Review of Pajama Party (1964) by Allan C — 23 May 2014

Another Beach Party movie like "Ski Party" that's not quite really a Beach Party film, but is pretty close. In "Ski Party" Annette was gone from the film outside of a cameo and on this film it's Frankie who only briefly makes an appearance.

Also, like "Ski Party" the beach does not figure into this film, though there is still a lot of bikinis for the various pool party scenes. Tommy Kirk fill's Frankie's role as the male lead, but he's playing a martian teenager who's been sent to earch to prepare for a martian invasion.

Series regulars Jody McCrea, Buster Keaton, Don Rickles and Harvey Lembeck as Eric Von Zipper all appear in the film. Dorothy Lamour has a small role and if you watch the background dancers, you can see a very young Teri Garr and Toni Basil.

Although it's hard to differentiate the Frankie and Annette Beach Party films, this one seemed the weakest, probably because of no memorable songs and the lack of beach.
