SILENCERS

Fun movie better than Austin Powers sort of a spy spoof. . A cool spy drives a station wagon? Dean plays this with tongue in cheek humor though it is pretending to be a drama is pretty silly really. Love when radio in car plays Frank Sinatra and he dislikes.. When Dean comes on the radio Matt Helm likes him of course. Fun to watch.

This first Matt Helm movie is a must-have if you're a Dean Martin fan, especially at this price! This is wide-screen and I didn't see any censorship as some of the really old reviews here mentioned. I wish they were still producing all 3 other Matt Helm movies on DVD! If you have never seen a Matt Helm movie, you will need to keep an open mind. Dino was widely known as the "King of Cool" and this movie as silly as it is, definitely shows why he got that nickname. I mean who else can pull off a full bar in the back seat of his "station wagon" and still be suave about it. This movie clearly helped inspire Mike Myers in creating Austin Powers and many of the other characters in those movies, more so than the James Bond films. If you're looking for a serious movie, don't look here. If you're looking for classic old-time comedy, this is for you!

Dig this classic spy flick! I enjoy seeing the state of the art "spyness" from Hollywood back in the fab sixties. Computers as large as a tiny house, and lighters that do over 80 nasty functions against the baddies. ( But we only see a few of them). Growing up in those groovy times makes flicks like this worth watching to enjoy the fun and Dino is one of the kings of cool, ratcheting up the fun even higher. Don't set expectations in the sphere of today's flicks, but enjoy this for what it is...mad villains, hot chicks, outrageous bachelor pad, a few silly guns, some fights and explosions...sounds like a 60's flick to me. Fun.

I saw this when it opened and loved it. I still love it! Sit back, relax, and enjoy that innocent lost society, back in the days before the PC Police began pooh-poohing adult life.

I got this as kind of a joke for my husband, who remembers watching it as a child. I can only imagine the jaw dropping response he must have had seeing this the first time around, since the movie opens with several obviously professional strippers performing most of their act (no actual nudity). The makeup is thick, the hair is high and the acting is heavy, all to excellent effect! Whatever happened to women with such wonderful curves and small waists??? And Dean, what can you say about Dean, his acting is delivered with a wink to the camera, as if he knows he's bad and doesn't care since it's all a big joke anyway. I throughly enjoyed this look back.

Man i love this movie. I just really miss great movies like this. But why dont they make the other Matt Helm movies individually instead of putting them all in one and charging outrageous prices?

Perhaps as a silent film this Matt Helm film would have been more entertaining. It's a period piece, a send up of 007 films but early Bond films were always satiric so this is a joke piled on top of a joke, which is not a good film recipe. Stella Stevens is funny and very sexy ( turns out she's from Mississippi) but it's not worth your time nor your money to view this film - amazingly they went ahead and shot two more in this series. You just couldn't kill Deano, he could sing he was handsome but he never could act and he did hundreds of films where he stinks repeatedly and The Silencer is just one of the them.

you have to appreciate the campiness of a Dean Martin/Matt Helm movie. He clearly does not take the role of the movie seriously and has way too much fun making them. That is where the entertainment lies, watching him have fun in the movie, not watching the movie itself. Some of the finest looking ladies in Hollywood at the time also help.

Funny bit of fluff. Saw it in the theater as a kid and just as much fun now

Muy buena......cumple con mis expectativa,s la película para mi es parte de una zaga de películas de espías que surgieron en esa epoca .

Brilliant to have this film. Widescreen transfer superb. Such spoof innocent fun. If you saw the Matt Helm films in the 1960's and loved them then, you won't be disappointed to see them again. No swearing and nothing offence. Dean and his colleagues fit the bill perfectly. Not lost any of its appeal.

Classic, if somewhat dated, tongue-in-cheek action from Dean Martin...

Not Dean Martin's best stuff, but as a charmer as usual. It's like a james bond type movie, lots of funny gadgets. He plays "Matt Helm" as a secret agent. There is 4 movies to this collection of Matt helm, but getting hard to find copies. "The silencers" seem to be the easiest to find.
