The reviews of this film focus on the 'story' and special effects, but they should be focused on what is the highlight of this masterpiece. Alpha Males pitted against each other, The struggle between the two lead men is masterful. Each want to lead. Each holds the other in contempt for reasons they both know, but which do not come out until near the end of the show. This is an EXCELLENT depiction of the Alpha Male struggle during a crisis. The actors playing the two men never went on to give such powerful performances, and at no point did they over act or even seem to be performing their roles. They OWNED them. WATCH IT.
There are several films in this series (think Bowery Boys) and this is no real better or worse than the others, BUT this one has the weaker music and dance numbers. Like Grease the cast are all adults playing HS kids, but they are all good--especially if you follow them through the series. This is simply good wholesome fun. I like to think of these films as prototypes of the later Elvis films. Freddy's singing is a highlight (as with Elvis) and the story set around the songs is compelling enough to get you through the ONE HOUR runtime. I found the 4 movie series on Amazon Prime, you can too, and then see for yourself the kind of Wholesome, fun entertainment they don't make anymore.
Some have called this the place 'where all the has-beens go', and while there are a lot of classic comedy stars in it, with the exception of Mr. Howell, they have done nothing to be ashamed of in their parts. Surrounded by 6 sexy women these guys are having a ball. Imitation Charlie's Angels--well, yeah. Boobs and babes, what more can you ask? Susan Kiger was robbed, however, her role should have been larger. Still, I understand why the director had to give that role to his WIFE. LOL. Susan is sexy, and coming off her role in the film SEVEN, where she is simply topless eye candy, in this film she has no topless scenes and only a couple of good lines.
