Get Yourself a College Girl

Get Yourself a College Girl is a 1964 film comedy in the style of a beach party movie. The plot involves a college co-ed who tries to balance her time writing songs and dealing with her publisher who tries to pursue her. It was directed by Sidney Miller and written by Robert E. Kent.

Turner Classic Movies critic Mel Neuhaus calls it "A curious 1964 hybrid of teen movie musical with pre-feminist overtones as well as a parody of moralistic anti-rock message films."

It is also notable for the appearance of Astrud Gilberto, the Brazilian singer who sang the international hit song The Girl from Ipanema, appearing as herself in the film.

Music

Sidney Miller and Fred Karger wrote two songs for the film, “The Swingin’ Set,” performed offscreen by Donnie Brooks at the film’s opening, and “Get Yourself a College Girl,” performed in the film by Mary Ann Mobley.

Stan Getz with the Stan Getz Quartet back Astrud Gilberto as she performs “The Girl from Ipanema;” The Rhythm Masters perform “Beat Street Rag;” The Jimmy Smith Trio perform “Johnny Come On Home” and the instrumental "The Sermon;" Freddie Bell & Roberta Linn with the Bellboys perform “Talkin' About Love;” The Standells perform “Bony Maronie” and “The Swim;” The Dave Clark Five perform “Whenever You're Around,” and “Thinking of You;” and The Animals sing “Blue Feeling” and “Round and Round.”

Singer Nancy Sinatra, who would have a hit record two years later, appears in this film but does not sing.
