Theatrical trailer for one the most iconic films of the early 1960s, BEACH PARTY, starring Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. Between August, 1963 and April, 1965, independent studio American-International, released four of these profitable films: BEACH PARTY, MUSCLE BEACH PARTY, BIKINI BEACH and BEACH BLANKET BINGO. Following the surfing craze of the 1960s, and incorpiorating such then-current fads as body building, drag racing and sky diving, these inexpensive films starred two unlikely "surfers", former teen ideol Frankie Avalon and ex-Mouseketeer, Annette Funicello. Inane, paper thin plots with broad comedy strokes -- peppered with music from not only the two stars but such artists as surf guitar legend Dick Dale, Little Steve Wonder, The Pyramids and The Hondells -- and casts featuring such veteran performers as Bob Cummings, Dorothy Malone, Buster Keaton and Paul Lynde -- made the trips to this never-neverland beaches (often filmed at Paradise Cove, California) of this popular films an enjoyable hour and a half for millions of moviegoers. Additional entries in the series were made with cast and local changes -- SKI PARTY, PAJAMA PARTY and HOW TO STUFF A WILD BIKINI, but none captured the magic or were as popular as the four films starring Avalon and Funicello.
