April entdeckt Hawaii (1961)

April entdeckt Hawaii: Directed by Paul Wendkos. With James Darren, Michael Callan, Deborah Walley, Carl Reiner. Francine (Gidget) is desperate: her parents want to force her to come with them on vacation to Hawaii – just during the two weeks when her beloved “Moondoggie” is home from College. When he suggests she go for it, she’s even more in panic – doesn’t he care to be with her? So she sets out for Hawaii in the worst mood. On the plane she meets the sociable Abby, who gives her the advice to forget about Jeff – and regrets it shortly after, when Francine follows the advice and steals her boyfriend Eddie, a famous dancer. But then Jeff discovers he’s missing Francine…

“Gidget Goes Hawaiian is a good movie despite what other people say. O.k., so its another of u0026quot;beachu0026quot; movie made in the u0026#39;60u0026#39;s But this one, to me, stands out. It doesnu0026#39;t focus all on the beach, but partly on the u0026quot;gamesu0026quot; people play. This is, in my opinion, the best of the Gidget movies, TV movies, and TV shows.”
