Palm Springs Weekend is 1 1963 romantic comedy following Los Angeles college students on Easter break in the desert resort of Palm Springs, packed with poolside mayhem, musical numbers, and great architecture.  Pre-med basketball player Jim (Troy Donahue) pursues Bunny (Stefanie Powers), daughter of the overprotective local police chief; socialite Gayle (Connie Stevens) is courted by both a spoiled playboy (Robert Conrad) and a rugged stuntman (Ty Hardin); and Jim's bumbling roommate Biff (Jerry Van Dyke) chases a tomboyish girl (Zeme North) while wrangling a mischievous kid at their motel. As the students' antics clash with townspeople and hotel staff, the weekend delivers a classic taste of Palm Springs!
