Pajama Party (film) This is the fourth in a series of seven beach films produced by American International Pictures. The other films in this series are Beach Party (1963), Muscle Beach Party (1964), Bikini Beach (1964), Beach Blanket Bingo (1965), How to Stuff a Wild Bikini (1965), and The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (1966).
Pajama Party is one of only two Beach Party films not directed by William Asher. Pajama Party and The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini were both directed by Don Weis . Frankie Avalon appears in the film in all the scenes with Don Rickles, but only the back of Avalon's head is seen until the final moments.
The film is not to be confused with the 1963 novel Pajama Party about lesbian activities among college girls, which was banned on the grounds of obscenity. A teen-aged intelligence officer from the planet Mars named Go Go ( Tommy Kirk) is ordered to Earth to prepare the way for a Martian invasion.

I'd never thought I'd see a bluray or 2k version of any of the bikini movies that used to air way back in the 70s on independent TV channels during the summer. Seeing Frankie and Annette and Harvey Lembeck lead his rats and mice across the beach, it's harmless and memorable stuff.

This was the first movie Susan Hart made for AIP under her four-picture contract with the studio. She was one of a number of young players in the film who were under a long-term deal with AIP, the others including Donna Loren, Bobbi Shaw, Cheryl Sweeten, Mary Hughes, Michael Nader and Edward Garner.
Syndicated newspaper columnist Dorothy Kilgallen 's son, Kerry Kollmar, has a recurring role throughout the film as a little boy who declares disgustedly "Mush!". whenever he spies romance in action.
A subplot involves a motorcycle gang led by Eric von Zipper ( Harvey Lembeck ), a leather-jacketed, middle-aged delinquent with an irrational hatred for buxom beach-babes and their surfer-dude boyfriends. One such character, Connie ( Annette Funicello ), has a crush on a volleyball nut named Big Lunk ( Jody McCrea ).
Famed animator Joseph Barbera wrote a romantic comedy play which debuted on stage in Los Angeles in 1952 called The Maid and the Martian. It was about Captain Derro, a scout from Mars, who goes to Earth to help plan an invasion, but falls in love with a girl from Earth. The Los Angeles Times said the play "has strong elements and might even go to Broadway... provided it gains more completeness in plot and situation." The production was directed by Gordon Hunt and starred Pat Priest (who would later become a regular on TV's The Munsters ). It ran successfully for seven weeks. The play was revived in 1954 with James Arness in the lead.
The popularity of the film saw Buster Keaton appear in a number of AIP movies before his death. Don Weis, Heyward and Kirk collaborated on another AIP beach party film which was actually a pajama party movie, The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini .
