Theatrical trailer for one the most iconic films of the early 1960s, BEACH PARTY, starring Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. Between August, 1963 and April, 1965, independent studio American-International, released four of these profitable films: BEACH PARTY, MUSCLE BEACH PARTY, BIKINI BEACH and BEACH BLANKET BINGO. Following the surfing craze of the 1960s, and incorpiorating such then-current fads as body building, drag racing and sky diving, these inexpensive films starred two unlikely "surfers", former teen ideol Frankie Avalon and ex-Mouseketeer, Annette Funicello. Inane, paper thin plots with broad comedy strokes -- peppered with music from not only the two stars but such artists as surf guitar legend Dick Dale, Little Steve Wonder, The Pyramids and The Hondells -- and casts featuring such veteran performers as Bob Cummings, Dorothy Malone, Buster Keaton and Paul Lynde -- made the trips to this never-neverland beaches (often filmed at Paradise Cove, California) of this popular films an enjoyable hour and a half for millions of moviegoers. Additional entries in the series were made with cast and local changes -- SKI PARTY, PAJAMA PARTY and HOW TO STUFF A WILD BIKINI, but none captured the magic or were as popular as the four films starring Avalon and Funicello.

Theatrical trailer for an overlooked "gem" of 1950s science-fiction films, THE MAGNETIC MONSTER, starring Richard Carlson, King Donovan and Jean Byron. Produced by Ivan Tors and written/directed by Curt (DONOVAN'S BRAIN) Siodmak, this inexpensive programmer followed two members of the fictional Office of Scientific Investigation -- referred to a A (for atomic) men as they battle a newly created radioactive isotope that perpetuates and enlarges itself by absorbing energy. Told in much the psuedo-docu/drama style of Tor's successful, SCIENCE-FICTION THEATRE television series, the film is a refreshing departure from stereotypical humanoid aliens in green nose putty that graced so many of the decades early film and television genre entries. An earnest cast, headed by Richard Carlson -- the iconic embodiment of the 1950s scientist/hero -- and King (INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS) Donovan didn't hurt either. And, yes, the film's conclusion is built largely around spectacular stock footage from the silent German film, GOLD, but effectively well-matched to the newly filmed scenes.
