Beach Ball is a 1965 American beach party movie starring Edd Byrnes and partly financed by Roger Corman.[3]
It features appearances by The Supremes, The Walker Brothers, and The Righteous Brothers.[4]
Tom Lisanti called it "arguably the breeziest and most enjoyable Beach Party clones. It is also the most blatant rip off."[5]
