Doris’ second feature was filmed partly at The Coral Castle (in Homestead, Florida), which is a sprawling mansion, built from Coral rocks and has an interesting history itself. The film concerns the exploits of two rocket scientists who blast off to the moon in a toy rocket ship. A three million dollar inheritance financed the expedition. They sit right next to each other but talk to each other via radio mikes and headphones, and they sleep through their landing. When they get out of the rocket shop in goofy pajama-type outfits, they find an area on the moon that looks a lot like a nudist camp in Florida. The woman are topless with bathing suit bottoms, they have fuzzy pipe cleaner antennas and speak telepathically to each other. Wishman makes a cameo in the first scene. You’ll see a theater marquee’ that says ‘Hideout in the Sun’ on it. Shelby Livingston is one of the moon cuties and would later have a bigger part in H.G. Lewis’ Maniacs
