...Gidget Goes to Rome. A gidget is very much like a tammy. She is a blonde and nubile teen-ager who is as wholesome as a popsicle and quite innocent of cost fan tutte. Only one girl in the whole world may officially style herself Gidget at any given time, and the current incumbent is chirpily brazen, healthily sneaker-shod Cindy Carol, late of North Hollywood High...
...while idly surfboarding at Malibu, Gidget and her girl friends get to talking about a trip to Rome. But go to Rome without boys? A girl would as soon go dateless to a drive-in. So Gidget gets Moondoggie, her beach-bum boy friend, to line up a couple of blind dates for her chums. Quicker than one can say Alitalia the adolescent sextet is scampering down the Spanish Steps, posing for gag snapshots in front of St. Peter's, twisting in the Baths of Caracalla.

Throbbing to guitars at midnight twist parties, they were fond of nudity and occasional ransacking of beach homes. But slowly the genuine challenge of the sport attracted a better ilk, and bit by bit an entire subculture emerged...
Chicago's incorruptible arbiter of advertising contests, the Reuben H. Donnelley Corp., found itself solemnly carrying coals to Newcastle. After wading through the entries in a jingle contest pushing Columbia Pictures' Gidget Goes Hawaiian, Donnelley awarded one of the grand prizes-a minor part in Columbia's forthcoming Diamond Head-to Palm Springs Housewife Lillian Kenaston, 58, better known to middle-aged Americans as 1920s Movie Heroine Billie Dove...
