Shag
is a beach flick set in 1963. The years have passed, but the old
Where the Boys Are
formula holds firm: four attractive young lasses head for the surf and sand of Myrtle Beach, SC, looking for guys. Carson McBride (Phoebe Cates) is about to be married, so her three pals seek out a final
affaire d'amour
on her behalf before she is lost to the world forever. The cast is fascinating for its family ties: Bridget Fonda is the daughter of Peter Fonda, Page Hannah the sister of Daryl Hannah, and
Tyrone Power Jr.
is the son of you-know-who. Filmed in 1988,
was released that year in Europe, then offered to American audiences one year later.
