This movie was not made, even in the mid-sixty's, to be taken seriously. It was made to provide, (as was Gidget), a starting point to consider how they would handle the (then) outrageous situations that Gidget got herself into.
Deborah was great in the part, not taking herself or the movie more seriously than just posing the plot as it was written.
This is not a movie a casual person would buy, but it is well worth watching on TV.
Also, one could have a pretty good time watching the Gidget character evolve as multiple actresses played the part.
