would direct and Claudia Cardinale would co star. Filming took place in August 1966. Sharon Tate told her husband Roman Polanski that her experience working on this film was not particularly enjoyable. The production atmosphere was tense, and it was worsened when an uncredited stuntman drowned when he parachuted into the Pacific Ocean. The film was Tate's third to be produced, but as it was the first to be released in cinemas, it is generally considered to be her debut. MGM mounted an extensive publicity campaign upon its release that was based largely on Tate and her character, Malibu, and life-sized cardboard cutouts of Tate wearing a bikini were placed in cinema foyers throughout the United States. It was also linked to a widespread advertising campaign by Coppertone which also featured Tate. Dave Draper, who plays Malibu's boyfriend Harry, was the 1965 IFBB Mr. America and the 1966 NABBA Mr. Universe. 1966 NABBA Mr. Universe bodybuilder Chester Yorton, who plays Ted Gunder, made one other film, 1964's Muscle Beach Party, in which he plays the character called "Hulk." Music The score was composed by Vic Mizzy. Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman wrote the title song, "Don't Make Waves," performed by the Byrds over the opening credits.

Bob was one of the earliest camera-flyers the sport of skydiving produced in the early 1960s. ABC's Wide World Of Sports hired Bob as a freefall cameraman to cover the World Championships of Parachuting in Munich, Germany in 1964. He is a legend to skydivers the world over, with one of the most prestigious awards in skydiving being the "Bob Buquor Memorial Star Crest" Award, so-named in his honor. No-one knows exactly what happened to Bob, but it is likely winds aloft prevented him from reaching the beach landing zone once under his open round Para-Commander parachute. Instead, he landed in the Pacific Ocean off Malibu, California and drowned. Rescue divers later found Bob sitting upright on the ocean floor with his camera helmet off, but tightly clutched in his arms. The consensus of people who knew Bob is that he might have saved himself by jettisoning his heavy camera helmet, but he was too much of a professional to not bring back the images he was paid to capture.
