a swingin' summer (1965)

A typical 60's beach party movie featuring a 'we'll put it on right here' plot. Some clean cut American teens open up a nightclub by a lakeside summer vacation spot and put on some groups for the kids. Includes performances by the Righteous Brothers, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Jody Miller, Donnie Brooks, The Rip Chords and introducing Raquel Welch, in her film debut, playing a glasses wearing bookworm who learns to loosen up and sings "Ready to Groove" in her own inimitable style!
A great example of the genre, with some fab 60's sounds topped off by Raquel Welsh. What more could a red blooded teen in the 60's want, entertaining fluff and well stuffed bikini's go-go dancing to surf music!
