Dean Martin is no James Coburn, that's for sure. Coburn does sauve so much better. Still, there was the sight of the lovely Daliah Lavi to behold, so it ain't all bad. I'll certainly check out the rest of the Helm series, they may get better....or worse! |
I remember when I first started watching those Matt Helm films,I also had a little trouble getting used to Dean Martin as Helm (and his singing) but I ended up enjoying all the sequels.
My favourite is Murderer's Row btw.
