The Wrecking Crew (1968)

A secret agent (Dean Martin) is assigned by the U.S. government to track down a billion dollar gold shipment that was stolen en route by train from Denmark to England. The fourth and final entry in the Matt Helm series though the end credits announce the next Matt Helm film would be THE RAVAGERS. This is the movie that killed off the franchise. It's sloppy film making, cheap looking and whatever wit it may have had early in the series had long since evaporated. Typical of the film's juvenile sexual innuendo, Sharon Tate spouts, "I've been ordered to work under you" while Dean Martin leers. Set in Denmark but obviously shot in Southern California with antiseptic violence. When Elke Sommer is riddled with bullets from a machine gun, there's not a trace of blood much less bullet holes! Other than the tasty eye candy (in addition to Tate and Sommer, there's Nancy Kwan and Tina Louise), there's nothing to recommend. Hugo Montenegro should get some kind of award however for writing one of the worst film scores to assault a film. Directed by Phil Karlson. With Nigel Green and John Larch.
