You have to love the casting in 60's films where all the teenagers were pushing 30 (or in a few cases 40) and all of them looked it. There must have been an audience for these B pictures but even as an actual high school student when this was filmed I knew as did my friends that the actors in the Beach Party films and knock offs like this had nothing in common with us. Who went to parties in jackets and ties? And the plot here: overage basketball team tries to dodge coach to find women; spoiled and father issue "playboy/man" Robert Conrad pursues supposedly underage teenager, Connie Stevens; ugly duckling girl who knows judo finds love with college student Jerry Van Dyke; and Troy Donahue tries to make it with local who happens to be the sheriff's daughter. If you need to watch a flic of this genre you are so much better off with Animal House.
