    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Don Porter reprised his role as Russell Lawrence in Gidget (1965).
    • Goofs
      Although story is supposed to be set during summer vacation, the film was clearly shot in winter as actors' breath frequently condenses in outdoor sequences and there are no throngs of tourists as you'd expect to see during high-season.
    • Crazy credits
      "Arrivederci Roma" instead of "The End"
    • Connections
      Followed by Gidget (1965)
    • Soundtracks
      Gegetta
      Lyrics and Music by George David Weiss and Al Kasha
      Sung by James Darren

    Actors lousy
    The one thing I enjoyed was the scenery and fashion show sequence.Carol Carol is a lousy actress, and the "gang" are as equally uninteresting.James Darren is a gorgeous italian and I love his songs!
