Production

The film began as a script called A Young Man's Fancy. The rights were bought by Frank Sinatra's Essex Productions. The title was changed in order to secure funding participation from Pepsi Cola, who changed their slogan from "Be Sociable" (which had been used since 1958) to "Now It's Pepsi For Those Who Think Young".

The film marked the screen debut of Nancy Sinatra, Susan Hart, Lada Edmund Jr., and Dean Martin's daughter Claudia. Dolores Hart, and Ann-Margret were considered to star. Jeanne Crain was signed for the role of Pauline but eventually dropped out of the project.

Filming began August 14, 1963 at Paramount Studios. The film was shot in just 18 days. The beach scenes were shot at Mailbu Beach, all in one day. Some scenes were shot at the Occidental College in Los Angeles.

James Darren's character drives a 1963 Buick Riviera, designed by George Barris.
