Come and join us as Dean Martin continues his goofily good-natured romp through mod sixties territory as boozy, chick magnet superspy Matt Helm. We’re screening an I.B. Technicolor print of this third installment of the Helm series, following Dino as he investigates how a secret government flying saucer was hijacked by a revolutionary leader (Albert Salmi) in the Mexican jungle. He takes along a former saucer pilot and fellow ICE agent, Janice Rule (The Swimmer, 3 Women), whose memory of the hijacking is blank. Along the way, Helm runs afoul of beautiful villainess Senta Berger (Major Dundee) who works for the evil organization, The Big O. James Gregory, Kurt Kasznar and Beverly Adams round out the cast.
“He gets boozed and stays boozed, and there are more would-be jokes about drinking in this movie than you could distill from an entire weekend of W. C. Fields. There is even a fight sequence inside a giant vat of beer, and kindly old Matt Helm dispatches one of his enemies by pushing him into a beer intake valve.” – Roger Ebert
