Ski Party ** (1965, Frankie Avalon, Dwayne Hickman, Deborah Walley, Yvonne Craig, Robert Q Lewis) – Classic Movie Review 6220

‘It’s where the HEs meet the SHEs on SKIs and there’s only one way to get warm!’ Director Alan Rafkin’s 1965 musical comedy stars Frankie Avalon, who gets off the beach and takes to the ski slopes for this amusingly silly, air-headed Sixties show.

College buddies Todd and Craig (Frankie Avalon, Dwayne Hickman) get into drag as English girls Jane and Nora to meet girls, learn to ski and find out why gals Linda and Barbara (Deborah Walley and Yvonne Craig) prefer Freddie Carter (Aron Kincaid) to them.

The Hondelles, James Brown (‘I Feel Good’) and Lesley Gore (‘Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows’) appear as themselves. Avalon’s regular screen partner Annette Funicello puts in a guest appearance.
