 Great Fun January 27, 2008

Annette, Frankie, Linda Evans, Marta Kristen. All so young and fresh faced. Isnt it a shame we all have to age. This isn't Shakespeare but who cares? For its genre I give it 5 stars.
It's A Big Beach Blanket Bingo And Your Invited To Watch August 9, 2005
Chris (Leeds, Utah United States)
Frankie Avalona nd Annette Funicello oare back again, in Beach Blanket Bingo. With a huge cast of comedy legends including Don Rickles and Buster Keaton, this surfin' sandfest is a deffinate winner. Frankie (Avalon) and Dee Dee (Funicello) are riding high on romance once again, until the singing sensation Sugar Kane (Linda Heavens) falls from the sky into Frankies arms! Not to be outdone by her fello flying friends, Dee Dee signs up for skydiving lessions with the guys. But when the beautifl instructor (Deborah Walley) makes Frankie her after and before school sweetheart, he must prove his devotion to Dee Dee with a death-defying free fall, and a summer of love that she will never forget. This is a fantastic beach movie that also stars Harvey Lembeck, John Ashley, Jody McCrea, Donna Loren, Marta Kristen, Linda Evans, Don RIckles, Paul Lynde, Buster Keaton, Earl Wilson, and Bobbie Shaw. So have some fun tonight, and watch Beach Blanket Bingo.
I'd change it-a little June 1, 2005

This is my favorite of the beach movie serious. My little boy and I have a blast watching the movies and singing. You definitely don't need to be an early baby boomer to enjoy these movies. My disappointment is that the song "I'll Never Change Him" is missing. It is the underlying theme music throughout the entire movie, but we never get to hear Annette sing it. I originally taped the movie off of AMC a few years back, and I was so disappointed when this song was missing from the DVD. From the other posts, I understand that this song was cut from the theatrical release, but if AMC can show it, why can't it be on the DVD? Worth the video quality, even with the missing song...
Missing Dialog February 4, 2005

It's nice having this movie on DVD, but very disappointing that they botched up the dialog track in one spot. At about 107:46 3 of the characters lips move but there is no voice:
Earl Wilson: I thought this place only allowed humans.
Lorelei: who are they?
Bone head: they're the Peace Corps rejects.
I had to go back to my laser disc copy to get the missing dialog. There are subtitles on the DVD but only in Spanish & French.
Frankie Avalon's Best Movie May 1, 2004

A Good movie and the Best scenes are Frankie Avalon singing the theme song and the romantic song "These Are The Good Times" in the movie a song he later sang in a episode of "The Patty Duke Show".
