As if the films of David Miller weren't already tough enough to fathom, his name appears on this, the sort of glossy nonsense that brought British cinema to it's knees in the late sixties.
Calling this film 'Hammerhead' is like calling a Bond film 'Blofeld' since the title refers to villain Peter Vaughan, described as "a completely evil man" who "deals in human depravity".
TV star Vince Edwards (who shows his prowess as a spy by admiringly attributing a room full of obvious copies to painters like Modigliani and Rubens and being told a man is a former jockey opines "a little man?") inhabits a world of yachts and glamour girls (including Judy Geeson as a nightclub singer - obviously dubbed - called Sue Trenton who considers teabags a "nasty American custom".
Any resemblance to the Matt Helm films is further confirmed by the presence of Beverly Addams who'd played Lovey Kravitz.
