Sun, Sea And Celluloid

Three beach-set films:

Set in England after the Second World War and inspired by the early life of British madam Cynthia Payne, Wish You Were Here follows Lynda Mansell (Emily Lloyd), a free-spirited, profanity-spouting and sexually frank teenager who lives in a quiet seaside town with her widowed father and her younger sister.

Based on the off-Broadway play by Charles Busch, Psycho Beach Party revolves around Florence "Chicklet" Forrest (Lauren Ambrose), a Gidget-like "surfer chick with a split personality" who is one of a handful of suspects thought to be responsible for a series of gruesome (but humorous) deaths in 1962 Malibu Beach.

Set during the summer of 1963, Shag follows Carson McBride (Phoebe Cates), Melaina Buller (Bridget Fonda), Caroline "Pudge" Carmichael (Annabeth Gish) and Luanne Clatterback (Page Hannah), four friends who sneak off to Myrtle Beach for a weekend away together before Carson gets married.
