the cutest guys or girls in the movie


Who would you say are the cuties in this movie?

I would say:

1) TV Thompson
2) Basil
3) Franklin

in that order.

I never cared much for George Hamilton's looks. He was too much of a pretty boy for my liking!

My number one cute guy in this movie is Ryder because he is a pretty boy! And a rich one too. I thought TV was cute with an entertaining personality.

I notice that it wasn't necessary for male actors to be muscular or particularly well-toned in order to be leading men. George Hamilton's legs were quite skinny and none of "the boys" had the kind of pecs I'm used to seeing on actors in those type of roles today. Apparently, actresses still had to have a certain ideal figure which is interesting.

I thought Merritt was the cutest girl and probably the casting people did too since she was given the lead role.

I think that Ryder was too much of a pretty boy for my liking, too much of a "typical" good looking guy. I guess I just prefer a more unique look.

The females were all very lovely in this movie.

I thought all the girls were attractive too. And Angie was really a bundle of personality!

The girls were lovely.

Connie Francis was such a talented actress AND singer! I recommend you see her other movies, especially her musical "Looking for Love".

I just found it hard to believe that the guys in the movie would have found her unattractive. She kept putting herself down, but she sure was NOT ugly!

I think George Hamilton is the cutest guy. I think his looks are interesting and unique. I didn't find the other guys that good-looking, but that's just me.

As for the girls, I think Yvette Mimieux is gorgeous.

I think that all the women in the movie were very nice looking ladies. If I could look like any of them, I'd choose to look like Paula Prentiss.

In the movie, Connie Francis was supposed to be playing an average-looking girl, but she was really anything but average looking.

All the women were unique and gorgeous....lol@ Connie Francis trying to come off as the ugly duckling...she was breathtaking.
TV was the only character that I would find appealing....the other men were OK but...idk, just men, nothing special

reply

I know! I can't believe for a second that anyone would treat Connie Francis as the ugly duckling.

Future nun Dolores Hart gets my vote!!!

She was a very pretty lady, and so talented as well! I loved her in Come Fly With Me (1963), along with this film.

She got Elvis' vote.

Hands down, Yvette Mimieux is the fairest of them all!

reply

Connie looked very matronly in this. The blondes outclassed her in looks and style, and Paula was cute and adorable, in a gal-pal way.

reply

I thought that Connie was so pretty in this movie.
