Little Darlings is a 1980 American teen comedy-drama film starring Tatum O'Neal and Kristy McNichol and featuring Armand Assante and Matt Dillon.

[3] The screenplay was written by Kimi Peck and Dalene Young and the original music score was composed by Charles Fox.

One day, the girls manage to steal one of the camp buses and use it to get condoms from the men's room at the local gas station.

Angel regularly sneaks out of camp to see Randy and she tries to get him drunk, while Ferris attempts to seduce Gary, but neither girl is successful in her efforts.

[5][6] Principal photography on Little Darlings began on March 19, 1979, at Hard Labor Creek State Park, 50 miles east of Atlanta.

[7] The gas station men's room (condom) scene was filmed in downtown Rutledge, the town nearest the park.

The meeting place for the buses at the beginning and ending were filmed in a parking lot near the offices of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and the old Omni Coliseum can be seen in the background including in the last scene of the movie.

And they go a long way toward lending the story a little charm.”[13]Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times also criticized the tonal inconsistencies of the film, but noted that “the scenes in which [the characters] actually confront the realities of sex are handled so thoughtfully and tastefully that they almost seem to belong to another movie.”[4] The film was notable for having a contemporary pop soundtrack, with music by artists like Blondie, Rickie Lee Jones, Supertramp, The Cars, and Iain Matthews.

The film, with its original theatrical soundtrack, would finally be released on both Blu-ray and 4K UHD formats in January 2024 by Vinegar Syndrome sub-label Cinématographe.

NBC acquired the film's broadcasting rights for $2.7 million, and it was first aired on May 9, 1983[15] in a heavily edited version, removing all scenes and lines alluding to sexual activity, giving the impression that, instead of trying to lose their virginity, Angel and Ferris were engaged in competition simply to make a guy fall in love with them.
