Beach Party

Teenagers hang out at the beach because it gives them an excuse when their parents ask how they got crabs.

Fortunately for parents, the anthropologist in this comedy is studying the sexual habits of teenage beach bums.

Through his telescope, uptight Professor Sutwell (Robert Cummings) scrutinizes the mating rituals of the juveniles that frequent a local surf spot.

But when Sutwell defends a teen, Dolores (Annette Funicello), from a biker, Von Zipper (Harvey Lembeck), he makes himself Von Zipper's main adversary.

Meanwhile, Sutwell is caught in a love triangle with his assistant (Dorothy Malone) and Dolores, whose spiteful boyfriend (Frankie Avalon) is now romancing a waitress (Ava Six).

With cameos from Vincent Price and surf-guitar legend Dick Dale, this seaside romp set the standard for all silly 1960s surf movies that came after.

As for kinky foreplay at the beach, just have your partner pretend a jellyfish stung their face.
