Tabloid sleaze meets sandy hijinks in a sun-soaked hunt for Hollywood gossip.
THE BEACH BUNNIES
Hotter Than The Summer Sun
A reporter for a gossip magazine stays at a beach house near that of a movie star to investigate reports that he had had a sex change operation.
When the gossip’s this spicy, even the sand gets hot.
Hollywood scandal gets a splashy, sunburnt twist as Ed Wood, Jr. pens a tabloid romp under Stephen C. Apostolof’s direction. Bikini-clad sleuths, sexploitation mischief, and a plot that’s pure ‘70s pulp—this is beach reading, SassyFlix style.
