Villainous Dr. Goldfoot (Vincent Price) mass-produces alluring gynoids in gold lamé bikinis and sends them out to seduce, then swindle, wealthy men. After being mistaken for a target by lovely #11 (Susan Hart), bumbling SIC agent Craig Gamble (Franke Avalon) and actual target Todd Armstrong (Dwayne Hickman) attempt to foil the sinister scientist's scurrilous scheme. If you expected anything other than silly hijinks from this AIP opus, then you mustn't have read the title, so the film delivers with its goofy fusion of Bond and beach genres highlighted by a great, self-parodying performance by Price (his on-going abuse of hapless lab-assistant Igor (Jack Mullaney) is priceless). Like a number of the 'beach' movies, 'DGatBM' degenerates into a tedious time-filling chase sequence but otherwise the film is entertaining enough for a 60s teen-targeted comedy. Perennial Beach Party guests Annette Funicello and Harvey Lembeck have cameos in one of Vincent Price's classic venues: the torture dungeon. The opening credits by Gumby creator (Art Clokey) are a fun backdrop to a theme song performed by the already rising stars 'The Supremes' (how that came to be seems to be a mystery). A number of the sexy-simulacrums were Playboy models so a glimpse of what couldn't be shown on the big screen in 1965 is likely only a few keystrokes away.
