Director Bruce Bilson did a solid of job of turning Gidget into a independent businesswoman --and fast. The endgame is to save enough money to buy her dad an expensive camera.
Ready, set GO!
As expected... there's a mixup as to what Gidget is doing away from home at night? She's supposed to be babysitting? Nope. Then there's the chance she may be working at the notorious Tomcat Club for swingers? No Way. But the name alone gets Professor Lawrence into the action, who proceeds to become a private eye.
Actually, Gidge is trying to get fast bucks hustling shakes at "Kicks," an ice cream joint. Beware of the complaining customers!
By the way, is it all a coincidence the group Paul Revere and the Raiders had a big hit at the time called KICKS? Number 4 on the Top 40 charts.
I agree with the last reviewer it looks like one or two sets from GET SMART were borrowed and used for the interiors of the Tomcat Club. Watch for Richard Bull as the maire 'd, who later would appear in many episodes of VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA and co-star on LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE as Nels.
In the retail department: the expensive cam costs $79.95 which would equal $900 smackers today. Good luck with that! That's a lot of shakes and sundaes she has to hustle.
Bilson at the time was also directing the PATTY DUKE SHOW, later to master HOGANS HEROES.
Nicely done by the cast, and slightly more dramatic at times. SEASON 1 EPISODE 27 remastered dvd box set.
