As l'd wrote before Dean Martin wasn't a better choice to be Matt Helm,he was old and already wrinkled for the role,instead all Matt's girls are gorgeous and no make sense whatever the reason,worst he enforce to sing along disfiguring the main score in twist sounds,in this final movie who shines are Sharon Tate and Elke Sommer, she were a very close scenes in those marvelous bodies in sexy walking and exciting legs,a plenty of action leaves the picture somehow acceptable and annoys no one,so l figure out that those girls saved the whole picture of total disaster just for a bad miscasting of leading Role!!Resume:First watch: 1992 / How many: 3 / Source: TV-Cable TV-DVD / Rating: 6

A train carrying $1 billion in gold is hijacked in Denmark and secret agent "Matt Helm" (Dean Martin) has only 48 hours upon his arrival there before British and American markets collapse. The person the secret organization I.C.E. believes is responsible is the multi-millionaire "Count Contini" (Nigel Green). Assisting him is his beautiful but deadly fiancé, "Linka Karensky" (Elke Sommer) and his top agent from Hong Kong, "Yu-Rang" (Nancy Kwan). As luck would have it, Count Contini has recently dumped his mistress, "Lola Medina" (Tina Louise) and she is willing to make a deal. So with only the help of an assistant named "Freya Carlson" (Sharon Tate) waiting for him in Denmark, Matt Helm flies to Copenhagen to retrieve the gold. At any rate, rather than reveal what happens next I will just say that this movie is loaded with sexy women who all want to get close to Matt for one reason or another. In that regard, I thought both Elke Sommer and Nancy Kwan performed very well in their respective roles. Dean Martin was solid and Tina Louise looked great. But her role was a bit too short in my view. Sharon Tate also put on a good performance but her character was too inconsistent. One minute she's a dull-looking klutz and the next she's a sexy secret agent. Likewise, except for the fight between Yu-Rang and Freya, the combat scenes were quite boring. In short, this film is much like the other 3 Matt Helm movies with some really nice-looking actresses thrown in for good measure. It definitely has some flaws but all things considered it's still watchable all the same.

Dean Martin's Matt Helm is always fun to watch. Definitely designed as PG male entertainment but I still love it. Recently saw all 4 movies again and I admit each still kept my attention as fun. The main female characters in these films maintained strong images for the times and it was great to see them. Some appeared in other 60's fun movies and maintained strong images. The 2 James Flint movies are also quirky fun but did not have strong women characters. I just noticed that in the Wrecking Crew - as Matt picks up his jacket to leave there is dust on the pink cushions around the jacket BUT not under it which shows a concern for detail by the film crew - kudos. The music is great !

Count Massimo Contini (Nigel Green) is the mastermind behind a billion dollar gold robbery. His plan is to send the world markets into chaos. He may get away with it unless Matt Helm (Dean Martin) can track down the missing gold. But along the way, Helm will meet up the Count's hired muscle, a gorgeous female killer, and a ditsy woman who insists on helping him.I suppose the best way to describe a Matt Helm film would be a light and breezy spoof of the James Bond movies. Nothing is very serious and you're sure that everything will work out in the end. Dean Martin plays Matt Helm about as laid back as could be imagined. Instead of a gun, you're more likely to see him with a drink in one hand, a cigarette in the other, a beautiful woman to ogle, and a quick quip. His fights scenes may leave a lot to be desired, but there's no denying his "cool".The Wrecking Crew is actually one of the better Matt Helm films. The hiding place of the gold is ingenious, the spy gadgets are plentiful, and the women are everywhere. The cast is one of the better assembled for any of these films. Nigel Green and Elke Sommer make a wonderful pair as the distinguished master criminal and the sexy killer (roles very similar to the ones they played in 1966's Deadlier Than the Male). But Sharon Tate really shines as the ditsy Freya Carlson. It's incredibly sad to think that this would be Tate's last role before her brutal murder. She's a joy and a real pleasure to watch.
