This movie is a fun to watch 60's romantic comedy. Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee play the girl, and the boy deceives each other, falls in love, and finds each other’s deception before they can confess.
The pattern alone is fun to watch over and over; even today, the film industry still tries to recapture the 60's romantic comedies yet falls short.
While we are having fun with the main couple, one cannot help but notice the supporting cast. I will not name them all, but they have been seen in many movies and TV programs of that era. There is Donald O'Connor ("The Bell Telephone Hour" .... Host) as Bobby Darin's friend and boss, Nita Talbot ("Hogan's Heroes" .... Marya) as Sandra Dee's roommate and confidant, and Leo G. Carroll ("Topper" .... Cosmo Topper, 20 episodes, 1954-1955) as the understanding Irish Pawnbroker.
A great Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee film that transcends this film is "Come September" (1961).
