Troy Donahue(Surfside Six), Ty Hardin(Bronco), and Robert Conrad (Hawaiian Eye), are all on spring break and bound for that favorite west coast location, Palm Springs. While there Donahue gets involved with Stefanie Powers the police chief's daughter and Hardin and Conrad get to fight over Connie Stevens who's lying about her age. She's borderline jailbait, but looks old.
In that department Connie was the most ludicrous, but the notion that these guys were all students of some kind is beyond belief. All of them were past 25 at this point, they must have felt ridiculous. But the stars of 90210 didn't look much like high school kids so nothing's really changed.
But romance was in the air in Palm Springs Weekend, even Jack Weston the college basketball coach gets to have a fling with hotel owner Carole Cook. Best in the film is Jerry Van Dyke who supplies some needed comic relief and plays a mean banjo.
Still the film really hasn't worn well over the decades. But it's pleasant enough entertainment. Troy Donahue gets to sing over the title credits. That was a mistake.
The film packs a mighty punch with lots of lips a smacking and fists a flying as the boys and girls at the Palm Springs Hotel are there for a good time and not a long time while on a weeks vacation school break. There are new romances for some of the older generation as well as some of the first teenage loves. Heck there is even an attractive tom boy named Amanda North (played by Zeme North) who while babysitting the hotel owners son Boom Boom Yates (Bill Mumy) she has achieved a black belt in the art of Jiu Jitsu and uses her martial arts skills to put some unorthodox moves on her love interest Biff Roberts (Jerry Van Dyke).
This beach blanket hipster is the original fun loving film which preceded the latter and more successful 1965 Beach Blanket Bingo and other beach related films. It may be old and the (then) young film stars such as Ty Hardin, Troy Donahue, and Robert Conrad have now passed away but their youthful images live on in campy classics such as Palm Springs Weekend.
I give the film a respectable 6 out of 10 IMDb rating.
And so I did. I have worked in film and video most of my career and I always tell people this was the film that first gave me the notion.
During my career I have been fortunate to meet two of the people involved with this film, Connie Stevens and Earl Hamner Jr (the man who wrote this film) When I met with Hamner over lunch, it was to talk about his classic television show The Waltons, but his eyes lit up when I asked him about PSW. He told me several stories and we had a good laugh. A very special memory.
I too would like to see this film released on DVD. It really captures a time and a generation and that '63 T Bird!
