THE AMBUSHERS 1967 (TUBI)

This is the first Matt Helm film I ever saw.

Dean Martin stars as Helm in this fun little spy spoof.

The story is very simple as Helm is assigned to a case involving foreign spies and the exiled ruler of a country who has hijacked an experimental flying saucer.

There are a lot of people who accuse these films of being rip offs of James Bond, but that isn't quite true. The four Helm movies are intended as spoofs, and they do a damn good job of it.

Martin is very good in he role and what I like most about these movies is there is not an unattractive woamn to be found. I prefer my women without tats and body piercings, and modern actresses cannot hold a candle to any of these women from the 60's.

This is the third of the four films, and I really think you shuld check it out. The music, clothes and everything else screams 60's coolness.

The rest of the cast includes Janice Rule, Senta Berger, James Gregory, Albert Salmi, Kurt Kasznar, Beverly Adams, Linda Foster, Karin Feddersen, Marilyn Tindall, Terri Hughes, Roy Jensen and David Mauro.

Colorful, funny and very good entertainment.
