    More like Beach Farty. Cummings is the only redeeming quality. I did the surfing effects in my basement.

    I guess it was a super popular movie back in their time....but I hardly find it a classic. I actually watched the whole thing...I was shocked they openly talked about sex in those movies!! HA HA!
