Tun @ei 7lte£ 1 i7 rrr.: ween THERE'S one thing about making a film that calls for a beach location, the cast can have a swell time during lulls in the shooting schedule. And don't think Virginia Mayo, Dona Drake, Ronald Reagan, Eddie Bracken didn't make the most of their sojourn at Balboa where "The Girl From Jones Beach" was filmed. They swam, sailed and romped on the beach. Not that their chores in the Warner picture were unpleasant, for there were many beach scenes which came about as the result of Eddie Bracken's suicidal decision to go to the famous Long Island seaside resort to end it all. While waiting for Dona Drake, his girl friend, to come and save him, he spies beautiful Virginia lying on the beach and immediately recognizes her as the in-the-flesh version of artist Ronnie Reagan's composite Randolph Girl. That's when the fun in the film begins. Eddie demonstrates his brute strength by whisking the 95 pound Dona right off her feet. Virginia checks on Eddie's luck with rod V reel, but he's up to his trunks in trouble.
