General info:

Country: worldwide

Video Type: Film

Status:

Description: The bane of every surfer's existence upon its release—especially those whose Malibu beach break suddenly became more crowded than ever—Gidget was the scapegoat for purists upset that their sport, and their waves, were being taken over by the masses. But despite a cheesy faux love triangle and even cheesier back-projected "surf" shots, Gidget made surfing accessible to the American mainstream—and told a sweet and entertaining coming-of-age tale at the same time.

Released: 1959
