Summertainment: Tom of THUMB in Drop That Ocean, Feller (1966)

Tom of T.H.U.M.B. and his sidekick, Swinging Jack, are headed for the beach for some R & R, but someone's spoiling the fun by stealing the ocean. Here's "Drop That Ocean, Feller":



Tom was clearly meant to be a satire not only of the spy genre, but perhaps also Get Smart, which was in its 2nd season on NBC at the time. ABC, apparently, just couldn't resist, but the six minute time frame doesn't do this story justice.

Rating: B--.
