'''''Where the Boys Are''''' is a 1960 American motion picture comedy, based on the novel by Glendon Swarthout, about four Midwestern college co-eds who spend spring break in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The movie was designed for the teen market, featuring sun, sand, beautiful young starlets, and Rock and Roll music. Then pop music superstar Connie Francis has a role in the film and sings the title song. Neil Sedaka also performs on the soundtrack.

Released in the wintertime, the film inspired thousands more American college students to head to Fort Lauderdale, Florida for their annual spring break. An adaptation was remade in 1984 by TriStar.
