A spoiled rich playboy (James Darren) has his eye on a young college coed (Pamela Tiffin) who continues to resist his advances. Meanwhile, his father (Robert Middleton) does everything he can to break up the romance. Directed by Leslie H. Martinson (FATHOM), this is an incredibly lame (and dull) beach movie although more time seems to be spent in the nightclub where Tiffin's uncle (Woody Woodbury) works than on the beach. There are a couple of musical numbers including one bizarre effort where Bob Denver is buried in the sand with only his mouth and chin exposed as he sings! The film seems an attempt to turn Woodbury, a mediocre comedian, into a viable film commodity. It didn't. Best to stick with the BEACH PARTY franchise, at least they know what they're doing. With Ellen Burstyn (billed as Ellen McRae, this movie may have caused her to change her name), Tina Louise (who seems to be practicing for her Ginger character in GILLIGAN'S ISLAND), Nancy Sinatra, Paul Lynde, Anna Lee, George Raft and Roger Smith.
