Dr Goldfoot and his Pathécolor outfits | Vincent Price cuts a dash as the dastardly villain

Here's a fun montage I've put together of all of the hip threads that Vinnie wore in the two Dr Goldfoot films. His super villain must have been moonlighting as a lounge singer judging from those satin brocade dinner jackets, while his undertakers garb is pure sophistication (love those grey gloves). Not sure about the floor length red coat, though. It looks like a reject from Fall of the House of Usher.

101 Films hatches Dr Goldfoot's nefarious schemes on Blu-ray in the UK

Coming 25 January 2016 is the UK Blu-ray debut of AIPs 1960s spy spoofs Dr Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine and Dr Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs from 101 Films. 

Both films will also be available separately on DVD and in a Blu-ray or  DVD box-set containing both films and a bonus DVD featuring Master of the World. 

According to 101 Films, the transfers are from MGM but there are no extras, apart from the bonus film. But if you are not fussed about having an audio commentary (which came with the Kino Lorber releases last year - with the fab David Del Valle and filmmaker David De Coteau), then this is a cost effective alternative. Plus, Zavvi have £5 off at the moment, making the Blu-ray box-set just £19.99.

Kino Lorber to release Vincent Price's Dr Goldfoot films on Blu-ray in October

 
Yep! You heard it right, Kino Lorber will be releasing 1965's Dr Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine and its 1966 sequel, Dr Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs on Blu-ray in the US on 12 October.

No word as yet on the specifics or the extras, but let's hope Kino are wise enough to include the Shindig episode, The Weird World of Dr Goldfoot, which featured some musical numbers to attract the teenyboppers, and the Italian release of Girl Bombs, Le spie vengono dal semifreddo, which was a hugely different film to the AIP release, and a vehicle for Italian comics Franco and Ciccio.

To get you in the mood, here's that infamous Shindig episode in full, which comes from my dedicated Vincent Price YouTube channel.
