"I remember seeing this film for the first time on television in 1968 or 1969 and have been waiting for a DVD release for years.It was worth the wait!No,this film from Warner Brothers isn't great art but it's a lot of fun.A number of Warner Bros. contract players including Robert Conrad,Troy Donahue,Ty Hardin and Connie Stevens appear in this film as well as a young Stephanie Powers and Jerry Van Dyke.The 1963 film made during the peak of the beach movie cycle follows the misadventures of a group of college students who descend on Palms Springs for a weekend during spring break.A lot of the characters and situations are standard cliches,but this doesn't stop this film from being fun.This DVD was originally part of a package of films from Warner Bros. showcasing Troy Donahue.Other films in the set include Parrish and A Summer Place."
