Get Yourself a Record Collection
16 July 2009
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.
