it's not really that bad....


.....I mean its got beautiful scenery, hot babes in bikinis (and lyle wagoner if you're into that kind of thing), C list stars (but still stars), a plot (albeit silly) that at least sort of makes makes sense, comic relief with that guy who falls down a lot...ok not that, and little Richard sings a tune...its not Citizen Kane but for fluffy 60's fare its along the line of Elvis's 'Girl Happy' - of course its made a lot better with mst3k = plus it has creepy girl

I am sorry but it IS really that bad. Worst kind of drive-in drivel. Unbelievably bad. I watched about 20 minutes. Could not get beyond that. Terrible script, inept acting, badly photographed, extremely bad location sound. (guess they could not afford looping) Can't believe that any of the scenes were beyond the first take. It has the look of a hastily made very cheap production. The only name in the cast was Tommy Kirk and he must have not wanted to ever claim this abortion.
