Not so Connie Stevens and Stefanie Powers, two of my least favorite 60s starlets.Wish WB would have cast Diane McBain in one of the roles. That aside, I still find it a fun rip-off of Where the Boys Are with the desert substituting for the beach. And humorous subplot with bratty Billy Mumy and harried Carole Cook as his mother.sixtiescinemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11148962658376426099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-9373132556390833292012-08-14T17:30:43.114-04:002012-08-14T17:30:43.114-04:00Troy Donahue played Philip Barton in later episode...Troy Donahue played Philip Barton in later episodes of 'Hawaiian Eye'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-65493890385520953552011-05-20T17:06:54.106-04:002011-05-20T17:06:54.106-04:00Rick, my favorite of this genre is Where the Boys ...Rick, my favorite of this genre is Where the Boys Are, with Palm Springs Weekend a very close second. I thought these movies were so romantic as a young teenager, and I had a very large crush on Robert Conrad. He was a nasty guy in Palm Springs until you fond out why. All of these young stars were such fun and I always wished I looked like Stefanie Powers! I loved her voice, too!<br /><br />I haven't seen it in quite a while, but it was fun to be reminded of the characters and events I enjoyed so much. Good one, Rick!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-30987741719657767432011-05-19T00:01:53.467-04:002011-05-19T00:01:53.467-04:00A splendid and informative post, Rick!

Plus, this stars Connie Stevens, who's good, and I also really liked Stefanie Powers in the Hammer film, FANATIC (aka DIE! DIE! MY DARLING!). Thanks for sharing this film with the Café readers!sarkoffagushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922698736476674377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-86200348274487881352011-05-18T13:19:07.176-04:002011-05-18T13:19:07.176-04:00No channel switching for me, Rick.

Zeme North held her own babysitting uber brat Billy Mumy, too. The scene of the swimming pool reminded me of one quite similar to it in "The Thrill of It All," with Doris Day and James Garner. This post was quite fun, Rick. Great job!toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.com
