I loved this movie(Re-run TV) when I was a teenager. I tell my kids about it all the time, all the while wishing that I could show it to my kids. HOWEVER, it is not on DVD and THAT is a crying shame.

Teenagers turned loose on Palm Springs for the weekend. Everyone's, especially the police and parents, hands are full. I admire how filmmakers in those times touched upon sensitive social issues (such as premarital sex and being true to yourself) without pounding out the movie's entertainment value. "Palm Spring's Weekend" is a light-hearted, fun movie that I wish I could show my kids.

Please SOMEBODY OUT THERE, put it on DVD!!!
