A somewhat better sex-on-the-slopes comedy than, say, "Ski Party" (which was nothing more than "Some Like It Hot" for the "Beach Party" crowds). Mary Ann Mobley has been forbidden to associate with men, but she is swamped with possibilities while vacationing with her prep-school girlfriends at a ski-resort. Pal Nancy Sinatra has been secretly married, and uses the time away to get 'acquainted' with her husband (each of her scenes features Nance in a new nightie, answering her door in perpetual states of marital bliss). Of the musical cameos, my favorite was burly Stan Getz playing behind Astrud Gilberto (WOW!). This sequence alone should snare jazz fans. As a movie per se, the plot is irrelevant and the characters one-dimensional, but as your basic one-box-of-popcorn time-filler it has humor and color. One could do worse! ** from ****

Okay, it's got Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto, plus the Jimmy Smith Trio, so as others have said, if you like jazz, you've got two good scenes. Personally, I love the Dave Clark Five and The Animals, but the songs they perform here are far from their best. They aren't hits, and why they'd choose to waste filler material on a movie with the potential to reach a bigger audience is beyond me.

One of my pet peeves is when a film features a song clearly written by an older songwriter with a background in show tunes and the like, and tries to pass it off as a big pop hit. I can't fathom any universe in which the song performed by Mary Ann Mobley, "Get Yourself a College Girl", would be a hit. And yet she's presented to us as this major songwriter with her finger on the pulse of today's youth.

The script feels like it was thrown together on the set. Is it about Mary Ann Mobley being booted out of college? No, wait, it's about her fighting and falling in love with her publisher. Nope, never mind, it's about re-electing a senator. Oops, looks like we're out of time. The end. But before we go, here are the Dave Clark Five and The Animals to sing some more songs you've never heard of while we film them in a straight-on close up that looks like a mugshot.

Great material for Mystery science theater. Just imagine you're Crow or Tom Servo and toss in the appropriate comments. This movie is so bad that is crosses way over the line into high camp. That's when the humor becomes unintentional. I love it. What were they thinking? A couple of old pros, character actors Willard Waterman and James Millhollin provide some actual humor. The main reason to see this movie is the music. The Animals and the Dave Clark Five do a horrible job lip-synching their songs but there are actually a couple of honest jazz musicians in Stan Getz and Jimmy Smith who are great. There's also a dixieland band of young guys who even tap dance. Unreal. Freddy Bell and Roberta Lynn are the worst third-rate Vegas act you can imagine. favorite line: "Where did you almost get that bikini" "I wear a 10 but and 8 looked so good, I bought a 6." Nancy Sinatra, Chris Noel, and Mary Ann Mobley are smokin' and for you girls there's Chad Everett. This movie is about what Hollywood thought the hip college student were like in 1964 and they couldn't be more wrong. The results are hilarious. Check it out on Turner tv sometime, tape it if you have to. You'll be glad you did.

Instantly forgettable and pretty bad color "rock n roll" film that's deadly dull. It's got all the clichés, like the older generation who doesn't "get it", and young people dancing and strutting their stuff in revealing outfits.

The female eye candy, in the form of pretty Mary Ann Mobley and her other girlfriends, are about all there is to watch in this deadly dull timepiece. Some of my favorite '60s groups, like The Animals and The Dave Clark Five, get to perform a few numbers on stage, but their material is just as underwhelming.

* out of ****

So the plot is definitely straight out of an Elvis movie, and the production values so bad it's almost better to play this one like it was a high school play than a movie. The sets look like fake movie sets in movies about movies.

I find two things fascinating about this movie forty years out:

(1) what passed for sexually suggestive or titillating once upon a time, which still has some fetishistic appeal (pay attention to Nancy Sinatra's scenes).

(2) Exactly how ugly Eric Burdon and all of the Animals were. Come to think of it, everybody in this movie is kinda ugly, at least everybody on stage. The Dave Clark Five made me "Glad All Over" I didn't have a British dentist.

But this is a movie worth watching just for the musical performances, and if you like camp or early 60s lingerie you'll have something to get you from the party scene to the telethon scene.

