Gidget on the Couch

Longtime members of the LEMC will recall that one of last year's summer screenings was that influential mother of all surf movies, Gidget (1957). An article in the current issue of, um, The Believer investigates the background of Gidget and the "secret Austro-Hungarian roots" of the film, the hidden Freudian themes, and other stuff. Of course, we talked about all of this stuff during our post-screening discussion.
