Matt Helm Lounge (The Silencers/ Murderers Row/The Ambushers/The Wrecking Crew)

THE SILENCERS: The first of the series of Matt Helm films, the big cheese of Big O, an organization that wants to sabotage the American atomic missile system. It's up to secret agent Helm to save the day.

MURDERER'S ROW: The handsome top agent Matt dies a tragic death in his bathtub - the women mourn about the loss. However it's just faked for his latest top-secret mission: He shall find Dr. Solaris, inventor of the Helium laser beam, powerful enough to destroy a whole continent. It seems Dr. Solaris has been kidnapped by a criminal organization. The trace leads to the Cote D'Azur.

THE AMBUSHERS: A government space saucer is hijacked mid-flight by a powerful laser beam under the control of Jose Ortega, who then proceeds to rape the female pilot, Sheila Sommars. ICE sends agent Matt Helm to Acapulco with Sheila to recover the saucer, under the guise of Matt taking fashion photographs of beautiful models. Matt is temporarily sidetracked, falling prey to the seductive charms of enemy agent Franceca Madeiros.

THE WRECKING CREW: The count has stolen enough gold to cause a financial crisis in the world markets so I.C.E. sends in ace spy Matt Helm to stop him. As Matt works alone, the British send in Freya to aid Matt, but it seems that Freya causes more problems than she solves.

Go 60's !

I've been a big fan of James Bond, Derek Flint, and Matt Helm (Dean Martin) for ever. Anyone who is a Dean Martin fan and a follower of the film style spoofs of the 60's and 70's will enjoy this collection. A great one to own!

Just kill me now.

If you enjoyed the "Austin Powers" movies, you should really enjoy these movies.
If you are a fan of Dean Martin, you should enjoy these movies.
If you enjoy the Matt Helm books, avoid these movies like the plague!
I have to admit that when I first saw them on TV in the mid-70's, I really enjoyed them (I think I was 13 or 14 at the time), then I read the books they were based on and realized what Hollywood had done to them. I have watched these movie since then and I always wanted to ask Mr. Hamilton why he let the movie industry do that to his character Matt Helm. I have heard that one of the studios has purchased the rights to the books again and I really hope that they don't do this to the series again and ruin it even more for those of that really enjoy the books. Get the books and read them. I find them a lot more enjoyable that listening to "Deano" crooning and boozing his way through a bunch of poorly scripted spoofs of the Bond series. Unfortunately you will probably have to settle for used, since the publishers are no longer printing any of the series that I have found, and Mr Hamilton has passed away.
PS. What in the world is I.C.E.? Matt works for a agency that has no official name or designation.

Great Memories...

This set was great. It brought back so many memories of my days growing up. When originally released, I saw all of these corny films during their first week out. I was in love with all of the ladies and still find them hot today. The acting is bad, the scripts are one step above Get Smart, but I loved them any way. This is a must have for any Matt Helm fan.
