Love in a Goldfish Bowl (1961)

Interesting facts

Love in a Goldfish Bowl is a 1961 teen film directed by Jack Sher starring singing idols Tommy Sands and Fabian.

Production

The film was originally known as Beach Pad. It was based on an original script by Jack Sher and his cousin Louis Kamp's wife, Irene Kamp, who had worked on Paris Blues together; they sold it to Martin Jurow and Richard Shepherd, the producers of Breakfast at Tiffany's, who had a deal at Paramount.

Shooting started in November 1960 and took place in Hollywood and on location in Balboa.

Fabian and Tommy Sands were both pop stars at the time and both sing in the film. Sands' hair was dyed blonde to differentiate him from Fabian. Sands later said this was "a big mistake. It looked so phony. Fans who knew me knew that was phony."
