Maltese Bippy

In 1969, Dan Rowan and Dick Martin had one of the hippest, funniest TV shows around - Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In.

The tried to capitalize on this humour in the horror spoof flick The Maltese Bippy. Rowan and Martin play the producer and star, respectively, of naughty films, and they get involved with murders and missing treasure in a supposedly haunted house.

Unfortunately, the movie didn't work. It wasn't very funny and it tanked at the box office. I caught in on TV on December 23, 1977.

It's not available on DVD. You can read more about it on the Chroma-Noise site.
