If you enjoy this, then you are in a rare group of people.....I saw every Frankie & Annette Beach Movies when I was 13 yrs old and loved them!!! I always thought when I was 18, I would meet a great group of teens like this and we would spend a week at the beach like this and find young love, dance, enjoy the beach, and make wonderful memories!!!! Long for days and times like this when love was innocent and it was a different world than today....
I said the same thing, to some friends a few years back. I too went and watched all these movies... and hoped, that when I got older, I would find a group of friends and hit the beach with them, and have similar experiences. Never did.... no one was into it, in my day. I did take a number of young women to the beach with me and walk along in the moonlight... at least that part came true.
The best song out of all the movies ever! I am so greatful that mom raised me on these movies and such. even though my friends from my age group think I'm a bit....don't know the word because they haven't come up with one but I don't care. Oh and I'm 26.
The title, "America's Sweetheart" isn't given out lightly...She really was America's Sweetheart... Sweet, talented, pretty... and evidently, one of the nicest people ever...
RIP 2 surfers-turned-actors who were in the Frankie & Annette Beach Party movies. ED GARNER (passed on Mar 5) and JOHNNY FAIN (passed on Mar 9). Both Garner & Fain were plucked off Malibu beach by Director William Asher to do surfing stunts and provide atmosphere for Beach Party (1963) the very first of the Frankie & Annette flicks. As the beach movies became wildly popular, a core group of surfers and bikini-clad starlets emerged as audience favorites. American-International signed them to contracts and began promoting them as the 'beach party gang'. Ed Garner and Johnny Fain were part of the gang, along with Salli Sachse, Patti Chandler, Mary Hughes, Linda Opie and Michael Nader (who would one day star in Dynasty). The 'beach party gang' didn't just appear in the films; AIP would also send them out on promotional tours. Kitschy movie ads heralded: 'the beach party gang goes drag racing' or 'the beach party gang goes sky diving'. Garner and Fain were in Beach Party, Muscle Beach Party, Bikini Beach, Pajama Party, Beach Blanket Bingo, Ski Party, How to Stuff A Wild Bikini and The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (Garner only). Thank you ED GARNER and JOHNNY FAIN for bringing the myth of a sun-drenched California surfing paradise to all us kids who grew up with these movies.

This was one of if not the best song out of all of the Beach Movies they made. Us older people will always say. They just don't make them like they use to. Funny how parents back in these days worried about us youth watching these movies and how it may corrupt us. Now days with all the sex, violence and cursing all to many parents just don't care what the kids watch. They even take them to some the kids could not see alone due to ratings. Yeah, times have changed.
I’m thirteen and I absolutely adore these movies. I would kill and be killed to experience a summer romance or just any romance like this. Both are beautiful talented actors in a beautiful movie
Happy 80th Birthday Frankie! You and Annette were such a beautiful couple! I have seen all your films and like them all. Even more so today because all we have now is junk. I never thought I would say this but I long for films like yours and Annette's.
I watched this movie with my grandkids a while ago & they loved this song! Glad I found it!!! Wait til they find out I found it!!! They have no idea!!! I will have them over the weekend!!! They are 6 & 9yrs old. I love to show them movies like this!!! Thanks for the memories!!!
That is sweet Sarah, it is wonderful that you have those memories - it is a nice compliment to your father looking after you and your family from Above. Peace be with you, Ciao, L
If not a better world back then, it certainly was a better culture...can you imagine two young celebrities today doing a song like this???? Sweetness and sentiment are long dead in this sewer of a culture which exists now....
I’m glad to have found this on here! I’m a 90s baby & I grew up watching these movies with my grandma. She passed away a little over a year ago. We used to have movie nights while drinking hot coco & eating cinnamon toast when were little. When it was my turn to pick a movie these movies were the ones that I would pick out almost all the time. This brings back so many good memories😊
Stephanie Russell You got that right!!!! I stopped going to the movies years ago since there is too much garbage out there that tries to be "entertainment" and these new movies are anything but that!! I just LOVE this song and seeing Annette and Frankie together along the beach. GREAT songs and cast in the movie, too, along with a fun plot. Sad to say that Hollywood will never make films like this again but after 50 years, these beach party movies still shine and give all of us so many cherished memories of a much simpler time in our lives.
Just watched this movie after more years than I care to admit. So, I came on hoping someone posted this up to share it with some family and recall it to their memories. Thanks for posting this up.👍
I'm watching this movie for the 1st time and this song & performance stands out for me. I'm a songwriter and musician and this is done so well. I prefer this version to the studio version. I absolutely love it.
If I were Frankie in their movies...I would have not looked at the other girls and grabbed Annette and held on with all the love I had...no matter what the script said LOL
Frankie Avalon just did an interview. he stated that they did date. But moved on and remained friends.until her death,he also said he is the godfather to her son.
They're so cute together :3 And I love Annette's huge hair-do! It reminds me of how Julie Roberts' character in "Steel Magnolias" describes her mother's hair: a brown football helmet. I love it xDD
I would love to a c.d. with all these songs on it. there is no way you can't listen to the songs from the beach movies and not feel good & try to sing along.
AHHH! I love them, I took this stupid quiz because i was very bored, and my teen angels were Frankie and Annette, then I took this other quiz and it said that my 1950s/60s husband was Frankie haha! Makes sense! Haha. I want to meet him, I invited him to my sweet 16 last year, but he didn't come.. it was still fun though!
each Blanket Bingo was the best of the series for sure.....dunno if they had more money or what but the music,acting and stars made it. Sadly it went downhill after that....
@totalronnie There really AREN'T movies like this, which is too bad... Either there is no singing at all, or they are specifically musicals ('a play built around music' as opposed to 'a movie that's not ABOUT music, but has some in it')
If only they would clean up "Glee" a little, get the actors to keep their pants on, and maybe sing some less tawdry songs... then wed be getting somewhere!
2024 and still enjoying this ❤

