Girl in Gold Boots
Girl in Gold Boots is a 1969 drama about the seedy underworld of Go-Go dancing, directed by Ted V. Mikels, who also directed The Astro-Zombies.
Summary
Michele, a young woman who works at a dead-end job, is convinced by an obviously untrustworthy man named Buz to go with him to Los Angeles, where he claims to have connections that can land her a job as a Go-Go dancer. The two head to LA, along with a hitchhiker named Critter. Once in Los Angeles, Michele gets a job and learns how connected her employers are to the drug trade.
Other notes
Nearly half of the songs in this music-laden movie, including the title song, were written by singer-songwriter and sound engineer Chris Howard, who appears as himself and is backed by a band called "The Third World" in the credits (not to be confused with the famous reggae band Third World). One scene features bongo player Preston Epps, who had achieved some fame a decade earlier with his 1959 pop hit with "Bongo Rock". Girl in Gold Boots was featured as a Season 10 episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Skips in the print used by MST3K led to some amusing continuity problems, including a scene in a diner in which Buz suddenly appears in his seat next to Michele and Critter, as if he teleports in during their conversation.
