Standout Aspects

Costume

Stella Stevens' parade of impossible minidresses and go-go boots.

Practical Effects

Absurd gadgetry: gun-lighter, knife-belt, exploding bra.

Acting

Dean Martin barely pretending he's not just playing Dean Martin.

Best for:Friends: Drinking game: sip every time Dino leers at the camera.·Rewatch: Spot the blatant Bond rip-offs and wink at them.·Background: Perfect for folding laundry to explosive mod fashion.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Relentless 1960s casual sexism played for smirks.

Trivia

Dean Martin was so committed to his persona that he reportedly did many scenes genuinely intoxicated.

Cultural

This launched four Helm films as MGM's desperate answer to Bond mania, with Martin demanding and receiving more money than Sean Connery.
