It is directed by standup comedian Lennie Weinrib and produced by Bart Patton and is notable for featuring Jay and the Americans and the duo of Dick and Dee Dee in their only film appearances. The Beau Brummels, Jackie and Gayle and The Astronauts also perform onscreen.[2] PlotFraternity brothers at Alpine College in the snow-covered mountains of Lake Tahoe recruit Ronnie Duke (Clarke), a surfer friend from California to seduce Susan Benchley (Noel), head of the school sorority and secretary to Dean Carlton (James Wellman), because Susan has brainwashed the other female students on campus to avoid dating the boys. Ronnie sets out a plan to become captain of the ski team and win over Susan, who is engaged to John Harris (Steve Franken), while he also attempts to save the school from its financial troubles. Cast
Production notesThis film was shot on location at the Alpine Meadows Ski Resort in Alpine Meadows, near Lake Tahoe, California.[3] Wild Wild Winter is the last of four films in the beach party genre that made use of a winter setting. The other three are MGM’s Get Yourself a College Girl (1964), AIP’s Ski Party (1965), and Columbia Pictures’ Winter A-Go-Go (1965). A follow-up to Lennie Weinrib’s previous beach party film, Beach Ball, this film was originally titled Snow Ball, then Snowbound (the only lyrics to Wild Wild Winter’s opening theme song are “Snowbound, snowbound!”) While technically not a sequel to Beach Ball, this film utilizes the same writer (Sam Locke), producer and director as well four actors from that film’s cast: Chris Noel (named Susan in both films), Don Edmonds, James Wellman and Dick Miller. Universal signed Weinrib and Patton to a seven year contract on the basis of Beach Ball. The film's working title was Snow Ball.[4] The contract with Universal was to make two films a year for seven years.[5] Weinrib’s directing career consisted of only three films – all in the beach party genre: the aforementioned Beach Ball from 1965, and both Wild Wild Winter and Out of Sight from 1966. The Astronauts was a Boulder, Colorado-based surf band[6] who had a Billboard Top 100 hit in 1963 with their song “Baja.” They appeared in three other beach party films (Surf Party, Wild on the Beach and Out of Sight) – more than any other surf band. MusicThe composer for this film, Jerry Long also wrote the score for another beach party film, Catalina Caper. Both films are his only onscreen credits. "Wild Wild Winter", the theme song to the film, was composed by Chester Pipkin. The Beau Brummels are shown performing their own "Just Wait and See". The Astronauts perform "A Change of Heart", written by Mark Gordon and the film’s composer Chester Pipkin. Al Capps and Mary Dean wrote two songs heard in the film, "Our Love's Gonna Snowball", sung by Jackie and Gayle; and "Heartbeats", sung by Dick and Dee Dee with the Astronauts shown as performing back-up. The Astronauts are also shown as providing back-up for Jay and the Americans' performance of “Two of a Kind," written by Victor Millrose and Tony Bruno. A soundtrack to the film was released on Decca Records in December 1965.[7] ReceptionThe film reportedly made a profit.[8] However, Weinrib and Patton only made one more film for Universal, Out of Sight (1966).[5] The New York Times called it "colorful, yes, but wearying."[9] See also
