It's set in a nightclub or something that has a big glass tank where bikini'd babes swim while sucking air from hoses (like at the W.W.). There's a guy that keeps saying "What lungs!" meaning of course "What boobs!" Does anyone know what this movie is? It's making me kind of mental. That scene was also from the movie mentioned in the above post, "Where the Boys Are"- It's a pretty cool film about college kids in Ft. Lauderdale for spring break. The cast includes a very young George Hamilton and Frank Gorshin as a hep jazz musician. If anyone gets to NYC, there's a bar called The Coral Room on W. 29th St. that features a retro nautical motif and has a giant aquarium behind the bar with performers in mermaid outfits. So that Wahini's get equal rights, there are mermen on Sundays.
