Man With The Golden Gun (1974)

Matt Helm






More Wrecking Crew

Matt Helm






Wrecking Crew (1969)
Directed by Phil Karlson
Screenplay by William P. McGivern
Starring Dean Martin for the last time as Matt Helm
Elke Sommer
Sharon Tate (in one of her last roles)
Nancy Kwan
Nigel Green
Chuck Norris (His first film role)
Tina Louise
John Larch

This was the final film in the Matt Helm series. Although plans were afoot for a fifth film ("The Ravagers"), as well as a proposed teaming with Frank Sinatra for "Matt Helm Meets Tony Rome", the poor box-office showing of both "The Wrecking Crew" and Sinatra's second go round as Rome in "Lady In Cement" brought the Matt Helm series to an end.

Ian Carmichael






Just have to post a few screencaps of Ian Carmichael who we lost earlier this week, he was one of my favorite actors and much loved in the UK. To me he was the best Lord Peter Wimsey. He passed away at 89 and was still working in 2009. From classic British film comedies to classic tv roles, he did it all.
