James Darren music career started with "Gidget" in which he performed the title song "Gidget" and the song The Next Best Thing to Love", the previous one became a successful release the same year.
"The Next Best Thing To Love"
Lyrics by Stanley Styne
Music by Fred Karger
Performed by James Darren - Zábava
Sandra Dee was the best Gidget. She had more chemistry with Darren than the other actresses.
Because he actually had a crush on her . Too bad Sandra's mom kept her away from everyone.
Sandra Dee was the best GIDGET EVER !!!! You know she married Bobby Darin in real life !!!??🎶🎶🎶😎😎😎
She was the perfect combination of vulnerability, spunkiness and innocence in this wonderful classic. For years after first seeing this film as a kid back in the early 60's, I wished I could be a "Gidget" so I could have a "Moondoggie".
Could a young man that Beautiful really have a voice as Great as this... Yes he could and his name is James Darren ..
I just looked up James Darren and they say he’s still alive and he looks awesome never lost his good looks
They were both adorable. The movie takes you back to an innocent time.
Loved this movie since I was thirteen. I’m 71 now
I can't imagine a more wonderful experience in life than looking down into those big, brown eyes and seeing that look of total love on Sandra's face. The most beautiful vision possible this side of heaven! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
He was one of the most underrated singers of his time. He had a beautiful voice and was a very good dramatic actor too.
Gorgeous face too.
How I loved this movie & the two of them!
James Darren was at top of his game here. These were his glory years and he came into his own in 1966 in The Time Tunnel. Where ever you are James Darren, you had your day in the sun in the 1960s!
I
Loved these two together
Innocence blooming!
These were the best and most beautiful times ❤
💕💕💕💕💕🫶🏼🇦🇺
Admirer....James Darren still love him and Sandra Dee what a doll!!!
One of my favorite movies, loved the cuteness of Sandra Dee, and James Darren what a hearthrob!!!
So, wholesome, & respect for each other.💕
2022? I'm probably the only 19 yes old girl watching this or like old movies like these this and pillow talk are some of my faves
I’m 57 and started watching these movies and musical when a teen. Loved Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis movies. My brothers would make fun of me. ♥️
So many beautiful memories of a innocent era
So love Gidget movies. But totally loved it with Sandra Dee.
Forget how good this song is and how well Darren sings it.
I watch this movie the first time when I was 15 and I’m 40 now still love it just as much! Darren is so handsome while Sandra Dee is so darling, they had Chemistry on the screen
I love Sandra Dee. And I love this movie. She is so beautiful!! I love this scene, if James Darren was singing so romantically like that to me, I'd swoon orfaint dead away!
Love this guy since I was a young girl!!!! He's the best!! Love him!!!
He's amazing in Deep Space Nine!
He was so GORGEOUS with those glittering dark eyes and SMILE that made my teenager toes curl 🥰 I loved this movie 🎥 .....and what a dreamy voice!
These movies were part of my youth & I loved watching them
The best Gidget and Moondoggie❤️
Loved this movie! ♥️👍
This movie and this couple defined my youth....lucky me to have lived in Phila and will never forget a backstage greeting complete with a friendly peck! Totally agree with the comments about his amazing talent.
I watch this movies in my youth with Sandra Dee and later this on with Debbie Walley in Hawaii in German! I love it so much. Later in the last years I got the dvd in English with also Gidget in Rome! That’s so fun, so heartwarming and Sandra Dee was the best Gidget, but also the other two I enjoyed so much. ❤❤❤ And James Darren, I was in love, he was a heartthrob! ❤️
Happy Birthday James Darren. 80 years young today. Hard to believe! I love this movie! You and Sandy were a cute couple. This is the best of all the Gidget movies.
He still looks good too.
dam Darren is 80.. I still love him
Italian men age well and most keep their hair. Never seen Italian person who did not have good hair.
James Darren was a good singer.

