These wisest of wise pallies have chosen to begin their Dino-festivities with a swank selection of original flick poster art from our Dino as swingin' spyster Matt Helm.  Likes of course, our Dino-hearts were wildly warmed when the unknown scriber states, "Yet my favorite movies of his remain the 4 films he produced and acted in between 1966 and 1968 as Super Agent Matt Helm, fantastic spoofs on The James Bond."  Likes, of course, se couldn't 'gree more!!!!!

 MATT HELM (1966-1968) - DEAN MARTIN MOVIE POSTERS (Part 1/10)

As we explore the rat Pack members all this month, this is the time to turn the spotlight onDEAN MARTIN who is the only one who had three distinct stars on the Hollywood Walk Of fame for his tirple successful career: Actor, Singer and TV Host). However it is his filmography which we are briefly surveying on this 10 part Blog. An impressive list which can be divided into 5 categories: His 16 movies with Jerry Lewis (part 2), his Westerns (Part 2, 5, 7 and 10), Romantic comedies (Part 4, 6 and 9) and Drama (Part 8).

Yet my favorite movies of his remain the 4 films he produced and acted in between 1966 and 1968 as Super Agent Matt Helm, fantastic spoofs on The James Bond. Directed by Henry Levin and Phil Karlson, they mix great action, humor, ultra cool designs and the nets list of female stars ever: Ann-Margret, Senta Berger, Cyd Charisse, Nancy Kwan, Daliah Lavi,Elke Sommer, Stella Stevens and Sharon Tate. The death of the latter in 1968 was so hard on Martin that he cancelled the planned 5th episode titled The Ravagers.

Above are the rare US half sheet combo poster for Murderers’ Row and The Silencers (painted by Robert McGinnis) with on second row the US one sheets for the Silencers and The Ambushers as well as the Danish poster for Murderers’ Row (the last two also designed by Robert McGinnis) followed by 3 French Grande movie posters and 3 Japanese posters.

In April 2016 All our RAT PACK (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr…) posters are ON SALE Here
