Columbia Pictures tried to create a tongue-in-cheek American James Bond with this, the first of five motion pictures based on the character of Matt Helm, a spy created in a series of novels by Donald Hamilton. Dean Martin stars as Helm, a boozing, womanizing cad of a spy coaxed out of retirement by ex-girlfriend Tina Batori (Daliah Lavi). His mission: stop the evil Big O organization, whose leader, Tung-Tze (Victor Buono), schemes to sabotage an atomic missile and thus spark World War III.
Unrated, 1 hr. 42 min.

A tawdry action comedy.
I dont know which is my fav, this or THE AMBUSHERS. Its a bit over-the-top, but still makes me laff. Luv DM & SS always.

an entertaining spy romp. no more ridiculous or tongue-in-cheek than some of the lesser Roger Moore Bond films. Dean Martin tries to be Cary Grant in a few scenes.
