Watch Pretty Poison and see if you don't agree. The script is by Lorenzo Semple, Jr., of Batman fame, and it was green in an era when the term didn't even exist yet. Waaaay ahead of its time.

On revisiting the film after 30, I realized Dorothy McGuire looked pretty darn good as Hayley's mom. If I ever find myself focusing on Burl Ives' wife, it's all over.

This is one reason I love the humor of Frank Hale! This post ranks right behind the one about the 1930's Japanese actors who'd soon be using their bayonets on Chinese civilians.

I saw some of these beach movies when they were new and had no interest in either seeing or discussing them again. I do have a few words about Ms. Funicello. Being of an age where I was around during the initial run of the Mickey Mouse Club, I can tell you that for a young man entering his teens one of the great pleasures of that show was watching Ms. F get curvier with each new season of the show. She certainly was nice to look at. I will agree though that her talent was quite limited. She came to the MMC shows primarily as a dancer and never was much of a singer or actress. Her recordings were heavily processed with echo and other effects to hide the fact that she was usually only approximately on key. But she always looked nice. That's for sure. I had the chance to see her in person when both she and I were 16 or 17 and she filled out a sweater in quite wonderful ways so I can understand how Gravy likes to look at her. Just don't ask me to watch any of the beach movies, whether she is in them or not.

Certainly your musings are of an ironic nature, although I'm amused at them. Soi, once again, poor choice by me. Sorry. Gravy ... for this thread to go from Beach Movies to Japanese soldiers attacking Chinese civilians, there must be a common demoninator. That would be the word atrocious. The Japanese committed atrocities against human beings. Beach Movies commit atrocities against the human senses. See, simple math!
