DR. GOLDFOOT AND THE BIKINI MACHINE

Determined to rule the world, loony scientist Dr. Goldfoot (Vincent Price) invents a contraption that makes robotic bimbos, each vacuum-packed in a lamé bikini. Goldfoot's comely fembots then set out to seduce salivating millionaires who can't resist their wetware winks. Filmed in San Francisco, this AIP extravaganza features teen idol Frankie Avalon as an inept government agent, Dwayne Hickman as a detoxed Dobie Gillis, and Susan Hart, who would later star in The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini, as the perfect No. 11. But Price is the clowning glory, traipsing around the lab in a collection of fey smoking jackets, programming his scantily clad squad of platinum playthings. Originally intended as a musical, Dr. Goldfoot is a thoroughly goofy gambol that includes a wacked-out chase through the City, a set borrowed from The Pit and the Pendulum, and opening titles by Art “Gumby” Clokey. A sequel, Dr. Goldfoot and the Sex Bombs, was released the following year, directed by Mario Bava!
