On a college ski weekend, Todd and Craig pretend to be Jane and Nora, a pair of English girls. Their reasons? To meet girls, and to learn to ski.

Todd and Craig are FA and DH.
Annette Funicello makes an appearance, a couple of times, as the professor to this pair of guys. The book they're reading in the class is Fun without Sex.
We do manage to get a dance in bikinis. Just social dancing, indoors (at a pool?) at the ski lodge.
DH or FA does actually reference Some Like It Hot ('59) by name. This is a pale, anemic imitation of that.
This is very single-minded: the 2 guys want to learn how to get more action along sexual lines. That's it. The fact that a guy is attracted to DH as a girl just complicates things a bit.
The only things worthwhile in the whole film, saving it from being a 5-, are 2 songs:
- Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows, Performed by Lesley Gore
- I Got You (I Feel Good), Performed by James Brown and the Famous Flames
One more of these this year, one next year, and one in '87.
