CATALINA CAPER
(a.k.a. NEVER STEAL ANYTHING WET) 1967
U.S. film. One of the last movies in the "Beach Party" genre. Catalina Caper is a sun-drenched, rock-and-roll-fueled beach party with a side of crime caper zaniness! Set on the beautiful shores of Catalina Island, the film follows fun-loving teens who get tangled up in an art heist involving a stolen ancient scroll.
Our hero, Don Pringle (Tommy Kirk), and his pals just want to dig the surf, sand, and swinging music, but when they stumble upon a group of bumbling thieves, they find themselves caught in a wacky adventure full of slapstick chases, sneaky schemes, and nonstop fun in the sun.
What really makes Catalina Caper a blast is its explosion of 1960s youth culture; surfboards, go-go dancing, and a killer rock 'n' roll soundtrack featuring none other than Little Richard belting out Scuba Party! The whole film is packed with carefree, high-energy fun, mixing slapstick comedy with the beach party movie vibes.
Little Richard, The Cascades, Mary Wells, Carol Connors (from the "Teddy Bears"). Superb mid-sixties fashions and 1960s rock and roll. Cool LA surf scene and groovy, hip lingo! Tommy Kirk, Del Moore, Peter Duryea, Robert Donner, Ulla Stromstedt, Venita Wolf, Peter Mamakos, Lyle Waggoner, Sue Casey. Catalina Caper!
Bonus Selection: Music Scene performances.
