The Perils of Pauline is a 1967 American comedy film based on the movie serial of the same name.
Inspired by the Batman TV series, with the same kind of florid villainy and dauntless heroics, this TV pilot starred Pamela Austin, best known for her appearances in Dodge commercials at the time (urging viewers to "Join the Dodge Rebellion!"), as Pauline, with Pat Boone as her staunch protector.
The pilot did not find a sponsor or a network, and the three sample shows were compiled into a theatrical feature film and released by Universal Pictures. Extra footage for this was shot in December 1966.
Universal's home-movie company, Castle Films, turned it back into a serial, excerpting four episodes from the feature.
The movie enjoyed neither the commercial nor critical success of the earlier versions of The Perils of Pauline.
