Watch Where the Boys Are For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

hyped garbage

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It's Connie Francis, Dolores Hart, Yvette Mimieux, and Paula Prentiss who want to know Where The Boys Are in this MGM film which gave the studio a chance to display some of its young starlets. The answer is course Fort Lauderdale where the girls are on spring break.So are the boys and they consist of George Hamilton, Frank Gorshin, and Jim Hutton. The film has the girls as innocents looking for love and the boys as looking to score. In the end there's a bit of both involved.Of the female quartet I liked Paula Prentiss the best. She and Jim Hutton are both zany and droll as the comic relief in this film. Prentiss reminded me a great deal of her performance in Man's Favorite Sport which I think is one of the funniest films of the Sixties.One of the girls has an unfortunate encounter with a kid who was looking to score. One of them finds real true love. The others just have a good time.Connie Francis got one of those "and introducing" billings and she got a big hit record with the title song back in the day. I'm surprised it was not given an Oscar nomination.Where The Boys Are is a reflection of far more innocent times coming out in that transition period of the Eisenhower Fifties and the New Frontier. Definitely for fans who came of age in that era.

This movie is about sex from beginning to end. It starts out in some sort of college class that only women took in the late 1950s. Sassy Merritt Andrews, IQ 138, a 19-year-old Penmore U. freshmen from Illinois, is threatened by her professor, Dr. Raunch (sic) with expulsion for voicing her opinion that most of her fellow coeds are seriously considering sleeping around before marriage. (Probably Louise Fletcher used Amy Douglass--playing the pinch-face dried up old prune Raunch--as one of her models for Nurse Ratchitt in ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST.) After the four friends get to Fort Lauderdale, Yvette Mimieux is typecast as the ditsy blonde Mel, willing to say "yes" to any Ivy League pretender who bothers to ask. Merritt must comfort Mel when one of her previously yessed-men forgets to ask, and not only rapes her but rips her outfit. Meanwhile, seven-foot something Paula Prentiss as Tug stands above the fray, hooking up with a cheap date from Michigan who goes by T.V. (Jim Hutton). Connie Francis is thrown in as fourth wheel Angie, apparently along for the ride just to sing for her supper, and her attachment to "dialect jazz" (?!) specialist-soon-to-turn-Batman's-Riddler, Frank Gorshin as Basil, is cringe-worthy when the singing stops. (The sequel--WHERE THE GIRLS ARE--was retitled PORKY'S, by the by.)

Delores Hart, Yvettte Mimeux, Paula Prentiss, and Connie Francis are "Where the Boys Are," a 1960 film about spring break in Fort Lauderdale. The boys are Jim Hutton, George Hamilton, and Frank Gorshin.The four young women drive down to Fort Lauderdale for spring break, with an agenda of having fun and meeting men. The exception to this is Merritt (Hart) who has some school work to catch up on. The first reel is the last we hear of school work. With the exception of Angie (Connie Francis), the gals meet guys immediately - Tuggle (Prentiss) meets TV (Hutton), who hitches a ride to Lauderdale with them; Merritt meets the wealthy Ryder (George Hamilton), and frail, pretty Melanie (Mimieux) meets Dill (John Brennan). Angie later meets a jazz musician (Gorshin).The questions are, can true love be found during spring break? And, how far do you have to go to hook a man? Despite Merritt's free-thinking, she and Tuggle intend to stay pure; Angie doesn't have a choice; and Merritt -- Merritt is in for some tough realizations.All in all, a fun movie and a great look at the '50s mores and the power of the Hays code, which was still punishing girls who had sex before marriage.The best things about Where the Boys Are is seeing all these stars as young and fresh, with their movie careers just beginning, and another chance to hear Connie Francis sing the title song and "Turn on the Sunshine." She was terrific. Barbara Nichols plays a sexy performer and does "Have you Met Miss Fandango?" With the exception of Delores Hart, who became a nun, all of these youngsters would go on to successful careers. The young man who played Dill, John Brennan, was blackballed after yelling at a director who was demeaning the singer Odetta; he went on to work behind the scenes and killed himself in 2007 after his wife's death. Already a huge singing star by 1960, Francis, of course, is still singing after a miserable life that includes the death of her brother, rape, and a bipolar disorder.Spring breaks today still have plenty of booze and suntans but also plenty of everything else (including young women disappearing) - enjoy this film about a much more innocent time.

Attractive locales and performers can't compensate for flimsy, uncharismatic story of college girls vacationing in Ft. Lauderdale in search of potential mates; all the gals are chaste except for Yvette Mimieux, whose flirtations are a signal to us that she's in for trouble! Comedy begins OK, but quickly degenerates as the kids start matching up (of all the couples, Connie Francis and Frank Gorshin, playing a nearly-blind jazz musician, are certainly the oddest). The slapstick finale is just stupid, and the cast (including Dolores Hart and Paula Prentiss) strain for laughs. Francis, singing-star making her movie debut, also croons the title tune--the only truly memorable thing in the picture. Remade as a cheesy T&A flick in 1984. *1/2 from ****
