When did the movie spring breakers begin filming

( See how the recession is affecting spring break.)Д«y the free-loving '70s, Fort Lauderdale's fun and sun had become decidedly raunchier. The Fort Lauderdale-set film spread the tale of collegiate men and women voyaging to the halcyon shores of Florida to find fun, sun В— and maybe even true love В— far and wide. Two years later came the release of the spring break-themed hit movie Where the Boys Are starring a young, preternaturally tan George Hamilton. TIME first highlighted spring break in an April 1959 article titled 'Beer & the Beach' ('It's not that we drink so much,' noted one attendee, 'it's that we drink all the time.'). The tradition of college swimmers traipsing to Florida in droves continued well into the swinging 60s. In 1938, sensing a marketing opportunity, the city hosted the first College Coaches' Swim Forum at the Casino Pool according to one source, by 1938 more than 300 swimmers were competing at the event, and a bacchanal was born. More immediate responsibility, however, lies with a swimming coach at Colgate University, Sam Ingram, who brought his team down to Fort Lauderdale in 1936 to train at the Casino Pool В— the first Olympic-size swimming pool in Florida. The arrival of spring, the season of fertility and awakening, was historically celebrated in tandem with the veneration of Dionysus or Bacchus В— the Greek and Roman gods of wine. Ah, spring break.Д«lame the debauchery on those hedonistic ancient Greeks and Romans. It's that time of year again: the birds are beginning to return to snowbound northern cities, the first buds of spring are sprouting on trees and hordes of college students are descending on the beaches of Mexico, the Caribbean and the southern U.S., turning them into twisted cesspools of sunburn, margaritas and wet T shirt contests.
