Oh, interesting point you make - this says they eventually got along better on DD. I find the story behind the filming interesting - people fainting from the heat, etc. Terrible conditions, yet you would never know it. OTOH, it’s also obvious that they filmed some scenes in the fall (the trees are changing in the opening scene when they are driving to the lodge - when do you take your summer vaca, September? But of course I would not have noticed that the first few times I saw it, lol).

Thanks for the link to the Wiki article. Chock full of information and trivia. I see the movie was released on my birthday. The film was a favorite of mine, partly because I worked one summer at a Jewish country club near Chicago when I was 18 and the music in the film was the music of my generation. In fact, I learned to dance to Bruce Chanel’s “Hey Baby”. I certainly could identify with much of the film.
