Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine


Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine is a 1965 American International Pictures comedy film in Pathcolor directed by Norman Taurog and starring Vincent Price, Frankie Avalon, Dwayne Hickman, Susan Hart and Jack Mullaney and featuring Fred Clark. It is a parody of the thenpopular spy film trend, particularly the 1964 James Bond hit Goldfinger, using actors from AIPs beach party and Edgar Allan Poe films.

Price plays the titular mad scientist who, with the questionable assistance of his resurrected flunky Mullaney, builds a gang of female robots who are then dispatched to seduce and rob wealthy men. Goldfoots name reflects his and his robots choice in footwear. Avalon and Hickman play the bumbling heroes who attempt to thwart Goldfoots scheme. The films climax is an extended chase through the streets of San Francisco.The original idea for this motion picture came from James H. Nicholson, the President of American International Pictures, who wanted to showcase the versatile talents of AIP contract player Susan Hart. Nicholson provided the story, and is credited as James Hartford. He hired Robert Kaufman to write the first draft. Director Norman Taurog hired Elwood Ullman to do a rewrite, and Taurog remained intimately involved with the content. Deke Heyward later claimed, without substantiation, that he completely rewrote Robert Kaufmanns script. ........
