Elwood Von Zipper is the most amazing character ever created for a beach movie. Part Brando & part Nerdo, creating this guy for a beach movie creates a natural void in the sand dunes. Throw in Frankie & Annette & you have mostly meaningless fluff.
What makes this rank above some of the other of its genre is that William Asher & the Bewitched production company did it on summer vacation. So this is what they did on summer vacation from twitching? While it is not as meaningful as other summer vacation movies made by TV production teams, it has a lot of good music from the era & a meaningless plot to go by.
Show this to the kiddies now, & it looks like art next to the Teenage Ninja Turtles movie, but this was supposed to be for teens, where the turtles are for well, turtles. Actually Elwood could be who Henry Winkler molded the Fonze after on Happy Days. Thank goodness they weren't putting Cunninghams Hardware store on this beach.
With Linda Evans, Deborah Walley & Marta Kristen in bikinis, Annette is just an extra body in this one
