when I was in grade school, before I knew who Dean Martin was, I caught that beginning scene with the bed that slides you into a pool on UHF TV. but then I had to go, so I never knew what movie it was until finding the whole series on a local station a few years ago. but as a kid, I was like “I need that!” of course, the implication was Helm was hung-over, but I was just naturally a bear to get out of bed.
the movies are great, but man, whenever he’s driving and he hits the buttons on his spy-car’s dashboard to reveal an automated bar, holy cow times have changed.
