What happens

Wild on the Beach is a 1965 American beach party film directed by Maury Dexter and starring Frankie Randall, Sherry Jackson, Gayle Caldwell, and Jackie Miller. It was written by Harry Spalding based on a story by Hank Tani. It is notable for the musical acts showcased onscreen, including the film debut of Sonny & Cher. It is one of the few films in the genre to be filmed in black and white. Although some sources state that the film was also released under the title Beach House Party, to date no prints or posters have surfaced with such a title. The RCA single "Yellow Haired Woman," by Frankie Randall (RCA Victor – 45-8587) refers to the movie being titled "Wild Beach Weekend." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
