A Beach Movie with Four Attractive Young Ladies Jumping Up and Down
3 June 2022
This film essentially begins with four teenage students named "Jan" (Susanne Severeid), "Monica" (Rae Sperling), "Candy" (Sherry Hardin) and "Bebe" (Marcy Albrecht) enjoying some time together at the beach when they come across a "Surfer" (played by Phil J. Macias) who appears to be either stoned or drunk. Naturally, being a friendly sort of person, he offers to share his pot and beer with the four young ladies and they then proceed to have a good time. Unfortunately for him, at least, the good time ends when the young ladies' boyfriends show up and quickly chase him away. Needless to say, the young ladies are only too happy to meet up with their boyfriends and they all have a good time. Not long afterward, it's revealed that the girls are somewhat unhappy with the fact that they never seem to be able to find a suitable place to spend some time alone with their boyfriends. Their luck seems to change, however, when they meet an aging, silent-film star named "June East" (Maria Winters) who just happens to live alone in a mansion with 10 bedrooms and she is willing to let them have access to them-in return for a certain favor. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was one of those low-budget "beach films" which was made specifically for the drive-in theater market during a time when cheap films like this were in great demand. And while it may have filled a certain need at the time, that doesn't necessarily mean that this was a good movie. Quite the opposite, as the plot was much too shallow and the script was so weak that the actors were pretty much required to make due on their own for as long as possible. As a result, there are a number of lengthy scenes involving the young ladies simply jumping up and down in the ocean or wrestling with their boyfriends on the beach. Now, don't get me wrong, all of the girls were quite attractive-especially Marcy Albrecht and Rae Sperling. But there is such a thing as going to the proverbial well once too often and the director (Patrick Wright) clearly exceeded that point in the first 10 minutes or so. That being said, the plain fact is that this was not a good movie and I have rated it accordingly.
