Where the Boys Are (1960) [Blu-ray]

They made them well in the sixties. It was enjoyable to see how simple things were in the old days compared to today. That being said, the issues this film deals with are still relevant in modrrn times. This is a comedy with dramatic moments. It was probably considered fluff and some kind of movie designed to cash in on the youth movement just beginning at that time, but standards in those days required that it deal with the issues in a responsible way. It succeeded fairly well at showing male and female perspectives developing by experience of life. It also succeeds as a dated comedy from a simpler time. The actors were first rate.

I met Connie Francis at a party in Florida in January '19 and she graciously autographed my copy of the Warner Archives release of Where the Boys Are. Although this starts out as a college comedy with fun performances with Paula Prentiss and Jim Hutton, there is a more serious side with drama relevant to today's #metoo issues. Yvette Mimeux gets caught up with the wrong kind of guy and is effective in this part of the film Dolores Hart, George Hamilton and Connie Francis also star with the latter singing the iconic title song. Blu-ray disc looks and sounds fine.

This is the prototype of all summer beach fun movies to follow and unarguably the best because of its castmates who made it so. Neil Sedaka song is a real winner that really sets the tone & pace of the movie & for its castmates to fall in love in this movie. I love it & George Hamilton drawing a heart with his finger in the sand is a classic, one of a kind, never to be duplicated show of real honest to goodness emotion. I long for those years back again when love was pure love.

Quality of video and audio is wonderful. You feel as if your in the theater watching it back then!!!Pictures are crisp and clean not grainy like some are!!! I’m an avid fan of the movie and I’m thrilled with my copy!!!!!! Enjoy it as if you are right got here with them!!!

Lots of quirky fun with college students on a school break to Ft Lauderdale. It has an all star cast from the 60's, and a very meaningful message to girls and their new boyfriend's. If you remember those wacky, carefree days, this may cause your heart to sob, laugh, and ask yourself- were we ever that crazy?

This is one of those movies you might happen uponon a lazy sunday flipping through TV channels, which is how I first discovered it. I thought it would be some silly teenage romp, but found it to be much more. While is is great to see the fashion, slang and ideas of the era, "Where the Boys Are" shows us four different college girls who experence spring break very differently.As each girl meets and tries to snag her dream-boy, we're taken along on the courtship and fun. The brooding George Hamilton and the kooky Bill Hutton keep the girls om their toes.The sad story line of Yvette Mimeux as the pretty girl who doesn't know her worth and suffers because of it is a surprising and touching addition.All in all, I give it a 4-star rating amd suggest it for slumber parties, sick days and rainy days when this glimpse into the sunny 60s Ft. Lauderdale. A lot of fun!

"Where the Boys Are" is an interesting exploration of the mores of the college set circa 1960. The film has the task of juggling it's intention of entertaining but also making a statement about the mating rituals of young adults and I think it succeeds on both fronts. What I also found interesting was how the film approached the topic of date rape without trivializing it. All seriousness aside, though, this is a fun and engaging film that holds up remarkably well. This is made possible by an able young cast(Dolores Hart, Paula Prentiss, Yvette Mimieux, Connie Francis, George Hamilton, Jim Hutton, Frank Gorshin) who inject the film with vibrancy. Prentiss and Hutton probably come off best with their comic rapport but Hart anchors the film well as it's moral center. Mimieux is moving as the most vulnerable of the group. Francis comes off equally well as a songstress and comedienne. This may sound trivial but the film should interest fans of the "Batman" TV series because it features two villains in it's cast, Gorshin(the Riddler) and Barbara Nichols(Maid Marilyn).

The copy of "W?here the Boys Are" thatI I received did not have Connie Francis' classic song and only a little of the original sound track of music. Also missing was the the original opening scene that involved the males planning to leave a snowy Michigan State University campus to head for Florida. Very disappointed!

Wonderful age on innocence. I saw this when it first came out and it still feels as good - I fell in love with Connie Stevens then - and a little of that remains.

Great product. Great customer service.

thank you

I thought it was in English and its Spanish. Not our cup of tea.

Great old sixties film.
