California 1964 AP6420 Costume Annette white bra and skirted panty culotte. Frankie wears white trunks. Martha wears a white with black polka-dots halter and nombril. Annette is TML Frankie is TMLC. N-1. Martha is TML. N-3. Actions Hollywood teen couple Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon prepare to embrace on the Bikini Beach VHS box cover (1). Annette's white with two sizes of black polka-dot bra and panty-cut brief set a base line of exposure--no belly button here, except for Frankie perhaps. The lead brunette's white "bikini" has a similar cut, and shadows suggest the skirted panty (2). But "where the girls are" also includes the wilder blonde, played by Martha Hyer. Her bikini bears the same leopard-style pattern, except it is a real bikini, with string straps suggestive of a halter and a waistline three inches below belly button. Annette may be a nice girl, but Martha the blonde is here to wiggle her lower belly (3). Both girls sport cleavage; the second man wears jams. When the gang isn't at the dragstrip, they are out rumbling (4). Commentary Compare to Beach Blanket Bingo (AP6510). Source Bikini Beach is the third of the American International Pictures beach party movies. Also stars Jody McCrea, Keenan Wynn. Collected from Internet sources, 2001-2002. 4 pictures. |