As the song lyrics gush in the opening credits "Come on along and join the Swinging Set" as you watch this quite silly, but fun film about Terry (played by Mary Ann Mobley), a student at Wyndam College for Girls who writes songs under a pseudonym and already has her first hit single, a ditty called "Help Stamp Out Men!". When the college board finds out about her songs (with lyrics like "She knows all there is to know from A to Z about S - E - X") they want to expel her for bringing "scandal" to the school - so Terry and her gal pals agree to have "nothing to do with men" on their Christmas holiday ski vacation in Sun Valley. But, oh no, they are soon being chased around the resort by Terry's music publisher (Chad Everett) and a French artist who want her to pose for a publicity painting wearing nothing but guitar and baby doll nightie!

Actresses wearing bikinis and shorty nightgowns who can *barely* act combined with fake-looking snow scene backdrops, poorly lip-synched song performances, and handsome, but oh so boring young Chad Everett makes this sound like a pretty bad movie - but that's all completely part of the campy, nostalgic, 60s fun here! Yes, this film is a bit of fluff, but quite enjoyable. It is full of swinging party scenes at places like the Go Go Club, with kids dancing the Swim and Watusi, and lots of great, live performances by such groups as The Animals and The Dave Clark Five, and one of my favorite parts of the movie, Stan Getz along with the jazzy, cool girl performance done by Astrud Gilberto singing "The Girl from Ipanema" . Worth seeing for the music alone.

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.

Although she attends the conservative "Wyndham College for Girls," pretty Mary Ann Mobley (as Terry Taylor) is a swingin' sixties chick. She supports her education by writing hit songs, like "Help Stamp Out Men" (a million seller) and the sex-laced "Get Yourself a College Girl" (her latest). Co-ed Mobley and her groovy girlfriends have no trouble finding men and music to brighten their evenings, with groups like The Dave Clark Five and The Animals stopping by to perform for parties. Not bad, for 1966...

The college board of trustees frowns on sexpot Mobley's suggestive lyrics, and behavior; and, they want to expel her. Mobley's supporters, like beautiful Joan O'Brien (as Marge Endicott) consider Mobley a modern day "Joan of Arc", and persuade the college to give her a second chance. Mobley promises to stay away from men; then, handsome young music publisher Chad Everett (as Gary Underwood) enters the picture. Mr. Everett wants to melt Mobley's male-deprived heart. Will he succeed?

The mostly not-original, but contemporary, soundtrack is a strength, along with a good-looking cast. The song-synching is done very poorly, with Animal Eric Burdon looking typically lethargic. The opening credits top-bill the musical performers; but, Mobley and Everett are the stars, with Chris Noel (as Sue Ann) and Fabrizio Mioni (as Armand) offering sexy support. This is not, by any stretch, a great movie; but the cast relays a fun rapport - note Mobley and Everett knocking heads, on the slopes.

***** Get Yourself a College Girl (11/9/64) Sidney Miller ~ Mary Ann Mobley, Chad Everett, Joan O'Brien

The acting and production values of this movie are about on a par with something like Don Knotts' The Reluctant Astronaut or one of those sixties Disney movies starring Haley Mills. Or one of the Ronald Reagan Bonzo movies. Not awful, but definitely in the "B" movie category.

The music is what makes this movie worth watching. Stan Getz's performance of the Girl from Ipanema, with a very deadpan vocal by Astrud Gilberto, is one high point.

The Dave Clark Five is also deadpan, wooden even, and it is easy to see why they didn't surpass the Beatles as some in the sixties thought they might. Classic performances by the Standells and the Animals are here too.

Along with Stan Getz, the Jimmy Smith Trio provides some great jazz.

A fun look into what middle-aged Hollywood screenwriters thought the younger generation was up to. Well worth watching. The studio is missing an opportunity by not releasing this film on DVD. I had to buy mine bootleg on an on-line auction.

