A Martian teenager lands in a California beach house to scout Earth for invasion. Instead of conquest, he finds surf music, go-go dancing, and a girl in a striped nightgown. This 1964 sci-fi musical comedy swaps interplanetary war for a whirlwind of teenage romance and dance contests. When his superior arrives to complete the mission, loyalties are divided between planetary duty and the irresistible pull of a pajama-clad party.

This is a pick for an evening of nostalgia for old Hollywood musicals. The viewer is swept into a stream of uncomplicated fun, where plot is merely a vehicle for song. — MovieFinder Editorial
