APRIL LOVE no stars

This dollop of candy-floss is just the thing to brighten up a wet summer's afternoon. It's a pretty mediocre film but at least it's pretty, shot as it is on location. It was designed as a vehicle for Pat Boone, a major pop star of the time but not much of an actor and for up-and-coming musical star Shirley Jones as his love interest. If they are too twee for your liking there's always Dolores Michaels and Arthur O'Connell to distract you. There are also a few decent songs on the soundtrack including, of course, the Oscar-nominated title song.
