Storyline

The administrators of Wyndham Girl's College believe their institution is the model of traditional values, proper decorum and girl's deportment. There is however a thriving underground movement at the college of rock music. When the administrators learn just prior to the Christmas break that one of their students, Terry Taylor, is a renowned rock music songwriter using the pseudonym Joanie Harper whose songs contain seductively feminist lyrics, they have to decide how to deal with Terry, an otherwise academically bright student, and this possible scandal to the school. Meanwhile, many of the students head to Sun Valley for the Christmas break. Among those at the resort are the college's benefactor, Senator Hubert Morrison, who is conflicted between what he believes is Terry's immoral stance and courting the youth vote through their unofficial leader Terry, and Gary Underwood, Terry's publisher.

Nostalgic Memory from my early teens.

Just wanted to say, that when I was about 14 years old this movie was in UK as The Swinging Set. I was working in the sweet shop of my village cinema and had opportunity to watch it about three times in a week as I could take a seat for the main feature after my shift, in those days we always had an interval after some kind of short movie or a small feature or documentary. So I guess I just loved this movie for what it means to me about those days. I though Chad Everett the bees knees. So to anyone else out there who was young when these folk were young and singing to us Hello and welcome to Nostalgia City. I particularly remember too, the part played by Nancy Sinatra. Not much else as it is so long since I saw it, but I did so enjoy it.
