Oh I love this film . The best Matt Helm film and Sharon's greatest performance.  I have seen this film so many times and never get tired of it. It epitomizes the late sixties to a tee. I would love to get in a time machine and live in the sixties for a year or so.

Well yeah.. Sharon Tate made some great comedy/drama ala Lombard. Who knows what could have been...

[martinez418]

@nb45001 He's there sitting in front of the lady with the blue dress time @00:34 and there he is starring at Dean and the Chinese girl talk, just behind them at @1:35 . And there he is again @3:45 and so on looking at Dean then later fighting him. That's Chuck!! cool.

[nb45001]

[martinez418]

Was the music playing when Elke Sommers enters ever released? If so what's it called?

I thought Way of the Dragon was the first movie where Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris worked together, but it looks like they worked together before in this movie, with Bruce choreographing the action and Chuck playing a henchman who gets beat up by Dean Martin... although we all know Chuck Norris would easily KO everyone there in real life... besides Bruce Lee of course.

@bagzie And handsome. I don't think Dean ever looked better than he does in this one.

@sabinoson Mike Stone doubled for Dean in this movie. Mike was the first Longbeach Internationals karate champ (won in '64 & '65), considered one of the best karate competitors in the USA during the sixties. He was a friend/student/workout partner of Bruce Lee's, Bruce got him the job on Wrecking Crew. Mike Stone would later gain some notoriety as the karate instructor who "stole" Priscilla away from Elvis.

@sterreco - Sharon had some the best campy lines in "Valley of the Dolls". Yeah she could have been a Lombard like campy funny actress.

@profwaffel I sort of knew it, .but I forgot! (Read about it years ago. Saw pics of him showing Ms.Tate how to throw kicks.) Also, after slowing down the dvd during the fight at the restaurant, it also looks like Bruce might have doubled for Dino. (Confirmation anyone?) "Dean Martin" throws a high and very clean hook kick to one of the bad guy's heads and it looks suspiciously like Bruce Lee did it. Also trying to spot Chuck Norris and Joe Lewis in some of the fights.

@sabinoson Bruce Lee was the fight choreographer, but you probably knew that already?
