atlasmb "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. Also, Eric Burdon (with The Animals) performs "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"--a great recording. I will add 1 point to my rating for these two songs.In summation, if you have to watch this film, at least you will have some good music to break up the silliness.

wes-connors 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

topcat-1 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.

shirl31635 An excellent example of 1960's culture and music, "Get Yourself a College Girl" should be interesting to fans of the era's "beach blanket" movies. The plot appears to be secondary to the music, but the picture is a fun way to relax for an hour or so. The musical groups are nice to listen to and Joan 'O Brien, always a lovely and competent actress, is enjoyable as instructor and student advocate.
