Trivia:
Frequently referred to as an entry in the "Beach Party" movie series, lead actor Frankie Avalon, producing studio American-International, and a similar style plot targeting the same young target audience are all that this film has in common with the others. Avalon's character has a completely different name (Todd Armstrong instead of Frankie with no last name, not even in How to Stuff a Wild Bikini (1965), which had the character serving in the military), working against the connection. Series leading lady Annette Funicello does have an uncredited cameo, but clearly not in her regular role of Dolores/Dee Dee. more

It melts on impact..., 17 June 2006
4/10
Author: moonspinner55 from redlands, ca

The "Beach Party" series taking one of its last gasps: Frankie Avalon and sniggering Dwayne Hickman hit the ski slopes and get stuck doing Tony Curtis & Jack Lemmon routines from "Some Like It Hot", and the comparison isn't favorable. Avalon is actually game, but Hickman has no screen presence and the comic hijinks are mostly juvenile. The script isn't as clever as the ones for the "Beach" flicks, and everyone just seems piqued. Avalon's main squeeze is no longer Annette Funicello, who has an unbilled cameo as a college professor (her two brief scenes are beauties). James Brown and Lesley Gore are both terrific in musical support, Deborah Walley and Yvonne Craig are pretty ski-bunnies, but this fractured gang is obviously a lackluster substitute. A.I.P. continued the following year not with "Cruise Party"--as advertised--but "Ghost In The Invisible Bikini". *1/2 from ****
