Stands for girl midget. This once-happenin' teenage surfing-flick is a film recommended for those few people who want to travel back to those beach party days. Sandra Dee stars as a girl with boy problems until she decides to purchase a surfboard and become the only female member of a surfing gang. Romance abounds. Sometimes considered a classic, Gidget spawned many sequels and some television series. Very popular in its time.
