so incredibly tacky you cant believe it


this movie is so bad that its good,but soooooo bad,that its almost unwatchable sometimes.

its mostly dean martin being drunk,walking around kissing girls all the time.

kinda shows how women were looked upon in that time.

You forgot to mention the music, that wonderful song at the start, and that wonderfully loud music score that covers the film in parts (like the Albert Salmi love scene).

"This movie is so bad that it's good".

Not really - I'd read that it's the worst entry of this pitiful Matt Helm franchise, but instead of jolly old unintentional hilarity I mostly just found it dull. The Silencers was definitely stupider and more... groan inducing, I suppose.

The Silencers is regarded by most MH fans, and most critics, as the best film in the series.

Yes! It's soooo different from today's movies~in which they would strip down the women and spout filthy words every sentence or so! They also throw in sex scenes.

Are you joking?! Today's movies make this look sedate!

The women featured in this film are so far above the ones now who have to prove they're as foul-mouthed as the men! Even Matt Helm's females fared better than in movies of about the past 16 years, if not further back.
