- TriviaWhen filming began on this movie in late-summer 1965, Tommy Kirk was on probation with Walt Disney Studios after an arrest for marijuana possession on Christmas Eve 1964. Although later cleared by the District Attorney's office, he was immediately replaced after the arrest by Michael Anderson Jr. for the role of the youngest son in the John Wayne movie The Sons of Katie Elder (1965), for which principal shooting was to begin January 4, 1965. Newspapers of March 20, 1965, reported that Kirk had signed a five-year contract with American-International Pictures and on June 3, although details were not given, newspapers reports about Kirk stated that "His recent bout with the police in a mid-west city didn't do his clean cut kid image any good and his career with the Disney films seems over."
- GoofsThe band playing on the yacht later in the film is obviously miming: the drummer is playing nothing even remotely similar to what is heard.
- Quotes
Charlie Moss: You shoulda seen him comin' up the coast. I don't think they sell bikinis in Arizona.
Don: Oh, they sell 'em. But, I've never seen so many trying to cover so much with so little success.

Featured review
You'd have to be out of your mind or detached from all common sense to find some redeeming value in this clunker. The plot seems to concern guys, girls, sand, a scroll and Mork & Mindy's Exidor doing pratfalls. Oh, and there are musical numbers, many musical numbers. These elements are strung together very loosely to form some sort of plot, but what's there on screen will make you scratch your head. Little Richard pops up and sings a catchy little dittie and shows everyone else involved what talent is. Best part of the film is when all the girls slap all of the guys and storm off. The next scene is a musical number and then everything is forgotten! Oh to be young and foolish and working on a beach picture. Mary Wells sings the title song "Never Steal Anything Wet."
