Connie Francis Promotes Great American Beach Party ^Featured

"Where the Boys Are"

On January 29, 2010, Singer Connie Francis exited from a vintage muscle car, escorted by modern day muscle men, to promote the 50th Anniversary event remembering the movie "Where the Boys Are" filmed on Fort Lauderdale Beach, across from the famous Elbow Room, which still remains. Francis recalled that when she visited the beach for the first time she thought there was nothing there. Little did she know at the time that the movie would inspire millions of spring breakers for the next four decades.

Mayor Jack Seiler announced plans for a special event May 28-29, 2010 to celebrate the anniversary of the film.
