Sergeant Dead Head (1965)

American International Pictures
Directed by Norman Taurog
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, MGM Limited Edition Collection)

This is basically a beach movie set on an Air Force base, with Frankie Avalon in three roles. First, he is an accident-prone private who causes havoc on the base. He climbs aboard a rocket headed for orbit with a chimp. He comes back with a different personality, unfortunately an obnoxious playboy. Air Force brass decide to cover up the personality change by switching him with a lookalike. This other Frankie is shy and quiet. His pretty fiance, Deborah Walley, tries to sort it all out.
