Shag is a
beach flick set in 1963. The years have passed, but the old
Where the Boys Are formula holds firm: four attractive young lasses head for the surf and sand of Myrtle Beach, SC, looking for guys.
Carson McBride (
Phoebe Cates) is about to be married, so her three pals seek out a final
affaire d'amour on her behalf before she is lost to the world forever. The cast is fascinating for its family ties:
Bridget Fonda is the daughter of
Peter Fonda,
Page Hannah the sister of
Daryl Hannah, and
Tyrone Power Jr. is the son of you-know-who. Filmed in 1988,
Shag was released that year in Europe, then offered to American audiences one year later.
