1965 - BEACH BLANKET BINGO, ok here we go.

 The fifth film in the AIP beach party series.

Linda Evans way before her Dynasty days is pop singer "Sugar Kane," who Harvey Lembeck's motorcycle hood "Eric Von Zipper" has a big crush on.  He hires bad guy Timothy Carey playing a pool hustler character named "South Dakota Slim," to kidnap her.

Frankie and Annette are back playing surfing lovebirds "Frankie and Dee Dee."

Don Rickles and Paul Lynde are on hand basically to insult everyone.

Marta Kristen is "Lorelei" the mermaid.

Singer Donna Loren plays herself performing a not bad song "It Only Hurts When I Cry." She was actually a teenager compared to everyone else in the cast.

Finally Buster Keaton and Bobbi Shaw are in this film for some reason.

Written by Leo Townsend and the director William Asher.  The running time is 98 minutes.
