“As a surf portrait of adolescent America, the film has a relaxed air befitting its nice young people and some random, knowing observations about growing up.”
– Howard Thompson, The New York Times
“One of the very few surf-and-sand movies not only to tell its story from a teenager’s point of view, it’s one that really understands the emotions of teenagers and how they really interact.”
– Stuart Galbraith IV, DVDtalk.com
The original surfer girl/beach bum movie, adapted from the novel by Frederick Kohner, Gidget (1959) stars Sandra Dee as determined little Frances Lawrence, who falls in love both with surfing and with the characters who populate the local Southern California beach hangout. Of particular interest are the young Moondoggie (James Darren) and the more mature Big Kahuna (Cliff Robertson), a Korean War vet who is the idol of every surfer on the coast for his life of apparently unfettered freedom.
