SYNOPSIS

A boundlessly energetic musical romance, based on Max Shulman's book, which saw the creation of that archetypical girl-watcher Dobie Gillis. Sparkling tunes, freewheeling dancing, and teen comedy earned Dobie a TV series in 1959, where Dwayne Hickman took over the duties that Van introduced here.
