The beginning of College Confidential is great, even though it's overacted and silly. Two parents, Elisha Cook Jr. And Pamela Mason, are waiting up in their bathrobes for their teenaged daughter to come home from her date. She finally comes home and under their scolding and questioning, she admits that she was with her college professor. He was conducting a survey on sex and she stayed after class for hours, and hours...
Eli is livid, understandably, and he goes to the campus to confront Prof. Steve Allen. Steve insists his survey was perfectly innocent and that he wasn't even interviewing Eli's daughter the night before. She must have been out with her boyfriend and was embarrassed to admit it. The rest of the movie shows the raunchy college kids with sex on the brain. Partying by the lake in their bikinis, partying in Steve's apartment, partying after school - is Steve encouraging this behavior by conducting a sex survey, or is his attitude merely fitting in with the times?
You'll get to see lots of silly teenagers and lots of cameos from real people, like Sheila Graham, Walter Winchell, and Rocky Marciano. Conway Twitty sings a ridiculous but somehow cute and catchy title song, and Mamie Van Doren's character gets teased for looking like Mamie Van Doren. Herbert Marshall is the dean of the school, but he can't really add to the class of the movie. It's all cheese and low-class. It's quite hilarious, though, and you can imagine young audiences flocking to the drive-ins in 1960 to see it.
