Saw this on the big screen back in '66 when I was 16 and yeah, boy, I got hot watching it! My mom was next to me and I am sure she was regretting she and my dad had taken me to such an adult film! I think my dad must have gotten hot too and I wonder what my parents talked about after we got home! Yeah, the costume was a kind of dopey design but that body sure saved it!
I was in my early teens when I first saw this and believe me it was IMPRESSIVE! And it still is. Cyd Charisse is wearing basically a one piece bathing suit but is light years hotter than any of the current crop of all but unclad H'wood starlets. And that vocal by Vikki Carr--yeah--it got hot!
Flint and Helm are the best of spoofdom. Always best to watch with gin martini in hand. First time I saw this was with my dad, age 9 or 10. My eyes almost popped out of my head when Charisse appeared, enrobed and dangling. My mother came into the room and told me it was a grown-up movie, and it was time for me to retire for the evening.
I think Cyd Charisse is in her mid 40s here. I adore Cyd Charisse she defined elegance and grace and those legs..they didn't stop and she didn't either.
Right u r mca1218. I feel lucky 2 discover her on film. Cyd Charisse in most anything is the very definition of Grace & Beauty. Dont know why some focus on just her outfit instead of admiring this sexy lady is stunning & moving like that at age 45! Which I still can't believe. That in itself trumps what she's wearing! But I didnt mind the cape, the tassels, her tiny waist, or her legs! She was luscious & beautiful in every way and has a special place in my video library under C for CLASSY!!!
I have to agree with you myself 6coz. The Matt Helm movies were very tounge in cheek and a blast to watch. Hiw about Thw Wrecking Crew...Sharon Tate? Anyway Ms Charisse danced the hell out of this number in spite of the prop costume. Didnt you notice the reaction the audience gives... This was a Joke you orbes.
First of all, get a clue people. You are obviously lost. That costume was perfectly in synch with that whole tongue in cheek movie - "The Silencers" - a spoof of James Bond movies! As was her costume. Jesus H Christ - morons! Doah!!!!!! As for the lip-syncing thing, that was more to do with the technology of 43 years ago than anything. But even nowadays it gets screwed up. Have we forgotten Ashley Simpson on SNL!? And by the way, something else-here's a pearl-age is just a number. She's proof!!
I never understood the excessive comments about the costume. It's a bodysuit- spots or no- and what a body it fitted!! Ms. Charisse was nothing short of an amazon, even in her years as a Vegas dancer in the 1960's-70's alongside her crooner husband. And I only mention her age because she completely defies it in this clip. What a dame!!
incredible... cyd charisse (recently died) has not an equal dancing... not even Rita Hayworth, not even eleanor parker... whoever... and she´s not a young woman here
Cyd Charisse was indeed an incredible beauty... as was the lovely Daliah Lavi (the exotic beauty in the green dress). Love this clip

I've read on a previous post that Cyd was 45 when she did this movie. Damn, I wish I look like that at 31!

The costume is fun you morons. And 45 is not old I don't know why people are shocked to know she's 45 here, that is hardly a grandma.

I'm sorry , but the lip-syncing is more obvious than Britney Spears . Was that intentional?
