Beach Blanket Bingo (DVD)

Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello are back on the beach in Beach Blanket Bingo. Frankie (Avalon) and Dee Dee (Funicello) hit the beach for fun and sun with a supporting cast that includes Paul Lynde (TV's Bewitched, Bye Bye Birdie, Send Me No Flowers), Harvey Lembeck (The Unsinkable Molly Brown, Bikini Beach) and Deborah Walley (Gidget Goes Hawaiian, Spinout) adding to the comic hi jinks. When a publicity stunt to promote the singing career of Sugar Kane (Linda Evans, TV's Dynasty) engineered by her publicist (Paul Lynde) balloons out of control, Frankie, Dee Dee and the gang are pulled into the ensuing comic adventures. Throw in a lovesick biker, Eric Von Zipper (Harvey Lembeck) and a mermaid (Marta Kristen) and Beach Blanket Bingo is pure comic confection. William Asher (TV's I Love Lucy, Bewitched) directs.
