Where The Boys Are
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
A week of "Spring Break" movies starts with this 1960 beach classic, which has college kids descending upon Fort Lauderdale, FL to soak up some rays and seek some fun, adventure, hedonism, even love. This film codified the Spring Break experience - and since I grew up in Lauderdale, I get a particular joy out of watching the vintage scenery and hot spots (the Elbo Room still stands, but, except for the beach, that's about it). The stars of this sandy romp include George Hamilton (the role in which he developed his tan) and Dolores Hart (the young starlet who, after a few films such as this opposite Hamilton, Elvis Presley and others, got herself to a nunnery, and became a Benedictine nun).
