Shag was a type of dance in that era [early 60s] in that region. I was stationed there when they filmed it. [80s]. Tried to get on as an extra, didn't. Guess it was because there weren't too many asians back then... LOL!

RELEASED IN 1989 and directed by Zelda Barron, "Shag" is a teen drama about four girls freshly graduated from high school taking a vacation weekend at Myrtle Beach in 1963. There's the senator's daughter, Luanne (Page Hannah); the engaged or encaged Carson (Phoebe Cates); the wannabe Hollywood starlet Malaina (Bridget Fonda); and the thinks-she's-still-fat-but-she's-not Pudge (Annabeth Gish). The movie plays like a melding of "American Graffiti" (1973), "Dirty Dancing" (1987) and "Mystic Pizza" (1988). It's far superior to the overrated "American Graffiti" and lacks the idiot subplot of "Dirty Dancing" (see my reviews of both for details). The script thrusts the four girls into the weekend festivities at Myrtle Beach as quickly as possible wherein the story splits into several vignettes that intertwine. The weekend highpoints include: A beauty contest on the beach, a wild house party at the senator's vacation home (unbeknownst to him, of course) and a shag dance contest. Thematically, the flick tries to advocate the wise middle ground between life-stifling legalism and foolish libertinism. Some have called this a "chick flick" and I can see why since the focus is on the four girls, but there's just as much here for dudes to relate. For instance, there are several voluptuous cuties on display, both in the main cast and in the periphery. Kudos to the director for his excellent eye for women. Bridget Fonda is particularly showcased in all her glory with her white bikini scenes being a highlight. She was 23 when the film was shot in 1987. There are also several prominent guys in the cast: Harley (Tyrone Power Jr.), Buzz (Robert Rusler), Chip (Scott Coffey), Jimmy Valentine (Jeff Yagher) and, to a lesser extent, the manager (Paul Lieber) and Big Bob (Jay Baker). Lastly, the movie features a great period soundtrack with excellent cuts like "Stay" by The Voltage Brothers, performed (lip-synced) at The Pavilion. THE FILM RUNS 1 hour, 38 minutes and was shot entirely in South Carolina (Georgetown, Myrtle Beach & Florence). WRITERS: Lanier Laney, Terry Sweeney & Robin Swicord. GRADE: B+
