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.
Monty, I just love this movie. I did a post on it for the Cafe a while back. Vincent Price is so much fun!

ReplyDeleteSome people just don't appreciate the charm of a really dumb movie...Ahem!
ReplyDeleteDavid and I have this on our DVR along with Dr Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs. These movies are just plain fun!
ReplyDeleteMonty, I enjoy all the AIP films of this era and Vincent Price is a blast as Dr. Goldfoot. Plus, this one had the incredibly beautiful Susan Hart. She married AIP co-founder James H. Nicholson and retired from acting.