I just happened to dvr this movie on TCM and I'm so glad I did. I love this movie and James Darren is so good looking. And when he starts singing it's just icing on the cake.

What a man... Good looks. Can't find that today.
I love this sweet cute summer classic movie!!💗
Boy he could sure sing and good looking too.
WOW he looks soo much younger in this film, I realize this is an old movie, however I just saw him in a star trek Deep Space nine episode and he's a lot older, but still singing! Awesome stuff
I've been in love with this man since I was 10 yrs. old and always will be! So talented, so gorgeous! Wish he came to Ct to sing or even NY. I've seen everything I could concerning him and heard everything. Still dreamy even at this stage life! To see him in person is on my bucket list.
Danced with him one night at a private club in Beverly Hills ..Sweet as can be ..
I too was 10 yrs old , just like you, when I saw “Gidget” & immediately fell in love with him! Biggest crush! Read how he married his high school sweetheart & happily married to her all these many yrs. what an amazing man he is! Handsome & faithful to his wife when he could have been with anyone! Does it get better than that? I don’t think so ha!🤣 one of his children, a son was a newsman on CNN I read too! What a great guy! Just love James Darren!💗
I was 6, and have adored this man ever since.
Those days are gone .. but I am like that inside 💠
how can he be so beautiful! love this movie.....best of the gidgets for me.-
Are you I wish I was Sandra Dee in these movies to kiss him I'm so in love with him
Really was the superior of the trilogy! A shame we only saw Sandra and James together once
So dreamy! Yum!!!!!❤
I've seen this movie so many times. Great flick.
Me too! I never get tired of watching this movie!
I LOVE these movies!
Happy Birthday James Darren! I miss you on TV.
The best looking man ever!!! I fell in love with him at 9 and I think I still am! Pretty sad, but true!! hahahaha
I just met him last Saturday at The Hollywood Show. He is still gorgeous and oh so nice!!
Lucky, lucky you! Thanks for sharing with us all!

Nostalgia .......💖💜🧡💛💚💙💗❤♾🎵🎶2019
Loved this movie!!!
Moondoggie!! Such a crush!
Me to Ann..I had the whole movie but sony deleted it!!! I love James Darren. He's absolutely gorgeous. I also agree that him & Sandra Dee had the best chemistry
I got to watch the complete movie on yt a few months ago, but now it's gone, like so many other lovely old movies I got to watch only here. I hate that they delete them. New generations of fans won't even know about these movies if not for movielovers like you who upload them on yt.
I loved James in that movie. I feel the same about Johnny in Emma as I did James In Gidget! I think Johnny is absolutely gorgeous as a. blonde as James was as a brunette! Plus
Johnny is super talented at almost everything! Please people help me to convince Autumn to direct this movie and get AnyA to play Sandra s Dees part!!
I think Mr. Darren was dreamy at this point in time as well as in the 1980s and even today. I never miss an episode to T.J. Hooker and am looking forward to seeing Gidget Goes Hawaiian and Gidget Goes to Rome.
the most handsome man...I danced with him one night...the best....
Phyllis Greenberg ♥️ What I would have given to dance with him just once, just one night..
And I Totally agree with All else you've said. No One cld compare to James Darren~ ♥️
Oh gosh I’d love to hear that story
Phyllis Greenberg C'mon!! Tell us! Pleeeez!??!

My crush, James Darren ❤️
I only really remember him from The Time Tunnel which I have a great singer which I never knew he could
Happy Birthday, Jimmy ! xx !!!
I could pause at the kissing scene forever it's so romantic
I love this movie wish i could get full movie
Amazon would have the movie.
oh james ... I wish I was alive than... this man is fine
My favorite movie
That look he gave her would melt any girl ,any girl ..I think James Darren was I think, the most handsome guy in that time ,maybe Harry Belafonte was close ( but not as effective ) , this guy was just so handsome ,there's truelly no actor I can think of today that can come even close to his all gorgeousness ,Ryan Reynolds ,Bradley Cooper ,Hemsworth ? ..No way.. those guys are plain next to this guy and not at all heart thumpingly gorgeous nor as talented ,forget about it as they say in Philly .,and of course what girl doesn't still hold out hope to be as Gorgeous as Sandra Dee ?
