First up is For Those Who Think Young (1964) where rich college boy James Darren pursues studious coed Pamela Tiffin in and out of the surf.

Get Yourself a College Girl (1964) sends coeds Mary Ann Mobley, Nancy Sinatra, Chris Noel, and their swinging teacher Joan O'Brien to the ski slopes where pompous Chad Everett wants to make more than beautiful music with budding songwriter Mobley while Latin lover Fabrizio Mioni only has eyes for the naive Noel.







It's a Bikini World (1967) when Deborah Walley and Suzie Kaye decorate the shores of Southern California where chauvinist beach boy Tommy Kirk tries to woo feminist Walley by pretending to be his nerdy twin brother who coaches her in a series of sport challenges.







And finally Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello have a Beach Party (1963) in the movie that started the Hollywood surf movie craze.
