@Halo101st Unfortunately,noone saw him and his cronies for what they are before the election like we did.I just hope the damage of these communists isnt to bad to redo and fix.I live in the midwest aswell and I have a hard time finding anyone that voted for these miserable tyrants.Except of cource the herds of sheeple in the major cities.I just shake my head everyday and pray for the America we once had.If it aint to late.

@walleyrt69 Just remember to vote! Encourage everyone you know to vote these liberal left-wingers out of office in November. Then, do it again in 2012. These warmed-over ’60’s liberals/hippies have run their course and America sees them for what they truly are… losers and anti-Americans.

@walleyrt69 I teach at a major university and, unfortunately, I do not see the trend changing. To return to being wholesome is to return to taking responsibility and discipline for one’s self. Todays kids want none of that, they want someone else to everything for them because they are lazy, arrive to college semi-educated, and feel entitled to that which we were proud to work for and earn. They are such a sad lot.

@Halo101st That is a wonderful comment and how true you are.Women singers and actresses can learn alot about having (class & grace )and how to cut out the smut and not look like whores.What todays youth need are good roll models,Forget the Brittany Spears types and look at the Taylor Swifts of this generation.God bless the old days.i just hope its not to late to turn things around.

I read someplace that a guy said people come to the beach expecting it to be like the beach movies. The “Summer Nights” song in Grease was filmed near where the beach movies were filmed. IMDB We would go see it at the drive in back in Iowa. Dad had it for Annette. Sadly the drive in is now a car lot.. We still have a drive in theater operating West of this twon in SW Ohio.

Thank you for the reply. I thought as much as you appear very knowledgeable about them. Annette is a sweetheart, isn’t she?

I’m an avid fan of Annette’s, of the beach movies, and all of American International Pictures’ pre 1967 movies.

Sandy,
I cannot help but be curious as to whether you actually had anything to do with the making of the “Beach” movies, were in the films themselves, or are a knowledgeable film buff and avid fan of Annettes? Which would it be?

Annette did have a fabulous little body, didn’t she? She personified the girls of my era (Annette is four months older than me) and is a wonderful representative for that era called “The Fabulous Fifties,” and it was fabulous.

The girls today can learn a lot from her about being a complete woman. She is the quintessential opposite of today’s young woman, and how sad that is, too.

Yes indeed … hopefully she’ll be around for quite a few more years to come (not sure if that’s the right thing to hope for given her situation, but I don’t imagine she’s one to give-up).

Your welcome Anonyms404. Dick Clark said that boys loved her and girls wanted to be her. I guess you & I are proof of that.

Thanks for sharing Sandy… I suppose if they were freezing during the making of it – that probably answers my question! (makes sense to film on days most people wouldn’t be at the beach I guess).

That’s so sad about Annette …they did a special about her life and had a quick cameo of her recently and I didn’t even recognize her. Good gracious …wish there was a cure for m.s. I had such a crush on her when I was a kid. Such a sweet woman.

I’ve never asked them if the films were fun to make. Annette said they would film during the winter months for a summer release. She said she froze to death. Annette also said that the beach sand was a turn off. One of the owners of American International Studios, James Nicholson, came up with most of the titles of the movies. Then songs were were written into the movies. My sense is that Annette is not doing well.

That’s so cool … I’m sure the question they’ve gotten “were the films as much fun to make as they appear?” …just curious if they’ve ever mentioned anything like that. (Also – word was that that the songwriters you mentioned wrote the title song and the film makers built the movie around it – came up with the script, stars, etc.etc. – any truth there?). Of course here’s the MOST important question: Any word on how Annette’s doing? (Frankie supposedly get’s asked this every day).

Anonyms404 – I didn’t know Mary, but I have talked to several people in these movies. Annette being one, the songwriters Guy Hemric & Jerry Styner, surfer girl Salli Sachse & Linda Opie, and Aron Kincaid.

Sandy – you just into the trivia of these films – or did you know her?
