Beach Party

Summary: I've waited 30 years for this DVD
Review: This is the movie that launched a genre. This movie introduces Frankie and Dee Dee, Bonehead/Deadhead, Candy, Animal, all the beach gang, and the one and only Eric Von Zipper. If you have seen any movie in the series you need this one, this is home plate. The video and sound quality on this DVD are incredible. This DVD also plays full screen (1.33:1 aspect ratio) on one side for people like me who hate 'letterbox' format AND it plays widesreen on the other side. I can watch it now on my little 19" TV in full screen mode and in 5 to 10 years from now when I can afford one of those 16:9 High Definition Wide Screen TV's it will play on that too, with amazing picture clarity. Now anytime on a cold dreary winter day, "nothing could be finer than the sand and surf that's out there", this movie brings sunshine and instant Summer fun. Thank You MGM!

Summary: Fun and Foolishness that set the pace
Review: This is the one that started it all. For my money, I'll take "Bikini beach" for some fall-down-on-the floor laughter and no pretense of sense. But this sets everything up. Bob Cummings as the professor with "pig bristles" (which would not look out of place a few years later) is interesting, as he actually befriends the kids unlike stuffed shirt Kennan Wynn in the later film. But as usual, get ready to HOWL in laughter when Erich Von Zipper and the Rats arrive, and the professor teaches him the "Himilayan Finger Technique" that became a running gag through the "Beach Party" films. Erich Von Zipper likes you, you stupids, and you'll like this film also!

Summary: Beach Party-what a trip!
Review: This is your typical 60's beach movie of the era. Robert Cummings is absolutely hilarious as the scientist who tries to figure out the teenagers of the day. And of course, I am a HUGE Vincent Price fan, and I was not disappointed. He only has 2 lines in the film at the very end, but what a way to end it! He plays "Big Daddy" :-) who is asleep through the entire film but wakes up at the very end to deliver "the word." It was too much. If you're a fan of Frankie Avalon and Annette Funacello, this is a great one for you.
