Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the scene where Susan rides her birthday horse, Chulo, for the first time, there was a cameo by champion stud Captain Topper, a Shetland pony born in 1956. He was adjudged the greatest model stallion at the National Congress Pony Show in 1958 and 1959, and won 17 championships and 40 blue ribbons. Captain Topper was purchased for $6000 by Miss Patricia Burton of Detroit, who operated a stud farm on the Monterey peninsula.
- GoofsAt the Old Southern Pacific train station in Monterey, when Susan's train arrives from San Francisco, the train is going the wrong way (we see the northbound train to San Francisco, not the southbound train from San Francisco).

Featured review
I just wanted to share that when this movie came out--I was living in Brooklyn, New York at the time. This is Connie's birthplace.
Well, she and Troy were on a big p.r. junket and went in person to several movie theatres in the NYC area.
So, she and Troy came out after the showing of the movie and talked and joked. At one point, Connie said, "I'm going to teach Troy how to twist." Everyone applauded this.
It was really cute.
Later on it was always written how much these two hated each other.
I was one of those teeny boppers who just "loved Troy" and melted every time I saw him on the screen.
The movie is outdated and we can all now be cynical and write about the outmoded dialogue, old-fashioned mores, and ridiculous plot devices. But, if that is done, you lose the reason for film in the first place.
This film, which I always enjoy, exhibits for all to see what the early '60s and late '50s were like. How parents were willing to sacrifice everything to save the name and reputation of their young daughter, and how a man who truly loves a woman does not prejudge, but understands, and is willing to understand.
This little movie says all of this to me.
And those gorgeous Northern California locations that are underscored with the Max Steinman music, are a treat to behold.
What a gem!!
