| User ReviewMarilee AThis is back when Life Really Was a Beach ! This was the Beginning of a series of Beach Musicals that are Honest to Goodness Americana.You lose your self in Ridiculous Beach Fun that only the 60'scould provide, with Lovable Stupid Characters like the Lovebirds Frankie(Avalon) & Dolores(Annette Funicello) & Eric Von Zipper (Harvey Lembeck) who was suppose to be so menacing as a Gangster Hells Angels type.The Music was Great , there was so much Dancing & Fun going on,& it just gave you Smiles for Miles |
| User ReviewAj VThis is the first of the "Beach" movies with Frankie and Annette, and it's the best one of them. If you only see one "Beach" movie, see this one. |
| User ReviewAmanda MThis film is so cheesy it's wonderful. You've gotta love Vincent Price's cameo and the way the whole film almost functions as a trailer for another film. American International Pictures is perhaps the greatest production company ever. |
| User ReviewRob AA classic film. Well done with interesting characters, good soundtrack. |
| User ReviewTomi MThe Beach Party movies are not great cinema, but they are fun. This is the first of the series. The highlight of the film is Harvey Lembeck as Eric Von Zipper. |
