Trivia
Lorelei's tail was made of fiberglass and latex. During Lorelei's close-ups, Marta Kristen would wear a costume belt to allow her to use her legs for swimming whenever her character is only seen waist up.

Goofs
Frankie and Dee Dee free-fall their first time sky-diving. In real life, the first time people sky-dive, their parachutes are set to open automatically when they jump from the plane -- this is because some people faint their first time sky-diving. And if they are unconscious, they can't open their chutes, and they will crash into the ground.

Quotes
Frankie: [looking at Miss Sugar Kane in a bikini.] Now that's what I call a healthy girl!

Alternate versions
One musical monologue number of Annette Funicello singing "I'll Never Change Him" was cut from the original theatrical print but appears in some prints that air on cable TV.

The Best Of The Beach

All of the seven, count 'em, seven beach movies are really silly and poorly acted. However, they are great fun to watch. This is the best of the lot, featuring a pre-"Big Valley" and "Dynasty" Linda Evans as pop princess Sugar Cane. Paul Lynde is a scream here, with his trademark slow burn. Watch him as he insults Eric Von Zipper, who's too stupid to realize it. Don Rickles is also good during a scene where he takes the mike and rips into the kids. There is so much zaniness going on here, much more than the movies that came before or after it in this series.