He was so gorgeous
George Brett
Barbara Bach U Nailed it! No One.. but NO ONE, Cld Ever Come Close to James Darren!!!!!! And those Heart Thumps, Priceless. A girl's lucky if she gets that thumping in her Heart once in a lifetime. I had two. One in my own life, and the other... Everytime I saw or even heard James Darren!! And I Still get the thumping in my heart... Whenever I put my Gidget Dvd in! ♥️ 👍 😀
Barbara Bach Totally and completely agree - major obsession/crush on him when I was a girl - my first ‘love’ looked like him .....
I'm a girl born in 1987 and if a boy sang that romantically like that to me, I'd swoon!!!
It's hard to believe just how fast, Francine Lawrence's hair color went from blonde to brunette. This however still gave me the idea of; this is where Francine Lawrence, meets the Q'Bert Q'Val. Since Q'Val had the same hair color, hair do, one piece swimwear color, and swimwear style Francine Lawrence wore.👱♂️ 👸 👱♀️
I was a little girl that I enjoyed this show I wish I could find the movies
They are both so damn cute
He's just so yummy!! So so handsome! Even today😍💕💕
Sandra Dee realmente foi a melhor Gidget!
Just heard about this movie, shame I can't see the full movie
Ohhh. 😊Real nice .
Older guys at the senior center were talking how they wanted to "go back to the old days" I asked exactly when do you mean,answer 1959.
@sierria64 he really is! I mean it doesn't get better than this scene. Look at the way he is looking at Sandra Dee! I read recently that he said he was head over heels for her when filming this movie but her mom wouldn't let them date. You can really see in his eyes real feelings whereas I didn't see it with the other gidgets. I love him.
HAPPY 88TH BIRTHDAY JAMES DARREN
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I only know his singing from "Good-bye, Cruel World," but a ballad like this seems to be much more in his style. If only he could have been a bit more expressive facially here, but no matter. I hope he made an album of ballads and swing number like this one.
Darren made a few fine albums. Ballads, by him, were great. Two yrs. I found AND married Sandra Dee'--s double & headed for college (Christine Armstrong, Tustin, CA AND a surfergirl. I'-m now alone as she'-s gone & our son died 4 months ago. What a time. Get the book on Amazon. Terrific.
My mom used to call me Gidget as a nickname. I'm 4'8" and blonde.
@CMAILG I WAS BORN IN 1965 AND I FIRST FOUND OUT ABOUT HIM WHEN I SAW A GIDGET RERUN.. AS A LIL KID IN THE 1970;S.I SAW THIS AMN AND EVEN AS A LIL GIRL IS SAID OH MY.....SO I WENT OUT YRS LATER AND BOUGH THIS MOVIE AT SUNCOAST VEDIO..JUST TO LOOK AT THIS MAN.. DAM HE WAS FINE AS HELL..I WILL SAY THAT I'VE HAD A CRUSH ON HIM SINCE I WAS 9 YRS OLD
DAM DARREN WAS FINE AS HELL...
I have his atuograph!
Gosh this is 50 years old-Mrs. Dee did not want her daughter to date smoking hot James Darren, but she had no problem with her marrying Bobby Darin? Really? I like Bobby, but that James-great voice, great looks. Whew!
there's a video of an interview with him a really nice gentleman he is. I grew up watching his movies, as a guy I always liked him, he seems so real.
For those who may be interested, James Darren is going to be at the Mid Atlantic Nostalgia Convention in Hunt Valley, MD Aug 9-11.
This is my favorite movie along with gidgit goes to Hawaii and gidgit goes to rome and gidgit 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Some one must have this Moive , so come on put it on CZcams .
