SHARON TATE stands out in her BEST COMIC effort The fighting scenes and the idea that Denmark has MOUNTAINS makes this in the class of a turkey - I mean - a spoof is OK - but you still have to do your research.... What if we found a wonderful beach in the film The Sound Of Music(with Austrian locations???)???
What saves this film is the comedy of Sharon Tate. She`s right on target every time she appears and the film should be granted many TV-screenings because of her... The music is pure 60s(quite amusing...) The scene in?which Matt Helm, upon seeing a dead Linka(Elke Sommer), informs Freya Carlson "That could have been you" - and her stubborn denials - puts tears 2 1s eyes - knowing what happened to Sharon a year later....
It is campy but by now I enjoy the film because it is so hilarious.... If you watch Sharon`s films... you`ll see she works on her magic differently in all her six films..... She`s a diabolique witch in EYE OF THE DEVIL, a fragile starlet in VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, and a teasing ill-fated-teenager in THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS(all 1967)....
Fun movie! I need this on DVD! I saw "The Wrecking Crew" when I was kid on TV in the 80's. I only saw it once but never forgot it. It was funny and a bit like "Austin Powers" meets "James Bond". Sharon Tate was beautiful, I think she was wonderful in comedy. She plays a tough but sexy undercover agent like "Charlies Angels", she does some great leg kicks, I read she worked with "Bruce Lee" for this! I think Dean Martin was a bit tipsy during the filming LOL! Seems like he was having alot of fun in the Matt Helm movies. I'm hopeing this will come out on DVD soon, I'd love to see it again!
A classic masterpiece I'm not familiar with the other movies in the series but, apparently, this is the only one I need to see.
Sharon Tate is the star of this film. This is her best role, finely displaying her talent for comedy. From the moment she comes on the scene as a clumsy Danish tour guide to the last, where she seduces Dean Martin (Matt Helm), she was well suited for her role.
To all serious movie collectors, this is a must have for your collection.
So bad, its good This flick was hysterical, on every level. It was funny at points it was supposed to be, and when it wasn't. Not to be missed - especially since Dean was tanked throughout, and slurs his way through the script. Sharon is actually very very funny. I love this film.