Very well-said and thanks for sharing your touching thoughts.
Love them
Your description is very relatable.

Baby Boom Americans of all backgrounds loved the Beach Movies.

So you saw them on dvd?

Annette is gorgeous!! Love that green dress she is wearing.
When I was a teen in the 60's I dreamed I was Frankie so I could kiss Annette. After all these years I'm still in love with her.
I love u for that beautiful comment

just precious.
Such sweet innocence. A great tune. Two good looking and vocally talented performers.
I loved those beach movies,, still do!!
+Ann Fischer Me too Ann Fischer!! Doesnt make you feel young at heart again and want to live those days again??
@@TheAslterp Sadly they are gone forever to be only cherished in the hearts of those who lived thru it!!
My dad and i watched these when i was little and i loved the music. I wish my dad was still around
That is sweet Sarah, it is wonderful that you have those memories - it is a nice compliment to your father looking after you and your family from Above. Peace be with you, Ciao, L
Such a special time & great memories. I loved Annette & Frankie together. I still can't believe she's no longer with us.
Clever duet by Frankie and Annette. I remember seeing Frankie Avalon live on stage years ago. Great performer. Thanks for sharing.
True friendship and so true love! Amazing emotions! Great actors!
:) these actors are absolutely cute and simply irresistible :D
If not a better world back then, it certainly was a better culture...can you imagine two young celebrities today doing a song like this???? Sweetness and sentiment are long dead in this sewer of a culture which exists now....
I grew up with this movies and music. My heart feels joyful every time I hear it.
Cute song,cute people,cute video...the best TV / movie chemistry couple ever!
I totally love these movies
I’m glad to have found this on here! I’m a 90s baby & I grew up watching these movies with my grandma. She passed away a little over a year ago.

I love this song
Annette: May you dance through heaven.......& thank you for your part in the 60's beach movies
she was italian alright.
Wonderful movies thanks.
Just a beautiful song
Love this movie... They don't make them like this anymore

