As with most firsts, the first film is the best as it has a fresh idea and is not rehashed. I may seem a little sophomoric these days but it filled a gap and reflected the music and culture of the time.
Frankie (Frankie Avalon) assumes he is going to spend the summer alone with Dolores (Annette Funicello). The boy is he in for a surprise. There are surfers, bikers, airplanes, and Morey Amsterdam.
Robert Cummings adds a good balance to this movie as a researcher of the California beach tribe. He must keep his objectivity as he is interacting with their culture. Will he be able to or not?
We are all waiting for the word from Big Daddy.
