DV-R ALERT!

Carol Lynley is a beautiful manic depressive sex kitten who recoils in fright at the the touch of a man who falls for virile Stuart Whitman as an actor hired to pretend to be bonkers so he can discover where homicidal gardner Roddy McDowall hid the loot he stole from his rich murdered victim in the campy, unintentional laugh-fest Shock Treatment (1964). They are all inmates of a looney bin run by Dr. Lauren Bacall who turns out to be crazier than a shithouse rat. Catch it on the Fox Movie Channel on May 9 at 4PM.

SOCK IT TO ME!

Happy Belated Birthday to Judy Carne of Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In. This petite auburn-haired Brit became famous for her Sock-It-To-Me bit where usually bikini-clad with her body painted with far-out slogans she would get dowsed by a bucket of water. I also loved her on the one season sitcom Love on a Rooftop with Peter Duell. Judy had a rough time of it in the Eighties and Nineties due to a drug addiction and let’s hope she is still clean and sober. Check out this mod clip of Judy with Arte Johnson in a takeoff on Laugh-In for Sears.

Busty, bug-eyed blonde Joy Harmon also celebrated a recent birthday. You can read about her infamous car scene from the classic Paul Newman movie Cool Hand Luke in my upcoming article for Cinema Retro magazine. Joy will also be featured in my new book, Glamour Girls of Sixties Hollywood.

HE’LL MONSTER MASH NO MORE

Bobby “Boris” Pickett passed away last week. He is best known for his smash 1962 dance classic “The Monster Mash,” which got all the teens up on the dance floor at Halloween time. But Bobby was also an actor. I interviewed him for my Hollywood Surf and Beach Movies book where he told me wonderful anecdotes about the making of It’s a Bikini World with Tommy Kirk, Deborah Walley and Drive-in Dream Girls Suzie Kaye and Lori Williams.

Check out this cool montage featuring Bobby singing his #1 hit.

VRROOOM, VRROOOM!

Set those DV-Rs for April 28 at 2:15AM on TCM for the Russ Meyer cult camp classic, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! one of my favorite films of all time.

Tura Satana, Lori Williams, and Haji play go-go dancing, fast-driving, ass-kicking Glamazons who don’t take any shit from men. After desposing of a conceited hot rodder and taking his bimbo girlfriend hostage, the cleavage-enhanced trio come upon an old geezer and his dumb ass muscle-bound son who supposedly have hidden thousands of dollars in their house. Tura and Haji want to get their greedy hands on the loot while Lori wants to get her hands on the muscle stud. Plans go awry when a second son shows up and figures out these gals ain’t no ladies.
