I'm definitely in.

However, it would be better if they made a Don't Make Waves, too - a sequel.

Maybe...Tony Curtis's car breaks down again and when he walks to get help there is Dave training at the beach, et al. Dave could be heart broken since his girlfriend (Sharon) eloped with someone else. You fill in the rest...

I have not seen the movie yet this is the best I can do.

There's another reason the DVD would be cool: Dave's in more scenes in the "letterbox" version than the video modification. We really noticed that when we saw the film version at the theater -- the theater owner found a superior film the second time he showed it that had vivid color and Dave in more scenes. Fun.

But... I doubt if our few dozen purchase orders would be enough to bring out the DVD.

Laree I agree. That is why I put it onto DVD-R. Dvds do last 150 years or so. Maybe I'll stick around to find out !!!
Laree do you need a copy on DVD ? I'll make you one if you need one, (It's on me)

Actually, it never occured to me that it was the West Coast counterweight to anything -- but that's why we have critics to point these things out!

Upcoming Draper on TV
07-02-06 10:07 PM - Post#215548    

I remember seeing that alot of people on here were on the lookout for the movies and shows that Mr. Draper made appearances in. I looked ahead on my satellite and saw that on monday July 10th at 9:00AM EST, the episode of the "The Beverly Hillbillies" called "Mr. Universe Muscles In" is on and stars Mr. Draper. The channel that it is showing on is WGN, which i believe is a Chicago station. I am not sure if that's a national station, or whether we happen to get it in Pennsylvania for some reason. So set your DVR, TIVO, or a VHS if you have to and want to. Just thought I'd let everyone know.

Buy the movie for Christmas! I watch it every so often--really captures thr very groovy 60's: Cars, bikinis, clothes, surf boards, scooters, muscle beach, swimming pools and movie stars.

Book "Don't Make Waves" was from.

Please indulge my nostalgic rambling as I reflect back on the year 1961 as a junior at Beverly High who had been lifting weights by myself in my cellar for several years when I came across a paperback novel titled "Muscle Beach" by Ira Wallach. It was a hilarious novel but for someone who's only contact with the close fraternity of bodybuilding was the limited few muscle magazines of the time and they only provided brief descriptions of what being a hardcore bodybuilder was really like, this book was "The Holy Grail" for me and I devoured it with such intensity that I could still quote from it today. When "Don't Make Waves" starring Dave came out several years later, at the risk of sounding overly dramatic, I felt like I was being "reborn". Well Ironagers, I've just been reborn again as I recently purchased a copy of "Muscle Beach" on ebay and after reading it twice, I am once again motivated to share this gem with you. If you are interested, please reply with your mailing name and address and I'll start it around the country. Written in 1959, it is a classic description of what "The Golden Age of Bodybuilding" in Southern California was all about. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and do.

I'm afraid my copy, gifted from the collection of Bill Keyes, who paid a whopping 15 cents for it back about a hundred years ago, is not going to get passed around the country like loose change. :~)

I'm still looking for it on 16 or 35mm for a Draper filmfest I want to have. I already have Dave's Monkees and Beverly Hillbillies episodes on 16mm. When I get Don't Make Waves I'll hold a Muscle Beach party at my house in the summer, with sand, weights, movies, BBQ and Bomber Blend in the margarita machine. Sweet!

I transfered all my old VHS tapes to DVD, they look good.
