DON'T LEAVE YOUR DAD HOME ALONE, GIDGE.

Lovable Gidget has a choice.... stay home with dad or go to a fancy school in Paris?

It all has to do with Anne's husband John (Peter Duel) who thinks its best for both of them, independence is the key! No so fast. Gidget starts to have second thoughts, especially when her dad gets an offer from one of his colleagues (played by Roy Stuart) to move in with him and turn the house into a bachelor pad? Fancy stuff.

No body could turn on the tears like Sally Field, and she and her dad were a team. This episode is both funny and poignant, and something we can all relate to --leaving the folks. Stuart was appearing on GOMER PYLE (as Corp. Boyle) at the time, very popular on tv and commercials, also comedian Judy Carne makes an appearance, who in a few years would become famous as the "sock it to me girl" on LAUGH IN.

Gidget formally dressed up as a Parisian student at the beach among the bikinis is an original! Fred Kohner wrote this episode, who created the series, based on stories of his own daughter who would hang with friends at the beach.
