Storyline

Rich playgirl Kit Jordan (nee Katherine Lawson Chandler) is in Acapulco vacationing with her current husband, Pete Jordan, formerly an American beach boy working the Acapulco shores for rich women. Meanwhile, the body of one of Pete's fellow beach boys, Billy Andrews, washes to shore. On his wrist is a bracelet engraved with "Love is thin ice." The police investigate whether it was murder or suicide. Conflict arises when Billy's old girlfriend, Carol, makes a play for Pete, and beach boy Hank tries to score with Kit, and the stability of the marriage is put to the test.—K. Jackson

Short Review

What I got was the emptiness of the rich or leisurely life that put beach bums on a parity with the rich that even pick up on them like Kit's husband Pete. Hank - "not illegal, just immoral - even forsakes permanence with (Ruth Roman) that she bitterly tells him "You could have had it all" after he blackmails her. Whether rich or vagrant they lounge through life, fix drinks, and occasionally pick someone up. A loser was the man found dead on the beach, apparently taking that life too seriously. The film was archetypal with me in its symbolism; otherwise it was weak and miscast Turner's prestige, reducing her to a grade B role. Robertson's role was the deepest, actually pondering on the wasted life values and advising (Stephanie Powers) to go home. I didn't believe KIt surviving the huge bull goring her but it was used to reconcile Pete to her. (Ruth Roman) was bitter but what did she expect when she dealt in her stock in trade - a reformed Hank? I liked her swelling bosom.