Long for those days again!!!
+Doug Celeste My sentiments exactly Doug!!!!
Man I luv this song
RIP Annette Funicello.
Just watched this movie after more years than I care to admit. So, I came on hoping someone posted this up to share it with some family and recall it to their memories.
Thanks for posting this up.👍
i love this movie
Perfect romantic duet
I'm watching this movie for the 1st time and this song & performance stands out for me. I'm a songwriter and musician and this is done so well. I prefer this version to the studio version. I absolutely love it.
If I were Frankie in their movies...I would have not looked at the other girls and grabbed Annette and held on with all the love I had...no matter what the script said LOL
The art of walking without actually going anywhwere😂
If only Love was this simple.
So glad I got to see this when it happened :)
Before my time. But love it.
I love them both ,they sure can sing so good ,what a great couple ,Love 💖
So sweet! 😊
Thank you!!! I will watch it. Young glam mom with MS. 50yrs young looking like 30s!!!!
Sometimes I wonder if there was something between them that we'll never know about.
R.I.P Annette. You will never be forgotten.
Did you check out her.....?
Frankie and Annette dated prior to doing the films, but that's it. Both were family oriented, and "hanky panky" was not something they would consider.
Frankie Avalon just did an interview. he stated that they did date. But moved on and remained friends.until her death,he also said he is the godfather to her son.
They're so cute together :3 And I love Annette's huge hair-do! It reminds me of how Julie Roberts' character in "Steel Magnolias" describes her mother's hair: a brown football helmet. I love it xDD
I love my oldies it brings back precious memories of my 1st love I had in Burma kyaw aye he's always in my heart
I would love to a c.d. with all these songs on it. there is no way you can't listen to the songs from the beach movies and not feel good & try to sing along.
Always LOVED this duet as a young boy .Wanted to sing it to a girl and then other girls ....but they did not like me😰.
I love ❤ Frankie Avalon😍
Loved this scene more than any other. I miss her letters, her cards, Christmas cards from her & Glen.. Most of all I miss Annie...💔
Did you know Annette funicello and her second husband, Glen Holt personally? From Ms. Harper Stacey.
RIP Annette. You were a great tallet. You will be missed
AHHH! I love them, I took this stupid quiz because i was very bored, and my teen angels were Frankie and Annette, then I took this other quiz and it said that my 1950s/60s husband was Frankie haha! Makes sense! Haha. I want to meet him, I invited him to my sweet 16 last year, but he didn't come.. it was still fun though!
Perfect.
thank you mister Tony !
that´s is a great gift for we...tnhak´s !
paulo boccato from Brazil
Just so beautiful listen to and I love it
each Blanket Bingo was the best of the series for sure.....dunno if they had more money or what but the music,acting and stars made it. Sadly it went downhill after that....
Very charming--really!
This song is from Beach blanket bingo, generally considered to be the best of the genre.
R.I.P. Annette!
SWEET!!!!
Thanks!!!!
Adorable and should have been a Duet single for them, but they recorded for different record labels ~
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I STILL GET CHILLS
The perfect ..surfter girl,wow
Weren’t they adorable!?
Tee Tarquin yes
Love this!
This song was covered by the great Ms. Donna Loren!
I had to look up contrapuntal, whose definition is exactly it’s connotation, counterpoint.
They are standing in front of a screen with the ocean in the background. Still a good beach song regardless.
Boas recordações de uma música atemporal.
❤💫
Well way to go on the color
The beach films were always in color
Would it have been that hard to film the actors actually walking down a beach?
Yes, especially with 1965 lenses and film stock. Most low budget movies had to shoot "day for night" (using filters) or shoot on a soundstage.
Sensacional
Lobot-o-may!
You're welcome
That was the way to make a movie and SING. I HATE todays trash.
@totalronnie There really AREN'T movies like this, which is too bad... Either there is no singing at all, or they are specifically musicals ('a play built around music' as opposed to 'a movie that's not ABOUT music, but has some in it')
different times....sad to say
Love it, but I can't help but laugh at what they wore for a stroll on the beach. Hope Annette had her pedal pushers on!
Actually the scene before they were on a date at a club having dinner and listening to live entertainment, and then went for a stroll afterwards
There isn't much chance of leaving footprints in the sand on the soundstage.
If only they would clean up "Glee" a little, get the actors to keep their pants on, and maybe sing some less tawdry songs... then wed be getting somewhere!
I had to sign this duet w/ a dude in sign language class lmao
What's a contrapuntal?
Their families are going to prison for paying Kid Rock to kill me and you're going too
@ChicaLoo37 Try NetFlix
Are Italian American girls THE hottest or what? LOL...
Ruthie Kumar I read that's why Annette was the most popular mousekateer because she was Italian
...
l
Contrtraputal, lol.....
A very attractive couple who simply couldn't sing not good to listen to but good to look at
SHES A 10 IN EVERY SENSE...
ain't it cool they are NOT even on a beach!! such good times in film
Rear screen projection keeps the wind on the beach from messing up that perfect do.
