What happens

Where the Boys Are is a 1960 American CinemaScope romantic comedy film directed by Henry Levin and starring Dolores Hart, George Hamilton, Yvette Mimieux, Jim Hutton, Barbara Nichols, Paula Prentiss, Frank Gorshin, and Connie Francis. The screenplay by George Wells is based on the 1960 novel of the same name by Glendon Swarthout. The plot follows four female college students who spend spring break in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The title song "Where the Boys Are" was sung by Francis, who played one of the foursome. Where the Boys Are was one of the first teen films to explore adolescent sexuality and the changing sexual morals and attitudes among American college youth. Aimed at the teen market, it inspired many American college students to head to Fort Lauderdale for their annual spring break. It won Laurel Awards for Best Comedy of the Year and Best Comedy Actress (Prentiss). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
