Would it be bad to admit I own this on DVD?
nope! I wish I did.
My next DVD purchases must be:
Beach Party
Muscle Beach Party
Bikini Beach
Beach Blanket Bingo
How to Stuff a Wild Bikini
AND Pajama Party and Ski Party, for good measure.

Also add Psycho Beach Party - just for grins and giggles.
well I own that one already. :)
My issue with the DVD (and recent TCM airings) of Beach Blanket Bingo, is that it's missing one of Annette's numbers. When I contacted them about it, I was told that the number was never in the film. Having seen BBB, many times in a movie theater, I know them for the liars that they are!
"I'll Never Change Him" was cut from the theatrical print, but appears in some tv prints.
It was used in Ski Party performed by Deborah Walley (which was shot at around the same time) The producers thought the number was best utlized in that movie. So it was cut from BBB.
Annette's version used to be on that site we can't mention- but I can't find it anymore.
The song "Fly Boy" in BBB is nearly the same orchestration as "I'll Never Change Him."
My point is that I've only ever seen BBB during its original release, and I saw the film 7 times. "I'll Never Change Him" was always in the film. I can tell you exactly where it appears in the film, and I've never seen it on television, other than on TCM, where they show the edited version It was my favorite number. I don't understand the explanation that it was cut from the theatrical print, when that's what I was watching. Besides, even if that were true (which it isn't), why not include it on the DVD release, anyway?
