A boy wants to fall in love. An actress wants to be famous. And the kids of American astronauts want to name the new Gemini rocket "Herman's Hermits." And you thought the 60s were radical. Well, there never was anything radical about Herman's Hermits. That's "Herman," Peter Noone, and four other guys named Karl Green, Keith Hopwood, Derek Leckenby, and Barry Whitwam. They're all in this movie, though they rarely speak other to remind Herman that he's the leader and that's his job. Shelley Fabares plays the girl Herman falls for. Story goes that the film was going to be named after a different song, but then somebody realized that "A Must to Avoid" probably wasn't a message they wanted to send to the moviegoing public. The natural title might have been "Make Me Happy," but that's Fabares' song. Harmlessly entertaining fluff if you like Herman's Hermits, though you might get more mileage from the soundtrack.
