THE WRECKING CREW: the sleepwalking spy

The script, acting and direction for this 1969 Dean Martin spy thriller spoof as so lethargic I felt I must have been unknowingly heavily sedated while slipping the disc into the DVD player.
Martin barely has the energy to go through the motions as secret agent Matt Helm. Even the presence of numerous scantily clad sex starved starlets fails to rouse him from his torpor.
An all round waste of time, money and talent, the big mystery is why Columbia ever gave this project the green light.
