Baby It's You (1983) More at IMDbPro »

In 1966 New Jersey, Jill Rosen, a frustrated high schooler, is intrigued by an enigmatic new student known only as the Sheik. Sheik is an Italian whose primary interests are his car, Frank Sinatra, and Jill. At first she is taken aback by his forwardness, but they soon develop a relationship, much to the chagrin of their parents. Sheik gets expelled from school, and Jill is accepted at an all-girls college. After a fight, Sheik goes to Florida to work in a club lip-synching Sinatra songs. Sheik becomes dissatisfied with his Florida lifestyle and goes back to New Jersey to try to win Jill over. Written by Philip Brubaker {coda@nando.net}

"Sheik is an Italian whose primary interests are his car, Frank Sinatra, and Jill."This is wrong. Sheik has no car. He uses his friend Rat's car, or Jill drives. At one point they borrow someone else's, and at another, he steals someone's car. But he never actually /owns/ a car of his own, not even in high school. And his primary interest isn't necessarily Frank Sinatra but his ideal of becoming a famous lounge singer like him. I wouldn't mention that, but the movie is kind of a play on classes so it's kind of significant. Just thought you guys should know it was a little off. It's also kind of important that Jill is dissatisfied with college at the same time Sheik gets dissatisfied with Florida. Written by Michael Hoffman {mjh49@pitt.edu}
