Connie Francis was born on December 12, 1937. As results of her singing career in the 1960s, Connie had made a huge impact on teen culture. Her hit song "Where The Boys Are" in 1961 led to her film of the same name and established sleepy Fort Lauderdale FL the spring break capital that it is today.
An early 1960 film, that Man Men female fans relate to, with Connie Francis?
Four female students are 'at a midwestern university during spring vacation. The smart and assertive Merritt Andrews (Dolores Hart) opines in class that premarital sex might be something young women should experience.
Her speech eventually inspires the insecure Melanie Tolman (Yvette Mimieux) to lose her virginity soon after the young women arrive in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Tuggle Carpenter (Paula Prentiss) seeks to be a "baby-making machine", lacking only a man to join her in marriage.'
Yikes! The above is off the plot from wiki
If you've not time for the film, you must at least check out the great song!
It was praised 'for its accurate depiction of courtship and sexuality, illustrating common wisdom'
