Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs is a 1966 Italian spy-spoof film directed by Mario Bava and starring Vincent Price, Fabian, Francesco Mulé, Laura Antonelli and the Italian comedy team of Franco Franchi and Ciccio Ingrassia.
The film was shot in Italy by cinematographer Antonio Rinaldi and the Italian version is reported to be quite different than the English-language edition, with more screen time spent on the antics of Franco and Ciccio and less on Vincent Price and the other American cast. The Italian title of the tilm is Spie vengono dal semifreddo (Literally, "The Spies Who Came In From the Frozen Custard"). The Italian title was a pun on The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and the name of an thick Italian ice cream dessert, semifreddo (literally semicold).
The "Dr. Goldfoot" of the English version is clearly a take off of James Bond's foe Goldfinger; 1964 film version was highly successful and still fresh in the public consciousness at the time the previous film in the series, Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine was made.
Goofy. I like it.
