Don’t Make Waves (1967) based on the novel ‘Muscle Beach’: Italian bombshell Claudia Cardinale (Laura Califatti) in a rare English-speaking role with fading Hollywood star Tony Curtis (Carlo Cofield). The film opened to poor reviews and bombed at the box office. The budget was supposedly $4 million. American International Pictures far superior Muscle Beach Party (1964) was made for around one tenth of the cost: around $400,000.
