Beach Blanket Bingo

[lodestar 0]

Happened on that old film Beach Blanket Bingo, I'd forgotten the skydiving theme to it, it was funny and interesting to see those old rigs being used, Looked like a lot of old 28' TU conversions with striped canopies being used to go with the red and white striped 182 they used for a jump plane.
Several inconsistencies in filming, ripcord handles jumping from left side to right side in the same scene, jumpers entering and exiting the aircraft on the left side, at one point you could see the left wing had been removed to facilitate filming...
My guess would be Elsinore as a DZ, there was a nice twin Beech in the background on several shots.
Dies anyone have memories of that filming and who was in it, the credits were non existent so I've got no idea who may have been involved both in acting and filming.
Some interesting sequences using hula hoops and passing oranges or balls back and forth, in all a wonderful look at the early days of the sport.
Gotta love the bikers as well..."The Rats"....with a motley gathering or rat bikes including Honda, Harleys and one Triumph as far as I could tell...
I'm left with the puzzling question of why I had such a crush on Annette Funichello....it must have been the "helmet hair" or something....maybe when she was a Mousketeer and slightly adorable....oh well....

If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

Annette even wore a two piece bathing suit in the movie

A very large two piece suit, I think the only cleavage Annette was showing was between her toes.

I kind of like the blonde, myself.
I think there's even a bit of parachute showing on the left side of that poster.

Hi Mr T

Big Drop jumpsuits? Looks like a std pioneer double zipper jumpsuit .

I remember the bathing suit the bikers, the twist, buster keaton etc but completely spaced out the jumping stuff.

1965 was a very busy time for a lot of folks thats not reflected in the movie. I din't get to make my first jump until 3 yr's later. Thats my excuse and I'm sticking with it.
