Bikini Madness

It was perfectly possible to earn money by showing off one’s skin without contravening contemporary codes of Western morality. During the “bikini madness” of the 1950s, various film producers regarded the bikini as an unbeatable gimmick, and almost flooded the cinemas with the most outlandish movie absurdities to feature it, starring such luminaries as Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Monroe. Titles included Bikini Beach and It’s a Bikini World, with offshoots such as Muscle Beach Party. Among all of them, there were some fairly good productions – although they tended without exception to depict rather characterless young people scantily clad on beaches in rather weird historic or prehistoric scenarios, and to be totally forgettable within two minutes after the movie ended. The most important element, after all, was to have pretty girls lying nonchalantly on the sand, or dancing for muscle-bound but apparently blasé hunks, with whom – after sexual dalliance of an unspecified nature, for the viewer never got to see much, if anything, of it (suggesting not just a reluctance to trouble the national film censor, but also a tragic dimension to the unfolding drama) – they would cheerfully drink a bottle or two of soda-pop (or historical equivalent) around a bonfire on the beach. Regrettably, when it came to the bikini, bad taste knew no bounds – although there was a good deal of tongue-in-cheek about it, too. How to Stuff a Wild Bikini and The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini are, for instance, counted among the masterpieces of this unjustly ignored genre. Horror films also reckoned the bikini to be one of their staple elements, a guaranteed accessory for a tasty young victim. In Scary Movie, for example, the first young female victim of the treacherous killer progressively divests herself of her clothing before finally coming to a full stop, hacked to pieces beside a swimming pool. In a two-piece costume, of course.
