    • Trivia
      Although one of the greatest female dancers in the history of the movie musical, Cyd Charisse singing in films was almost always dubbed. A young Vikki Carr performed her singing in The Silencers (1966).
    • Goofs
      Lovey is seen to be wearing a bra after she has supposedly climbed naked from the bath, been dried and then had a bathrobe placed on her.
    • Quotes

      Tung-Tze: And of course, Russia will be blamed. There will be accusations and counter-accusations. The 2 great powers will once again be on a collision course. For them... it will be the end. For us - the beginning.

    Mr. Cool Dean Martin
    He's super spy Matt Helm.All the girls love him and all the men envy him.And some want to kill him.In the 1960's they made four Matt Helm movies.The Silencers (1966) is the first one of them directed by Phil Karlson.In this movie Matt Helm's job is to prevent WWIII.Not an easy job to do, except for Matt Helm.Matt Helm movies were James Bond parodies.They did the same Austin Powers did some decades later.And this agent could also sing! The actor who portrayed Matt Helm was super cool Dean Martin.The leading lady of this first movie was portrayed by super sexy Stella Stevens (Gail).Daliah Lavi plays Tina.The singing and dancing beauty Cyd Charisse is Sarita.The movie history has pretty much forgotten these movies.I found The Silencers rather entertaining.Matt Helm movies look very 60's.It's probably the nostalgia that raises the value of these movies.And the super cool Dean Martin.

    FAQ1

    • Watching on Amazon Prime. At 51:43 I would swear that's Martin Landau in frame. Can't get a clear shot of him (dark) but even his posture and walk are telling.
