A teenage ski bum and his friend tries to turn the lodge he's inherited into a music club.
Mike Frankovich of Columbia Pictures saw A Swingin' Summer (1965) and told producer Reno Carell he would distribute a follow-up using that film's stars, James Stacy and William Wellman, Jr. The film was shot under the title A Swingin' Winter and used females under contract to Columbia. It was shot in Heavenly Valley on Lake Tahoe, and in the Eldorado National Forest.[5] [6]
Filming finished by early April 1965.[7]
The film was profitable for Columbia but not significantly so and the beach party cycle soon came to an end.[8]
In August 1965 it was announced Stacy and Wellman would star in Fort Bikini for Carell but the film was not made.[9]
