The Silencers (1966) The first-ever film to have a post-credit scene was The Silencers. Featuring Dean Martin and Daliah Lavi, The Silencers follows secret agent Matt Helm, who comes out of his retirement to stop the Big O from generating global nuclear conflict.

I have NEVER heard of this film before. I am going to check it out this weekend. I love when a plot can still be true/scary 50+ years later (nuclear winters, etc.)

The Matt Helm movies were James Bond parodies. There was nothing scary about the plot.

The original Matt Helm novels, however, are glorious. The character in the books is so tough and unapologetic and kills many people to complete his missions.

I love Dean Martin, but I loathe those Matt Helm parodies.
