Per sempre con te, Mein Schiff fährt zu dir, Contigo para siempre
It can't hold a candle to its predecessor Where the Boys Are, but I'll give the mostly brainless comedy Follow the Boys - in which "seagulls" (wives and girlfriends of US Navy officers) traipse all over Europe to be with their sweethearts - some credit for showing off beautiful French and Italian locales and for pairing Paula Prentiss and Russ Tamblyn, the former as a metal can heiress (!) and the latter as a lieutenant who plans ahead for intimate maneuvers by carrying a "do-it-yourself seduction kit" equipped with a blanket, inflatable pillows, battery-powered lighting, liquor cabinet and hi-fi playing romantic music whenever he's on shore leave. For them and the title song performed by Connie Francis, Richard Thorpe's film is sort of worth it.
The Films of Paula Prentiss: Ranked (So Far)

One star for Connie Francis and one point five for Paula Prentiss, who is so insanely tall and gorgeous in this movie that it made me gayer by the second
“I didn’t know it was artificial when I stole it from the hotel lobby.”
”No one has ever given me a stolen artificial rose before.”
paula prentiss remains as cute as can be💘
she continues to play heiresses of the oddest things…first it was frankfurters now it’s tin cans😂
Very slight rom-com that had no real laughs for me. Managed to stick it out for the Italian scenery, Connie Francis, Janis Page, and Russ Tamblyn and Paula Prentiss. Boring aside from the sparkle of those five elements.
ya this feels like a purely for profit venture. Ofc … most hollywood studio movies are gonna be that but I mean like, this seems like somethin that got made where not only can they hopefully get butts in seats, but more importantly have connie sell a buncha records. Look at the other cover, it has “connie sings “ written in bigger letters than the title lol.
still, it’s not a terrible movie. There are sum somewhat funny parts, and it’s got paula and russ. russ shoulda been in all those 60s beach movies just like jim hutton shoulda been, too much focus on frankie. Anyway. This movie is actually better than girl interrupted, but just barely. 60/100
