Amidst the popularity of James Bond movies and beach party movies, this harmless, brainless, girl-filled comedy was typical of its era.
Anyone familiar with 1960s films in general can easily predict who stars in this one without even glancing at the credits. All the actors are blatantly type cast, so consider the following description of the characters and then make your best guess as to who plays each one.
There's a villain who wants to conquer the world with his bikini-clad robot-girls, a teenaged millionaire who can't resist a pretty face, a bumbling teenaged secret agent, a busty teenaged girl friend, and a flustered father-figure.
Congratulations if you guessed Vincent Price, Dwayne Hickman, Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello, and Fred Clark. Obviously you spent all your teenaged years at drive-in movies.
Directed by Norman Taurog. Beware of the vastly inferior Italian sequel, Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll be sure to avoid that one!  |

Inferior story, yes; but great eye-candy!
