Movie Info

Cahiers du Cinema favorite Phil Karlson may have directed the "Matt Helm" extravaganza The Wrecking Crew, but the only "auteur" around these parts is star Dean Martin, coasting through yet another sexy spy romp.

My favourite of the silly Helm movies. None of the films are great by any stretch of the imagination, but they are fun. And here, one of the main reasons for this film being enjoyable is the stunningly beautiful Sharon Tate who manages to convey girlish innocence with the edge of the femme fatale here. She frankly

Dean Martin wanted to do more Matt Helm until he had found out in what happened to Sharon Tate, he was heart-broken over her loss and her senseless murder.
