Anne and John think that Gidget is too unlady-like and destined to be an old maid living with Russ in twenty years, and so they want her to attend boarding school, in France! The premise doesn't fit in with anyone's character as established. In particular, you would think that if Anne is that over-protective and controlling of Gidget, she'd want to keep her local and under her thumb. Nonetheless, there are some nice performances by Don Porter and Sally Field, separately and together, and I like that Lynette Winter gets to show the sympathetic side of Larue. A pre-Laugh-In Judy Carne appears as one of the girlfriends of Russ's bachelor friend (Roy Stuart, who'd be in the movie The Love God? four years later).
