I just watched GYACG on TCM. It's a plot exactly like the beach movies of that period: boy wants girl, girl hates boy, boy chases girl, boy kisses girl, girl falls in love with boy, they live happily ever after until the closing credits roll. Chad Everett and Mary Ann Mobley are the main romancers here. Also in the cast are Chris Noel, Joan O'Brien, Willard Waterman, And Dorothy Neumann. Look fast for uncredited roles by Percy Helton as a chauffeur and Chanin Hale as a waitress.
But forget about the plot and just enjoy the great 60s music from some of the groups and singers of that day. The Jimmy Smith Trio stands out with their instrumental rendition of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." That alone makes the movie worth watching.
If not taken too seriously, GYACG is an enjoyable way to spend 87 minutes.
