Bésame monstruo (1969, Spain)

A swinging sixties film without much plot. The further adventures of the 'Red Lips' gals - Diana (Janine Reynaud) and Regina (Rossana Yanni) put them on the trail of a mad doctor and his race of Frankenstein-style monster hunks.

They even find time to perform a sort of borderline female to male not-really-transvestite nightclub act on saxophones. While they are performing Professor Bertrand tries to pass some vital information to them; but it is difficult to hold a conversation while you are playing the saxophone in a cabaret act; and Bertrand is dead before he can pass anything on.

The film was a Spanish-German co-production and the internet movie database lists Küß mich, Monster as the primary title. It was also released as Castle of the Doomed, and Kiss Me, Monster and the English language version seems to be dubbed from a Spanish original.
