Fun in the sun doesn't get much better than this! After years of watching, I could never grow tired of Annette and Frankie doing their little girl-friend/boy-friend thing while frequently interrupted by infectious surf music.
The actors deserve our respect for not only agreeing to work for peanuts, but also for filming during the chilly days of November so the film could be released the following spring, all so the American public could enjoy watching these kids' seemingly happy summer vacations. This was never meant to be a serious project to impress the Motion Picture Academy, just plain Summer fun with great 60s California Sound, just prior to the sudden impact of "Flower Power", Mama's & Papas, etc.
"Beach Blanket Bingo" also features the talented singer Donna Loren in a bit part as herself. Beach Blanket Bingo is the name of the game!
