Matt Helm Hats
Description: The Ambushers is a 1967 American spy comedy film directed by Henry Levin starring Dean Martin as Matt Helm, along with Senta Berger and Janice Rule. It is the third of four films in the Matt Helm series, and is based on the 1963 novel of the same name by Donald Hamilton, as well as The Menacers (1968) that featured UFOs and a Mexican setting. When a government-built flying saucer is hijacked mid-flight by Jose Ortega, the exiled ruler for an outlaw nation, secret agent Matt Helm and the ship's former pilot Sheila Sommers are sent to recover it.
Description: Joi Lansing does the song The Silencers, from the movie of the same name with Dean Martin. The scopitone starts out with her singing about .22s and .38s and then she pulls a gun out on the audience. A moment later she puts it in her pocket, takes off her trenchcoat and shows off her REAL secret weapon. Some obligatory bikini dancing in this one. From an original "table tent" design. Scopitone S-1053. Scopitones are music films made for a video jukebox in the 1960s. There were over 70 American ones produced and hundreds of European ones, featuring well-known artists of the time.
