director Phil Karlson
loosely based on the Matt Helm novels by Donald Hamilton
music Elmer Bernstein, theme sung by Vikki Carr
costume Moss Mabry, Sy Devore
starring Dean Martin, Stella Stevens, Daliah Lavi, Victor Buono, Nancy Kovack, Cyd Charisse, Beverly Adams

What kind of secret agent drives a station wagon?! Everyone in the ’60s had a spy show, but Dean Martin as tough guy Matt Helm brings the genre to new lows. Dino plays Matt as Dino. He drinks and sweats and waits for another beautiful woman to further the plot. Meanwhile, adorable Stella Stevens and the delicious Dalia Lavi dodge bullets and karate chop their way through glamorous gowns and structured hair styles to save Arizona from a nuclear missle… um, yeah. At age 45, Cyd Charisse smolders as showgirl Sarita: victim of one of the strangest dance costumes ever!
