Muscle Beach Party/Ski Party Reviews

Hey, Jack Fanny
This movie is a classic. Good clean fun. A corny movie to be sure but that's part of its charm.

The array of stars is great - Frankie and Annette (of course), Don Rickles, Buddy Hackett, Morey Amsterdam, etc. This movie is a classic simply because of its age. Even the "kids" in this movie are in their mid-sixties now! (I don't think I would want to see any of them shaking their bottoms on the beach today. Sorry.)

Don't just gloss over the Muscle Boys. There are some real turkeys in there (sorry, Grizzly) but you also have two of the greatest bodybuilders to ever participate in the sport - Chester Yorton and Larry Scott. Each one has over a dozen titles including Mr. America and Mr. Universe. Chet Yorton is one of only three men to beat Arnold Schwarzenegger in competition (1967). It's worth having the movie just to see these guys in their prime.

Last but not least, how cool is the movie debut of Stevie Wonder?! And he's been a star ever since.


Buy this dvd for Ski Party...
I bought this double-sided dvd just to get Ski Party. Until this dvd was released, Ski Party was not available on home video. For years, I had a vague memory of seeing a movie as a kid (on my parents' black and white tv set) that included a scene with a bunch of college students on a bus singing a song. I tried to hunt down the movie and eventually learned it was Ski Party. I then learned it wasn't available on home video...until now! So I bought this dvd basically to get Leslie Gore singing "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows". But to my delight, I discovered that Ski Party contains two other outstanding musical numbers:

a) I Feel Good - James Brown
b) The Gasser - The Hondells

Every so often I pop the dvd into my player and just watch the above three songs. But the dvd would have been worth it just for the Leslie Gore number alone.
