while not exactly offensive and the 1967 version of the peril of pauline be certainly moronic . the title might lead you to expect a tribute to pearl white ( the original pauline in the 1914 silent 20 episode serial ) but for that you would be good serve by the 1947 version star betty hutton . this 1967 version be like a mix of casino royale and the weak of the elvis movie . bad of all it be not a blend of these but more like someone scotch tap together segment from each so that the thing skip back and forth between the two style . what unity there be in the production come from the pairing of pamela austin ( pauline ) and pat boone ( george steadman ) and a good match because both lack even the most basic of act skill ( imagine mandy moore play opposite dan quayle ) . austin would later play opposite john aston in evil roy slade and with the talent disparity between them actually painful to watch . in the mid 60 she be the dodge rebellion girl and a such she be feature in a similar series of perilous situation imagine sandra dee in a dark blue jumpsuit . when the automaker ad agency replace her with the dodge fever girl someone get the bright idea to showcase her in a feature film . what story there be here begin with pauline grow up in the baskerville foundling home run by the actress who play mrs. chatsworth osborne sr. on dobie gillis . george fall in love with her ( pauline not mrs osborne ) and sabotage several opportunity she have to be adopt . george leave to seek his fortune and 19 year old pauline get a job tutor a young oil rich middle eastern prince . when he try to add the attractive blonde to his harem she run away and go from peril to peril . these include african pygmy and a 99½ year old millionaire who want to freeze her until his one year old grandson be old enough for marriage and the movie industry and and the russian space program . all this be intend to be silly and charm but manage only the silly part . there be some effort to incorporate a silent film look to the action sequence by simulate the under cranking of a camera ( which speed up the action ) . unfortunately everything else ( film stock and production design and editing ) be depressingly 1960 . nothing here even approach the image of pearl white strap to a log move toward a buzz saw or tie to railway track wait for the approaching train . then again and what do i know . i be only a child .
