November 6, 1965 –
A very sill spy spoof, Dr Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine, directed by Norman Taurog, and starring Vincent Price, Frankie Avalon, Dwayne Hickman, Susan Hart and Jack Mullaney, was released on this date.
In the midst of the extensive, wacky vehicle chase about halfway through the movie, the various characters pass a movie marquee reading The Girl in the Glass Bikini. That title also appears in the end credits, being promoted as a sequel to star Annette Funicello, Deborah Walley, Harvey Lembeck, and Aron Kincaid. A sequel was made, but none of the promised actors appeared in it and the title was changed to Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs.
