Vincent Price will always be remembered as a horror legend, but he made some wacky comedies too. Today, THIS is running a marathon of kooky 1960s comedies. Among today's films is a double feature of Vincent Price's "Dr. Goldfoot" pics.
These were very silly...and very 60s (and no doubt inspired "Austin Powers")...mad scientist movies starring Price as the diabolical title character and yesteryear's teen idols (Fabian, Dwayne Hickman, Frankie Avalon) trying to foil his fiendish plots.
First up is "Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine" at 4 p.n. The evil Dr. Goldfoot (named for his taste in shoes) constructs an army of robot babes to seduce wealthy bachelors. Avalon and Hickman also star.
At 6 p.m., "Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs" transplants the action from groovy California to swinging Italy. The tagline is "Meet the Girls with the Thermonuclear Navels!" It's directed by horror legend Mario Bava ("Black Sabbath," "Planet of the Vampires").
