Gidget Goes Hawaiian (1961)


Gidget was kind of a brat. She throws a tantrum because her parents surprise her with news that they're all going to Hawaii! Her boyfriend, Moondoggie, is home on vacation from law school in the east and she doesn't want to leave while he's back. Moondoggie, a frat-boy, tells her she should go because surfing in Hawaii is great, so she stomps off in a huff, goes home and tells her parents she'll go after all. Her father (Carl Reiner) sees how terribly unhappy she is without Moondoggie, so he pays for him to come to Hawaii, too, but she's already stolen another girl's boyfriend. We're supposed to side with Gidget because the other girl can't swim.

I assumed it was all filmed in California and part of it was, but they also used locations in Hawaii and New Zealand.
