Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Beach Blanket Bingo
A fun-filled, feel-good film. Frankie and Annette (played by Frankie and Annette) are at the beach house with the rest of the gang for the summer. Unexpectedly, a new flying school pops up nearby and they all want to try it, even Annette (whom Frankie tries to discourage because she's a girl...grr). The two young flight instructors, a young couple, are having a rocky relationship and the girl falls for Frankie. Thus, her boyfriend and Annette begin to form a bond, and a plan, to get their loves back. Eventually, we must assume it works out!
