Animals and The Dave Clarke Five make this better than some from this genre. Best performance = Chris Noel. Enjoyable, silly jokes, watusi dancing, and just fun stuff.

Cliche-laden- generation gap flick -stars the yummy Chad Everett as a record producer and Mary Ann Mobley as a shocking college girl who, under a pseudonym, writes "racy" songs with titles like "Stamp Out Men" and Kinsey-Report inspired absurdities.However there are fun music performances by The Animals and Astrid "The Boy from Ipanema" Gilberto and others.
