A talky, frenetic teen comedy in Technicolor that passes the time pleasantly enough. The picture of Eisenhower on the wall of Edward Andrews' office and one of the character's reminiscences about Fiorello la Guardia indicate just how long ago this all was.
In addition to former bad girl Jan Sterling as the hero's mother who "took up surfboarding at 39" and "read Scott Fitzgerald once and nothing else since" and Majel Barrett - later famous as Nurse Chappell in 'Star Trek' are two future bad girls: Susan Silo who later played The Riddler's devoted moll Mousey. And Elizabeth MacRae, as the party girl who was greeted with only slightly more enthusiasm thirteen years later as Meredith, the woman who picks up Gene Hackman at the wiretappers' convention in 'The Conversation'.
