5.0 out of 5 stars fun fun fun times at Palm Springs Weekend, August 30, 2000
This film is great teenage fun and fun for the whole family. It's all about a group of college kids and other adolescents all converging on a resort town during Spring break thanks to Director Norman Taurog, Screenwriter Earl Hamner Jr. and a solid cast.

This was another Warner Brothers vehicle for Troy Donahue, who had just completed four quality productions with director Delmar Daves. This is not a bad film and is quite fun to watch. Troy even sings the title song behind the credits! It is chockfull of character actors and many television veterans from the 60s all the way up through the 90s. See if you can pick them out. They were all pretty young!

Troy Donahue also appeared on TV in "Surfside 6" and "Hawaiian Eye." Troy Donahue, born Merle Johnson, Jr. studied journalism at Columbia University and began appearing in stock productions. He entered into films with Universal and Warner Brothers.

Thanks, Troy Donahue! The good-times cast includes Connie Stevens, Robert Conrad, Ty Hardin, Stefanie Powers, Andrew Duggan, Jack Weston, Jerry Van Dyke, Billy Mumy and Carole Cook. Don't forget Troy!

This is one of the best VHS prints I have ever seen. It is excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars When is this classic going to DVD??, February 3, 2005
By Matthew Plouffe (Chula Vista, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Does anyone have inside info as to when this title will be released on DVD? I know Warner Bros. is planning on releasing many of their classic telvision shows this year (hopefully "Hawaiian Eye" will be included in that list) as part of their anniversary celebration. Hard to believe "Palm Springs Weekend" has slipped through the cracks for this long!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Weekend for everyone, October 25, 2002
By "texburgh" (Lawrence,, Kansas United States) - See all my reviews
What a great film. Not as kitchy as the Avalon/Funicello films but lots of fun bits and great characters. Zeme North is just great as the "plain girl" Amanda; Jerry Van Dyke is a terrific goof ball, and Robert Conrad plays the bad rich boy with gusto.

The VHS quality is very good and the film is wonderful fun for the whole family -- although my kids can't believe college kids actually wore jackets and ties to a party. Probably the most fun is watching Troy Donahue and Stephanie Powers do their crazy version of the twist. Gotta love this film.