Well what can I say? I saw this movie at the base theater in Keflavik, Iceland back in 1965-66. The cool thing about it was that at the time the "Beach" movies were the hot ones that the military loved to show on the bases. There were probably 10 of this type of film and we saw them all and loved them. When you see a movie on a military base there is a lot of shouting and hooting going on by everyone during the film. This made it fun just to be there. California was the magical place with lots of things going on. It played to the fantasy when you are living in the land of the midnight sun! I will have to see the movie again sometime because it's been 40 plus years since I have seen it. But I did enjoy it at the time and place!

Wow, this film is a real doozie as far as beach and party movies of the 60s was concerned...the acting is grade Z and I cant imagine the producer paid any of the actors more than a few thousand bucks apiece to make this "gem".....Mary Ann Mobley, Chris Noel, Nancy Sinatra, Joan O'Brien are the eye candy in this typical teenage boy loves girl fluff that was going around in mid 60s movies ala all the beach party fluff from Frankie and Annette...if it made tons of money for American International pictures you would guess other producers would hire young starlets for penny ante salaries to continue this stuff. The producer had no script except to hire some popular English singing groups for cameos like the Dave Clark Five and the Animals and some struggling bands like the Standells.....this film did not require any acting ability to speak of....this compounded by wooden, painted mountain scenes in the background of a ski lodge and phony cotton snow on the ground at a California ski lodge gives you an idea of the budget. Mary Ann Mobley is a stitch...she pretends to hate a music producer who wanted her to pose in a skimpy outfit but then falls madly in love with him in one 20 second scene at the ski lodge....ugh!!! All Nancy Sinatra can do is stand by a doorwall at the lodge and act like she is a smitten newly wed and mumble in sexy tones about being married....a four year old could recite her dialogue....actress Chris Noel though departed after this film and went to Vietnam according to legend and met and fell in love and got married to an army officer.....she also did a radio pop music show on the airways for the soldiers in Vietnam in the latter 60s......all in all if you can stand grade zero acting and poor sets you will like this teenage scruff.

I've watched several of these "beach movies" but this one is the worst. It was difficult to watch the entire film. I Iove 60's movies, but this film had no plot and, as someone who was a teen and young adult in the 1960's, this film didn't represent any kind of life that I or anyone else I knew lived through. Even the musical artists in the movie didn't perform their hits in many cases. Most adults in the film were portrayed as clueless idiots. I doubt if any of the actors in this flick would be proud of their performance. This film did not represent teens and young adults in the 60's. Trust me on that.

Cliche-laden- generation gap flick -

stars the yummy Chad Everett as a record producer and Mary Ann Mobley as a shocking college girl who, under a pseudonym, writes "racy" songs with titles like "Stamp Out Men" and Kinsey-Report inspired absurdities.

However there are fun music performances by The Animals and Astrid "The Boy from Ipanema" Gilberto and others.

"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.

The Wyndham College for Women is a conservative school but girls just want to have fun. The girls host a party where many bands perform. Terry Taylor (Mary Ann Mobley) is a senior writing pop songs under an assumed name. Her publisher Gary Underwood introduces her to perform the title song and she is threatened with expulsion. She and her girlfriends set off for a ski holiday.

The girls are beautiful and statuesque. Their acting is not that good but it's fine. Mobley is a former Miss America and she may even sings. The story is pretty stupid babe-misadventure. Quite frankly, none of it matters. None of the characters matter. The best parts are seeing the Animals and others playing their music. I think it's the first time I've seen Astrud Gilberto performing "The Girl from Ipanema." Interesting. Just fast forward to your songs and forget the rest.

