i have love this movie ever since the first time i saw it year ago when i be a preteen . although it be an old movie and it be still quite enjoyable . it be make in 1959 so of course it lack the newer feature which todays movie emit . however and i think the simple and sweet story of first love be a nice escape from the harsh reality of todays world . i always choose movie that provide something i can not find in real life . i prefer escape the norm . if i want to see sex and violence all i have to do be watch the news . gidget take u all back to a simpler time and place where we can relive the memory of our youth or imagine how it might have be . i not only own the video but i also watch it on television whenever it air . have just finish watch again and i have to say that the idea that bl be a lesbian never enter my mind . they speak about how she have it make cause she wear her boyfriends pin . i always take that to mean that she be involve in a relationship with a guy who just happen to be away at college or work a lot . just cause someone have short hair doesn not make them a lesbian in my mind and i think the person who make that comment be way off base and do not really follow the conversation of the movie closely . i love all of the gidget movie and however to me sandra dee will always be the ultimate gidget and i be sad that we have lose her recently .
