The Morning Movie: Dr. Goldfoot and The Bikini Machine (1965)

Today's morning movie on TCM was a favorite of mine growing up. It's the 60's cool cult classic Dr. Goldfoot and The Bikini Machine, starring the awesome Vincent Price. It's a mindless but entertaining comedy with elements of sci-fi that has Dr. Goldfoot (Price) creating an army of bikini clad robots to seduce the world's wealthiest men and have them sign over all their assets. And only Frankie Avalon and Dwayne Hickman can stop them. Yeah I'm thinking the same thing..win for Dr. Goldfoot. This is a perfect time capsule of the 60's era with swinging music, cool fashions, and just an all around good vibe. At times, the film may go over the top but it's all in good fun. And loaded with great cameos by Avalon's co-stars from all those beach pics of this era as well: Annette Funicello and Deborah Walley to name a few.

At The Beach: Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon

One of the more popular movie series of all time has to be the beach movies from the 60's with Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon. I grew up watching these films during my teens during the summer and loved the heck out of them. My co-worker and friend Lori said she and her sister used to do the same thing. I asked her what pic of a star or film would she like me to post for my at the beach series and without hesitation she said Beach Blanket Bingo. I told her I would gladly do it and plus give her a birthday shout out. Her birthday was yesterday. So Happy Birthday Lorie and here's to Beach Blanket Bingo with Annette, Frankie and the gang.

The only person that looks happy is Linda Evans...what gives?
