i be not familiar with the other movie in the matt helm series but this be all i need to watch . sharon tate play an mi5 agent pose a a clumsy danish tour guide and freya carlson and who be to work with helm . tate state at the beginning of her career that she want to do light comedy and the wrecking crew prove that that genre be indeed a perfect fit for her . this movie be the highlight of her all too brief act career and my heart ache to think of what could have be . dean martin act skill leave a lot to be desire but he and tate have great on screen chemistry . the rest of the cast read like a who who of hollywood during it second ( and last ) golden age represent nancy kwan and elke sommer and nigel green and tina louise ( of gilligan island in her small role of lola medina ) and among others . you have to remind yourself to close your mouth during the opening credit . i be in love with the 60 fashion and music and the fact that we get to see more of sharon tate ( whereas the rest of her movie and with the exception of the 13 chair a or k or a 12 plus 1 and be primarily small role where you do not get to see or hear her much ) . good stuff .
