Cinema: Surf Bore
For Those Who Think Young borrows a popular soft-drink slogan, but carelessly omits the fizz. Probably it never should have been put in the can. Disguised as a surf saga, the movie has one good surfing sequence and little else. Pamela Tiffin, James Darren, Tina Louise, Nancy Sinatra, Comedians Paul Lynde and Woody Woodbury struggle to get a foothold in the slippery story about a rich campus cutup and a poor coed. But the standout performer is a bearded beachnik called Kelp. He paints a small face on his chin, upside down. Then he covers himself with sand, leaving the bottom half of his face exposed, and spiels gags. The gags aren't funny, but in a movie like this the audience can readily identify with a man who buries his head in the sand.
