SUMMER CHILDREN 1965
U.S. film. Excellent quality. 16:9 widescreen. Featuring rock & surf group, The Deacons. Long thought lost, this 1965 youth culture film was never released due to budget problems. Summer Children depicts the other side of the Frankie & Annette Beach Party movies by showing a more realistic picture of the 1965 southern California, teenage pop culture scene; namely, free love.

The film centers on West, and old-fashion romantic who has a hard time getting his head around the new social mores of the swinging 60s—free love and non-commitment. There is Franky, a daredevil motorcycle racer who already has a girlfriend but has no problems adjusting to the new scene—he wants to "make it" with all the chicks.

Then there is Diana who comes off as an a aloof beatnik-type delivering clever lines like; "looking up to people is a pain in the neck." At first Diana treats Franky with disgust but soon is attracted to both West and Franky. This proves difficult for West to deal with as he realizes that nice guys finish last while the jerky guys get all the chicks. There are some nude scenes...it's not your average 60s teenage beach film!

Cool swinging scenes at the "Honey Hut" hangout where all the kids shake their butts to the sounds of rock and roll group, The Deacons. Songs include: "Summer Children," "Here, There or Anywhere," "Not So Wisely But So Well," " Paradise," "Lost," "Devastation," "Little Orphan Annie," "Crazy Love."

Watching this film is the equivalent to listening to a cool garage band 45. Terrific scenes of drinking booze and partying on a yacht. The girls sport super-thick false eyelashes, teeny bikinis and sun-tanned bodies. Stuart Anderson, Valora Noland, John Hanek, Sandy Gabriel, Steve Bobbitt, David Arkin, Alison Julian, Frank Luther, The Deacons. Summer Children!
