Danger Diabolik (1968)

No Eurospy film or any spy film for that matter will ever live up to the pure awesomeness that is Mario Bava's 1968 spy masterpiece Danger Diabolik. Amazing performances by the man with the most intense eyes ever John Philip Law and the gorgeous Italian bombshell Marisa Mell. Add to that an incredible soundtrack by Ennio Morricone and you have all the makings of a spy classic. I've watched this film over 50 times and it just keeps getting better every time I see it. Danger Diabolik has everything. A badass super spy with cool cars, a swingin' pad, and one of the coolest outfits ever. A super sexy, smart, kick-ass accomplice who saves his ass on multiple occasions. Oh, and don't forget the ugly, rat bastard bad guy who has tons of money and boats and go-go pads and a penchant for setting traps. Do yourself a favor and watch Danger Diabolik now. xoxo

I love this song. So good!

Murderer's Row (1966)

Director: Henry Levin
Writers: Herbert Baker (screenplay), Donald Hamilton (novel)
Stars: Dean Martin, Ann-Margret and Karl Malden

Number two in the Matt Helm collection.  A slightly toasty Dean Martin (are you surprised?) plays secret agent Matt Helm, the man with wacky gun, penchant for cocktails, and pretty ladies always by his side (or with a gun to his back).  I love, love, love the crazy fashion in the Matt Helm films and I especially love miss Ann-Margret as the frantic gogo dancing "Helm Girl" in this film.  She oozes adorable just as I'm sure Deano was oozing gin for sweat.  The bad guy has a metal skull plate and Karl Malden is as wormy as ever the super bad bad guy.  I want Matt Helms bar.
