Amazing Dobermans, The (1976)

aka: Lucky

A bigger budgeted sequel to the earlier films The Doberman Gang and The Daring Dobermans. This time, the pinschers are back and they’re even more fun than before. A federal agent (James Franciscus) taking on a powerful racketeer enlists the aid of the talented canines and their owner (the oddly cast Fred Astaire) who is a quirky Bible-quoting ex-con man. The last film of the series and one of Astaire’s lesser known pictures–worth seeing for that alone. Also stars Barbara Eden. And with Jack Carter and Billy Barty.
