| He's no Cliff Robertson but kind of cute. |

B-
Martin Milner plays the title character in this episode, with a different backstory than in the first movie. Amusingly, considering the images of flight that appear (wings vs. roots), Albert Mannheimer would write a Flying Nun episode (no, not a series I own), as well as a couple more for this show. Interestingly, Gidget's idea of being a free spirit is traveling with the Kahuna and cooking for him and taking care of him. Also, note that she clearly thinks cigarettes are icky. Her father as always remains protective but reasonable, a contrast to other TV fathers, e.g. Mr. Marie on That Girl a year later.
