For Those Who Think Young, 18 September 2008

Pathetic ripoff on the AIP beach party movies with Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon....why blame UA studios for making this fluff...if it worked for AIP and made money it could do it for UA too....didn't take too much of a budget to turn out these teen age frolics, just a bunch of beach scenes with unknowns dancing around twisting their arms and fannies and staring sexually at each other. James Darren as much a staple in the beach/teenage movies as Frankie Avalon reprises Avalon's role and Pamela Tiffin (whatver became of her???) takes on Annette's role as the lame brained, boy chaser of James Darren. Ironic to see Ginger (Tina Louise) and Bob Denver (Gilligan) in this film playing two knuckleheads about a year or two before they signed on to do "Gilligan's Island". These teenage/beach party movies were all the same, zero acting, boys chasing girls and vice versa, a few guitar tunes, some goofy adults thrown in trying to control the beach set and oversee their kids/relations. Watch this fluff, or any of the Frankie/Annette movies, "Get Yourself a College Girl", "Ski Party", "Surf Party", "Hooteanny Hoot", "Ride the Wild Surf" with Fabian, and you would not know which film is which. Cant blame the studios....these films were made with tiny budgets and the teenagers of American flocked to the theatres/drive ins to suck them up. Made a ton of money for a little investment. Poor Paul Lynde stuck in this film...he was given little to work with and played second fiddle to a mildly successful 60s comedian, Woody Woodbury. He tried hard to be funny but came on more as a bore than a laugh. Nancy Sinatra in one of her first roles playing a coed chasing the boys, ala Bob Denver. Pamela Tiffin had fake eyelashes on in this film that looked about 3 inches too long....she and Darren reunited the same year in "The Lively Set", a film about car racing...diss the beach in this one. As the 60s progressed these films went totally out of style with the hippie/drug culture taking over America. Still this stuff was great drive in material during the 60s...you will like this film if you were a teenager in the early 60s.....
