Amazing that Disney forgot to trademark "Roy", given at least two Disney family members and executives had that name.

And don't forget Best Mohawked Dude singing about Jamaica Sky Oscar! I was humming that song 1.4895 seconds after clicking this link. love that damn song! And have some Skippy Peanut butter!

Ska, not Sky.

 

[Colin Jacobson]

I have no idea if the grain is correct or real

Damn. Kinda hoped for your thoughts, as the image looks awfully smoothed out to me a lot of the time.

Not quite "clay complexions" but awfully shiny.

What was 'creepy' about Roy? Unless you're privy to some information no one else is I think another adjective might be more charitable.

Agreed. Citerion should do a boxed set of the originals. Add an Elvis set too.

Sorry, I only saw TMMC in reruns (as I hadn't been been borned yet when it was on first-run TV). The first time it aired on the 70s in syndication, I missed the opening cast introductions and assumed Roy was Uncle Fester

from the Addams Family. All of whom were Creepy, Kooky, or altogether Ooky ... Irregardless all was in Jest ...

Thank you for this. I was a little worried that we would not get it after the moderators were forced to close the controversial "While we wait for 'A few words about ... ™ Back to the Beach on Blu-ray'" thread a few months ago due to the cineastes all fighting about whether certain sequences were shot on Eastmancolor 5295 or 5297.

The Mods insist that references to various Eastman stocks be correct. They allow aspect ratios to slide a bit, but stocks…

...and Bonds, James Bonds

 

[Kent K H]

Of course, anyone who's seen Dr. Goldfoot knows Frankie could have been Bond.

I thought BACK TO THE BEACH was nominated for five Oscars, not four. In addition to the usual categories, there was also excellence in surf wrangling.

Btw, Frankie Avalon's performance was definitely echt Noir, especially when he smiled and showed his capped teeth.

For the life of me i can't find any Academy Award nominations for Back To The Beach. Am I missing something?

The punchline.

I'm kinda surprised he wasn't a spokesmodel for ...

Sea-Bond denture adhesive ...

I'm referring to the last line of Mr. Harris' "few words':

Tremendously entertaining - nominated for four Academy Awards, Back to the Beach is one of those treasures that one will want to pass down from generation to generation, warranting that special spot in the Paramount Presents pantheon.

 

[Tony Bensley]

the toupee seperates from Frankie, goes to France and starts his own winery!!

Please forgive me if this has already been "covered," but wouldn't "Venus" make more sense?

Frankie's Toupee goes to Venus to cover up her bald spot! The question is "Which One?"

CHEERS!

Roy, b. 1907, was a long-time Disney sketch artist, and helped put together the first class of kids.

Until 1987 Roy had invested in his own bridge to live under. Making quite a nice living scaring the populus, and was the inspiration for Shrek!!!
