Ski Part...Thanks for this wonderful write-up, Rick! Ski Party has always been my favorite of the "beach party" movies ( even though it isn't a beach party movie )because of it's more wholesome theme. The Some Like it Hot switcher-roo gag is always good for laughs and Leslie Gore's performance of Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows is a real-stand out too.C.R.

Ski Party is really the same, with snow exchanged for sand. Avalon and Hickman are a hoot in drag! They are such fun movies!

Bobbie Shaw, who played the Swedish ski instructor Nita, appeared in several BEACH PARTY movies, too. She became a respected acting coach.

I even got an autograph from him when he was performing at The Bottom Line back when I still lived in NYC! I recently introduced my 15-year-old daughter to Crenshaw's music (her favorite so far is "Our Town" from the album FIELD DAY), and I actually own his book HOLLYWOOD ROCK: A GUIDE TO ROCK & ROLL IN THE MOVIES. I highly recommend it to rock-&-roll fans everywhere! <br /><br />By the way,Crenshaw is still rocking out at concerts across the country, and he's on Twitter, too, as @mcrenshaw.DorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-78680682254600683762012-04-20T14:42:42.152-04:002012-04-20T14:42:42.152-04:00James Brown in that ski sweater is a riot--could h...James Brown in that ski sweater is a riot--could he really "feel good" dancing around in that?

I really enjoyed the "Some Like It Hot" imitation and think that Dwayne Hickman blended in very naturally into the story. It is quite funny watching Frankie trying to get to the Swedish girl's house in the snow. You just know that he will have his intentions dashed. Although Annette makes a very brief appearance, I too missed her and Harvey Lembeck very much. It is such fun seeing Lembeck call people "stupids" and seeing "the finger" used in a very different way than today.
