The 1952 play upon which the movie is based was written by Mary Coyle Chase, the Denver playwright who also wrote the smash hit Broadway play Harvey. The title song, with words and music by Johnny Mercer, became a hit record for Boone. {{TOC limit| limit=2}} PlotAt Wingate High School, Vernon Kinswood (Hooper Dunbar), Arthur "Beau" Beaumont (Pat Boone) and Sanford "Fofo Bidnut" Wilson (Dick Sargent) race cars and boats, hang out at an after school place called the "Shamrock Club," and love a mythical dream girl named Bernardine from Sneaky Falls, Idaho. Sanford declares he intends to take a date to see bongo king Jack Costanzo perform at the Black Cat Club. The boys call the information operator once again and ask for the fictional Bernardine's phone number. A young operator, Jean (Terry Moore), answers the phone and so Sanford goes to the telephone office to ask her for a date. Jean accepts.

ProductionBuddy Adler of 20th Century Fox bought the film rights in 1955 as a vehicle for Robert Wagner.[3] The film, however, was reworked as a vehicle for Pat Boone. In 1956 Boone was one of the biggest music artists in the US. Several movie studios pursued him and Adler was successful, signing him to a multi-picture contract with Fox. Bernardine was to be his first film.[4]Boone tested for the roles of both Beaumont and Sanford. He was eventually cast as Beaumont - the role played on stage by John Kerr.[5][6] Dick Sargent received his first important screen role as Sanford.[7] (Edd Byrnes reportedly also tested for the role.[8]) Janet Gaynor was lured out of retirement to co-star as Sanford's mother. Filming on Bernardine started February 4, 1957 and was completed on March 27, 1957.[9] Songs
ReceptionTV Guide called Bernardine "... Fox's answer to the Presley films. Boone, who first achieved national recognition on Arthur Godfrey's TV show, is the white on white hero, one of several young and definitely unsleazy students who create a mythical girl named Bernardine that they would all love to love."[10]See also
