Here's a beach movie that didn't have Frankie Avalon or Annette Funicello.
United Artists released "For Those Who Think Young" in 1964. Our ensemble includes James Darren, Nancy Sinatra (papa Frank had gotten the rights to an earlier treatment for the movie), Paul Lynde, Sammee Tong (ex-Bachelor Father), Tina Louise, Bob Denver, Roger Smith (ex-77 Sunset Strip), George Raft, Robert Middleton, and, appearing as himself, Woody Woodbury, who had the enviable task of succeeding Johnny Carson on Who Do You Trust? after Carson left 2 years earlier for The Tonight Show.
We've previously showcased Denver performing "Ho Daddy (Surf's Up)". Now, you've got the whole film.
George O'Hanlon (The Jetsons) co-wrote the script. Just a few months later, Denver & Louise would team again on Gilligan's Island. Paul Lynde began recurring as Uncle Arthur on Bewitched a year later. James Darren contributed to another movie soundtrack in 1964----"Hey There, It's Yogi Bear"!
No rating. Just a public service as we begin what could be a long July 4 weekend for most folks.
