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. This time, secret agent Helm must prevent a billion-dollar gold hijacking, masterminded by the unspeakable Count Massimo Contini (Nigel Green). Aiding and abetting our hero is all-thumbs Scandinavian spy Freya Carlson (a brilliant comic turn by the late Sharon Tate). Sidebar: future

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 steals every scene she's in. As for Deano, he's firmly into his seemingly 24/7 inebriated gimmick here; a persona that would take him right through the 70s.
So, fun and light. See it for the late Sharon Tate in her prime.
