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

DVD Review: Dirty disks
Summary: 2 Stars

The disks came with a sludge on the read surface that had to be cleaned before the DvDs could be used.

DVD Review: About as bad as a movie from a book could be
Summary: 1 Stars

Donald Hamilton created the ultimate hard-nosed spy in Matt Helm, a man who would always do what had to be done. Somehow this became used as a farce by Dean Martin. One can only wonder why the filmmakers would want to waste money buying rights to Matt Helm when they didn't intend to use anything from the books, or create a character even vaguely comparable. Even the James Bond series in its early incarnations had some relationships to Fleming, although it too ultimately degenerated into farce until Daniel rescued it. But this Dean Martin nonsense--stupid, poorly paced, poorly written and most of all---utterly irrelevant to the great books that are now, alas, out of print.

DVD Review: O, How Times Have Changed
Summary: 3 Stars

When I was about eight, the Matt Helm movies were new. I watched them all at the drive-in theatre where my mother worked. And I loved them.

Attitudes toward women have changed immensely since then, making them a little more difficult to watch.

On the upside, Helm, as played by Dean Martin, doesn't take himself too seriously. He always _almost_ gets the girl, but rarely, erm, scores. Despite the sexism, the women often outshine, out think and out perform Helm and the other men.

Fun. Very 1960s. Definitely not for everyone.

DVD Review: Fun Films
Summary: 4 Stars

Pure fun, a great way to share older movies with my high school daughters. The love the fashion and the fun feel to these films. Well worth the money!

DVD Review: Classic Dean Martin!
Summary: 5 Stars

Loved this DVD! Showed Dean at his wittiest... great parody of the super agent genre.

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

Dean Martin stars as the original swinger agent, Matt Helm, in this four-disc set including: THE SILENCERS, MURDERERS ROW, THE WRECKING CREW, and THE AMBUSHERS.

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.
