and the machine, together with a young laboratory assistant, disappears
( ha ha ), following which there are a number of inexplicable bank

and it is this which leads to the discovery that the bank robberies
are being carried out by the missing boy and the girl's lover.

Bond in America ( after a saunter around Europe in his less-than-standard
Aston Martin ). Auric Goldfinger, who has a passion for gold, plans
to raid America's Fort Knox gold reserves by using a team of typically
gorgeous female stunt fliers, led by hay-loving Pussy Galore, to
spray the area with poison gas before cutting into the facility
using an industrial laser which Bond has already seen at quarters
a bit too close for comfort. Once inside, he plans to detonate a
nuclear device to vaporise the gold thereby vastly increasing the
value of his own holdings. 007 infiltrates the group and discovers
the plan, leading a counterattack during the raid and, after a showdown
with the amazing Oddjob in the vault itself, manages to neutralise
the device with seconds to spare. Goldfinger meets his fitting end
in a chilling manner during his 'escape' when he is sucked out of
the window of a jet plane after the cabin depressurises. Which just
leaves a contrite Pussy Galore for him to deal with in his usual
manner . . .

Kiss
Me Quick!
( Dr. Breedlove )
Fantasy Productions
Russ Meyer
Jackie De Witt, Fred Coe, Althea Currier,
Claudia Banks
The titles may give you a clue to this one! A semi-porn semi-comedy
film which involves an alien called Sterilox ( sounds more like
a denture fixative ) who comes to Earth in search of females as
the women on his home planet are sterile. He first falls in love
with a vending machine after which he encounters Dr. Breedlove,
whose forte seems to be the manufacture of artificial women ( although
he apparently produces the odd Frankenstein-like monster in his
spare time ). Sterilox likes what he sees and takes one of the constructs
home with him.

Kisses
For My President
( Kisses For The President )
Pearlayne / Warner Brothers
Curtis Bernhardt
Polly Bergen, Fred MacMurray, Arlene Dahl,
Eli Wallach
Edward Andrews, Donald May
I'm not quite sure whether this belongs here but as it was set at
some future time and is still relevant I suppose it qualifies. Fred
brings his gentle charm to the role as he plays 'first lady' to
a macho female President of the U.S.A. and her dealings with a visiting
dictator whose morals are somewhat suspect when it comes to the
female gender.

A radioactive satellite of unknown origin appears in orbit over
the U.S.A. leading to all sorts of suspicions and accusations bordering
on nuclear war. Doomsday is avoided when the U.S.A. and Russia join
forces to investigate and destroy the satellite, but before they
can get the job done the thing disappears as mysteriously as it
arrived. There was a large involvement of the French armed forces
in the making of the film including the use of its aircraft carrier
Clemenceau for many of the scenes.

A
doctor who has harnessed atomic power into a machine that can transplant
brains is engaged by a rich matron to endow her with the body of
a sexy young woman. For this purpose she also takes on a couple
of gorgeous housekeepers and sets him up in a lab where the machine
itself seems to require a mainly-naked young lady ( Margie Fisco
) being hooked up to it in order for it to work. A test experiment
results in the brain of a cat being transplanted into one of the
young ladies ( Lisa Lang ). Fortunately, it didn't affect her work
- but they had to get a bigger cat flap fitted. The movie is narrated
by Bradford Dillman

An
eccentric professor discovers an anti-gravity compound which, when

by an underground race of ant-like Selenites from which they eventually
manage to escape, but leaving the professor behind, whose common
cold germs eventually wipe them out. It is told as a flashback story

LaMarr

Filmed
at Lake Tahoe, a prime candidate for the worst sci-fi ( or possibly
any kind of ) film of all time. A man-eating carpet terrorises a
town, sucking conveniently unmoving people into itself. It is finally
killed by being run into with a car. They should have just hoovered
it and polished it off with a dose of shake'n'vac. Apparently the
film is narrated because the director knocked the sound equipment
into the lake during a scene and couldn't afford to replace it so
overdubbed the narrative himself during post-production.
