Movie Review: Dr. Goldfoot and His Girl Bombs (Spie vengono dal semifreddo)
Summary: 1 Stars
Being a fan of the Mario Bava works I've seen up till now (Bay of Blood, Black Sunday, Shock, and Blood and Black Lace, among others) I was surprised at the different direction this movie takes. This is an awkward and embarrassing comedy, starring the Italian comedians Franco Franchi and Ciccio Ingrassia as well as singer Fabian, and Vincent Price as the evil doctor, who mass-produces bikini girls as living bombs. Dr. Goldfoot is planning on bombing NATO's leaders, and only suspended agent Bill Dexter (played by lover boy Fabian) can save the world.
As a plot, this sounds like psychotronic and campy fun, and we do get to see tons of spy movie clichés like piranhas in a pool who eat their victims to the bone within 3 seconds, a suspenseful scene on a plane involving a bomb, and car chases among other things. The problem is the comic parts of the movie. The two Italian comedians Franco and Ciccio just don't do it well, yet they are intended as the main attraction of the movie, since the plot evolves around these two mindless would-be detectives, who happen to stumble upon everything by coincidence (perhaps their "charm" is only understood by Italian audiences?). I'm amazed that Vincent Price agreed to do this movie, but he does a fine job as the evil villain, and I'd even go as far as calling him the best comedian in the crowd. This movie is a sequel to Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine (1965), also starring Vincent Price, but produced solely in the USA. The latter didn't get much praise so I wonder why Bava choose to pick this one up and include two national comedians as story developers. Really a mystery...
On the good side, Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs has quite a lot of inventive and funny ideas in it, at least when it comes to crazy 60s effects and scenarios. Especially the girl bombs idea is nice and whacky. The direction is nothing in particular and none of the now classic Bavaesque colour/light plays are vivid. As a finish I'll rate this as a chaotic and bad stinker that only Bava or Price collectors should buy or watch. If this didn't scare you away the movie is only available on Italian DVD, dubbed in Italian with English subtitles.
