Credit a post at the blog Fists and .45s! for turning me on to the espionage comedy with music Out of Sight. Released in 1966 and starring John Daly as a butler impersonating his secret agent boss, the movie owes a good deal to American International’s beach movies, I’d say, extending even to including musical guests: an abundance here, with Freddie and the Dreamers performing a couple numbers and Gary Lewis and the Playboys on hand at the beginning for one. The trivial plot is really just a framework for the music and the comedy, which includes agents out to get rid of rock musicians and others trying to destroy the hot rod ZZR, designed and built by Barris Kustoms.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 40 for 2021.
