Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis was Beverly Adams's final appearance as Matt's secretary, Lovey Kravezit.
- GoofsThroughout the entire film you can see the wires that are used to lift things and people up whenever the "anti-gravity ray" is used. This is especially obvious in the scenes where the saucer is brought down to the jungle and when Matt rescues Sheila from the runaway train wagon.
- Quotes
[last lines]
Matt Helm: You know, there'll be times when you'll find yourself in a romantic situation with an enemy agent. Now, you've got to just let yourself go. You know, be soft and yielding. A little champagne.
Slaygirl: I don't drink.
Matt Helm: A little love.
Slaygirl: I don't drink.
Matt Helm: Well, soft lights and music - especially music. That'll do it every time. Eh, just relax and now you play close attention.
Slaygirl: You can count on me, sir.
Matt Helm: [Dean Martin's "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime" plays on the stereo] Nice voice.
[moves in for a kiss]
Slaygirl: I'm sorry Mr. Helm. I guess I'm just not in the mood.
[Matt puts on the next record, which happens to be Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night"]
Slaygirl: Oh, kiss me!
[long kiss]
Matt Helm: Do you really like Perry Como that much?
