>Where the Boys Are (1960) is an American coming-of-age comedy
film, written by George
Wells based on the novel by
Glendon
Swarthout, about four Midwestern college
co-eds who spend spring break in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida. The title song "Where the Boys Are" was sung by
Connie Francis,
who also
co-starred in a supporting role. The film was aimed at the teen market,
featuring sun, sand and romance. Released in the wintertime, it inspired
thousands of additional American college students to head to Fort
Lauderdale for
their annual spring break.
Where the Boys Are was one of the first teen films to explore
adolescent sexuality and the changing sexual mores and attitudes among
American
college youth. Given the censorship of the day, the audience is never
sure of
exactly what happened to Yvette Mimieux's
character, but it is insinuated
she was raped.
