Take one shot of danger, two splashes of action and a twist of comedy and add a generous portion of screen legend Dean Martin to the mix and you`ve got The Silencers, a stylishly sexy adventure in the tradition of James Bond.

It`s up to secret agent Matt Helm to save the day when mascared megalomaniac Victor Bruno and his dastardly organization, Big O, plot to sabotage America`s atomic missile system. From deep inside Big O`s subterranean hideout to a perilous mountainside car chase to groovy designer bedrooms filled with booby traps, Helm braves blistering showers of bullets, knives and laser beams to make the world a save place again. Helping his cause is a bevy of beauties including Stella Stevens and double agent Daliah Lavi. In addition to its arsenal of high-tech gadgets and outrageous costumes, The Silencers features an amazing opening sequence starring Cyd Charisse and a cocktail-era soundtrack by Elmer Bernstein with vocals by Martin, Charisse and Vikki Carr.
