| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about It's a Bikini World |
|---|
This film was shot in 1967. It is your typical beach movie, with maybe a small twist. Tommy Kirk plays Mike, a cocky beach bum who thinks he can win at anything he tries. Deborah Walley is Delilah, the girl he likes, but who despises him. He comes up with a scheme to disguise himself as Herbert, Mike's "brother." He dresses up with huge thick frame glasses and smoking jackets instead of beach attire. Like Lois Lane, Delilah blindly cannot see through the glasses disguise. So she finds herself falling for him. And in the meantime, she keeps running into Mike, who she feels like she has to put in his place. She challenges him to a number of contests, including skateboarding, in order to prove he can be beat. For some reason Herbert is never around when these contests happen. Ultimately she finds out his ruse and challenges him to one more contest.
