It was a remarkable coincidence I got to watch Where the Boys Are on the birthday of one of its stars-Dolores Hart!
21 October 2020
After previously watching the Elvis Presley movie G.I. Blues, Mom asked me about one of Presley's co-stars from other movies, a Dolores Hart, wanting to know what of his she was in. I mentioned both Loving You and King Creole, the latter I still had. By that time, I also remembered she was in this movie and I resolved to borrow this from the library if I couldn't get Loving You which I wasn't able to. So we've now seen this and it was quite enjoyable as it was funny in places and also a bit shocking concerning one of the ladies' fate (Yvette Mimieux). Ms. Hart romances a young George Hamilton, singer Connie Francis is paired with Frank Gorshin who plays a jazz musician. And Paula Prentiss, like Ms. Francis making her film debut, gets to have some fun with Jim Hutton well matched in height. In summary, Where the Boys Are was no great shakes but is still enjoyable for what it is. P.S. Today (Oct. 20) is the birthday of now-Mother Dolores Hart. She was born in my birthtown of Chicago, Ill. exactly 82 years ago.
