Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Chris Wuchte Okay, it's got Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto, plus the Jimmy Smith Trio, so as others have said, if you like jazz, you've got two good scenes. Personally, I love the Dave Clark Five and The Animals, but the songs they perform here are far from their best. They aren't hits, and why they'd choose to waste filler material on a movie with the potential to reach a bigger audience is beyond me.One of my pet peeves is when a film features a song clearly written by an older songwriter with a background in show tunes and the like, and tries to pass it off as a big pop hit. I can't fathom any universe in which the song performed by Mary Ann Mobley, "Get Yourself a College Girl", would be a hit. And yet she's presented to us as this major songwriter with her finger on the pulse of today's youth.The script feels like it was thrown together on the set. Is it about Mary Ann Mobley being booted out of college? No, wait, it's about her fighting and falling in love with her publisher. Nope, never mind, it's about re-electing a senator. Oops, looks like we're out of time. The end. But before we go, here are the Dave Clark Five and The Animals to sing some more songs you've never heard of while we film them in a straight-on close up that looks like a mugshot.

howboutsomemorebeansmrtaggart 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!

shepardjessica-1 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.

shirl31635 An excellent example of 1960's culture and music, "Get Yourself a College Girl" should be interesting to fans of the era's "beach blanket" movies. The plot appears to be secondary to the music, but the picture is a fun way to relax for an hour or so. The musical groups are nice to listen to and Joan 'O Brien, always a lovely and competent actress, is enjoyable as instructor and student advocate.
