Despite what seemed a lack of real action, I pretty much enjoyed my first encounter with Dean Martin's Matt Helm in The Wrecking Crew
2 September 2012
Though I know this was the last of the Dean Martin/Matt Helm pictures, it's the very first one I've seen just now on YouTube. I have to admit right up front that while the beginning with the premise just being explained was pretty exciting, I thought much of the rest of the action and fighting were lacking but then that may have been because the sound and dialogue synchronization was ahead of the actual picture by a few seconds on the upload. Still, it wasn't too bad what was depicted and with gorgeous women like Tina Louise, Nancy Kwan, Elke Sommer, and especially Sharon Tate as a redhead, how can this film fail in my eyes? Yes, Dino seemed a little mature when sharing scenes with some of them but he sure seemed to having sooo much fun and that's infectious! And that score by Hugo Montenegro sure was groovy fun! This picture sure made the swinging sixties seem like such fun, that's for sure! Okay, I think I've said enough so on that note, The Wrecking Crew is very much worth a look.
