Dan Rowan and Dick Martin — stars of the hit NBC TV comedy sketch series Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In — bookend actress Carol Lynley, the three of them riding some weirdly elasticized bikes — using their weirdly elasticized legs. A publicity shot from the 1969 MGM “contemporary action-adventure-romantic-suspense-horror-melodramatic comedy” The Maltese Bippy.

Here’s the snipe:  “MALTESE BIPPY stars Dan Rowan, Carol Lynely and Dick Martin may be smiling now as they relax on the set of their new movie but they’ll need those long legs and big-wheeled bikes (courtesy of the photographer’s distorting trickery) soon enough. Behind them is the cemetery, a major locale in the movie, where spooky things happen when it gets dark.”
