Where are the robot girls now?: I liked the robots. Nice girls. I liked robot 11, Diane, played by Susan Hart. Frankie Avalon, the bumbling secret agent was charming. A fun movie not to be taken seriously. I know San Francisco and how difficult it is to find parking and drive through the crowded strets in 2003 is. What a breeze was 1966. Uncrowded streets and parking was availble. It would be sad to see how the beautiful Robot girls and Susan Hart look now in 2003. Aging spares nobody.
Look out Mike Myers...Dr. Goldfoot might get you: The successful spoofs Mike Meyers has been doing, most recently "Goldmember" owes it's mad capped nonsense to those who have boldly gone before him...namely Vincent Prince! In his run of movies for AIP and Roger Corman, he also did a couple of gems - the other "Comedy of Terrors" *****, and they make a great popcorn double-feature for a Saturday Night. Both movies showcase the rarely seen fun-side of the very talented Vincent Price. In Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine - total mindless fun - Dr. Goldfoot (Price - a sly, wicked performance having a hoot of a time) has made a machine to manufacture a bikini clad army of robots who are programmed to seek out wealthy men, marry them and charm them into signing over their assets, before bumping them off. With passing pokes at Princes own AIP films and the Bond films, it is good giggles. Not as sharp as "Comedy of Terrors", it's still great for Prince Fans, people who enjoyed Myers spy spoofs, or those looking for a time-capsule blast from the past, this is an enjoyable diversion! With Frankie Avalon, Craig Steven, Dwayne Hickman, Deborah Wally turning in good support performances, the Supremes giving a catching theme song, and claymation credits it's perfect popcorn fun. Give a skip on the sequel - Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs - not as stylishly done.
If you like the dvd cover, you'll love the movie.: Susan Hart. Vincent Price. All you need to know. Especially Susan Hart.
Frankie Avalon plays secret agent "Craig Gamble": Frankie Avalon stars in this fun and funny comedy movie playing secret agent "Craig Gamble" and is good in the role.Frankie is like always at his best comedy acting.If you like Frankie then you will like the movie.
Enjoyable: I recently purchased this film on dvd because my old copy that was taped off AMC finally gave out. This is a spoof on the spy craze of the time and it serves that purpose. Whenever I see this film, I think of another film that starred Vincent Price and Susan Hart and that is War gods of the deep. Both of these films were made around the same time, but Price and Hart both seemed tired in that film. Everyone in this film really seems like they had fun doing this picture. Vincent Price is really sharp delivering dialogue that would fall flat coming from someone else's mouth. The print is sharp and colorful and the original trailer is included.
