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.
