Best Avoided Except For Some Musical Numbers
3 June 2014
"Get Yourself a College Girl" does not have much to recommend it.

You might be interested in the fact that it is Mary Ann Mobley's first film.

But the film falls into that genre of films that have the words "beach blanket" or "go go" in them. The plot is silly and contrived, serving only to allow its young stars to wear a bikini, dance, or act boy/girl crazy.

The dancing--with emphasis on the frenetic Watusi--is standard fare and somewhat entertaining.

The only real value in this film comes from some of the musical performances. I am a fan of Stan Getz, so I have to point out his performance of "The Girl from Ipanema" with Astrud Gilberto.

In summation, if you have to watch this film, at least you will have some good music to break up the silliness.
