Did you know
- TriviaIt was Karl Malden's idea to have his character speak in a different accent constantly. He thought it would be an amusing gimmick.

- Quotes
Julian Wall: [Talking to DC by radio about Helm's newest alias] Well, what is he doing here?
Voice from DC: He can't come back to the States because if he does, his ex-wife slaps him in jail for back alimony.

Featured review
This second entry of the Matt Helms (Dean Martin) spy-spoof series is no better or worse than the Silencers or The Ambushers, but is a notch above the final entry, The Wrecking Crew. For one thing, Ann-Margret was never more beautiful (face and body) than from that time period. Energy to spare, she's on a constant high of momentum. Also included is the lovely Camilla Sparv (Michael Caine's girlfriend at the time) and she always adds class. Plus, Beverly Adams as the gorgeous Lovie Kravzit. Dino is pretty much working on 1/2 power, but does his job.
A 5 out of 10. Best performance = Ann-Margret. These Helm films will seem better now than when they were released in the mid to late 60's. Just fun stuff (like Casino Royale) with tons of babes and decent villains. Check it out!
