Goulet and Williams in the same picture....who'd have thought?, 15 April 1999
Author: bob dove from Huntersville, N.C.

I saw this movie years ago,thought it was really good,but haven't seen it since.Two of the most popular singers of the 60's in one movie (plus Chevalier)....cool.If you have ever had the chance to see Andy's wonderful show at Branson,Mo.,he uses (or did use) a clip of himself and Sandra Dee(from this picture)in an absolutely hysterical bit.Put this movie out on video!!
