    No great shakes.

    No message board and no user reviews! Has no one seen this movie? Apparently not. I'm watching a poor bootleg copy right now. I love the the 1960's beach party movies but this is quite a bore. Joy Harmon is the title character, "One Way Wahine", the only starring role she would ever have. She spends much of the movie in a bikini or some such little costume and does a sexy dance around a campfire which is my favorite scene. Joy is the only reason why you'll want to see this film. Incredibly beautiful and sexy she played only bit parts in a few 1960's films. Joy is best known for "Cool Hand Luke" in the wonderful car washing scene and "Village of the Giants", a true classic. I'm sorry she didn't do more. Anthony Eisley (77 Sunset Strip) is the only other known actor. The rest of the cast are complete amateurs reading their lines off of cue cards. There's no plot worth mentioning and a lousy music track which is what beach party movies need most. Pretty lame except for Joy.

    A Rather Dull "Beach Party" Movie

    This film essentially begins with an attractive blonde by the name of "Kit Williams" (Joy Harmon) flying to Hawaii to enjoy some fun in the sun with no real thought of tomorrow. While there she meets a young man named "Lou Talbot" (David Whorf) who introduces him to a couple of friends by the name of "Chick Lindell" (Anthony Eisley) and "Brandy Saveties" (Adele Claire) also have the same philosophy of life. To that effect, although they certainly have a good time, they all wonder how much better it would be if they had more money. And it's then that Lou meets two older men named "Charley Rossi" (Lee Krieger) and "Hugo Sokol" (Ken Mayer) who ask him to set them up with two young ladies for a night--and they offer to pay a decent amount of money for them. Being the observant person that he is, Lou quickly deduces that these two men recently robbed a bank in Chicago and concludes that they must have a fortune hidden somewhere in their new apartment. That said, after talking it over with his three friends, he come up with a plan to steal all that money for themselves. What none of them realize, however, is that Charley and Hugo aren't just ordinary thieves--they're cold-blooded killers who don't like it when people try to take things from them. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was a rather dull "Beach Party" movie which suffered from weak acting and a lack of any real comedy. On the plus side, I liked the exotic Hawaiian scenery and having an attractive actress like Joy Harmon certainly didn't hurt in that regard either. But even so, neither of these features could offset the previously mentioned faults, and I have rated this movie accordingly. Slightly below average.
