The Maltese Bippy is a 1969 film directed by Norman Panama and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.[1] The film is a vehicle for comedy team Dan Rowan and Dick Martin, who had recently found fame in their television show Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. "Bippy" is a catchphrase from their show.
Plot[]
Business has never been so bad for Sam Smith and Ernest Gray, partners in soft-core porn-film production. After their movie set is busted by the authorities, the hapless pair become prime suspects in a nearby cemetery murder. The mental pressure of near-destitution and criminal investigation becomes overwhelming for Ernest. So much so, he comes to believe he has mutated into America's first werewolf. He begins to question whether he -- or rather, his lycanthropic self -- might be the culprit responsible for homicide in the neighborhood graveyard.