This film begins with the extremely conservative board of a small women's college discovering that one of their students by the name of "Teresa Taylor" (Mary Ann Mobley) has secretly written a song advocating sexual freedom. Clearly upset, the board wastes no time in convening a hearing to discuss her immediate expulsion. Fortunately, cooler minds prevail and, since the college has temporarily closed for Christmas, they give Teresa a one-week reprieve before making their determination. This discovery also draws the interest of a local politician named "Senator Hubert Morrison" (Willard Waterman) who is up for reelection and has no desire to be on the wrong side of a scandal such as this. To that effect, he subsequently takes it upon himself to conduct his own investigation upon Teresa and her friends who are vacationing at a ski resort nearby. What he doesn't realize, however, is that his close proximity to Teresa and her friends will create a scandal for himself as well. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this comedy had a couple of notable elements in its favor. For starters, it had two extremely popular bands by the name of "The Dave Clark Five" and "The Animals" who were instrumental in the musical phenomenon known in rock-and-roll history as "The First British Invasion." You probably had to be there to understand just how big this was at the time. There were also a number of other bands in this movie to keep things humming along as well. Yet even so, other than the hit song "The Girl from Ipanema" by Getz and Gilberto, none of these musicians really stood out in this film, one way or the other. At least, I didn't think so. Fortunately, this film also had a number of attractive actresses like Joan O'Brien (as the young ladies' musical instructor "Marge Endicott"), Chris Noel ("Sue Ann Mobley"), Nancy Sinatra ("Lynne") and the aforementioned Mary Ann Mobley who all contributed in their own way. Be that as it may, although I don't consider this to be a great comedy by any means, I suppose it managed to pass the time well enough, and I have rated it accordingly. Average.

One of the most truly fabulous awful movies of all time. If you and your friends love good/bad film, forget about "Showgirls" or "Valley of the Dolls." Find this movie, get a group together, get drunk and have a blast. The title number alone will have you laughing till you cry. Chad Everett, Astrid, Nancy Sinatra, and a sexed-up Mary Ann Mobley - this movie is cheeseball heaven. This film really does deserve a place in the pantheon of classic 60's camp, but nobody seems to know about it. It could be shown as a midnight movie on campuses everywhere. How could you not love a movie that has Ms. Mobley singing lines like: "She knows all her A-B-C's/Regarding S-E-X!/S-E-X spells sex!"

Yes, the jazz fans will certainly like parts of this movie. That's a very young Gary Burton playing vibes behind Stan Getz blowing sax and Astrud Gilberto singing the English version of "The Girl From Ipanema". At the time this movie was made, Burton had only been recording for a couple of years or so. (I don't recognize the bassist or drummer.) Another treat in this movie is the Jimmy Smith trio. There are copies of the Getz/Gilberto number on Youtube, but the quality is horrible. Now if they would just release this thing on DVD! They may have already, but it isn't readily available. If anyone knows anything about that, please post it!

Interesting that a film like this would contain what I feel is the make-up of the most definitive Bossa Nova singer and jazz sideman ever in history!! Astrud Gilberto with her drier than a dustbowl martini voice...beautiful; the illustrious and late great Stan Getz on tenor, Gary Burton vibes (Berklee School of Music VP), Gene Cherico, bass, and Joe Hunt, drums...Buy the movie just for "The Girl From Ipanema"!! Well worth it!! Musical history!! I've met Astrud after a Midwest concert--she's as wonderful and unassuming in person as is her sweet, sparkling voice!! The best recorded rendition of "Girl From.." is the 1964 recording from Greenwich Village in New York city.

The best movie representation of dated and camp I could dream. Despite excelling at every aspect of dated material, it finds unexpected ways to amuse. It's obvious lesson on women's rights, and the absurd manner in which it tries to illustrate sexual equality, is an unexpected bonus. You may want to watch it more than once so you can catch smaller details. For example: the background on the ski mountain, and the fact that her lipstick is applied on top of the snow. If you only like 'quality movies' then don't even consider it. You must appreciate 60's pop music because there are a lot of hysterical band/dance scenes. If you like this sort of thing then I recommended it strongly.

This film is a laugh and a half. If you love beach movies but wish they were little more titillating check out this misguided pro feminist piece from the 60s. Highlights most definitely are the crazy tunes like STAMP OUT MEN . There are also some genuinely creepy moments in Astrid Gilberto's deadpan face whilst singing the brilliant classic GIRL FROM IPANEMA.A very bizarre film. This is the one you should be on acid watching!The Animals and Dave Clark Five footage is priceless.Nancy Sinatra is hot in this complete with F me boots on! Some of the worst tunes you'll ever hear can be found in this flick. One of my rock n roll favourites...
