The Silencers - 1966 - 5/10

Initial Matt Helm installment plays the agent strictly for laughs.
Helm is now retired, living as a glamour photographer. (pretty girls)
His old agency discovers a threat to initiate global nuclear war - Operation Fallout, and persuades him back.
Despite a big budget, this feels like glorified Maxwell Smart to me.
Stella Stevens plays a moronic nemesis, gratingly whining and crying.
She will get on your nerves and irritate you throughout.
Funny (in a slapstick way) and successful back when. Now feeble.
