I interviewed at DAP Acquisitions (Chicago, IL) in December 2017. Interview I applied online through LinkedIn and got called back three days later for a first round interview.
Dean Martin played Matt Helm as Dean Martin. He wasn't the cold and ruthless Matt Helm of the books. Instead he was a cool and randy fella who loved to drink, seduce some chicks, croon some tunes & fight some bad guys. I wouldn't have him any other way.
Though the general public may associate the name Matt Helm with the Dean Martin spoofs, the novels should not be dismissed. Suspenseful, fast-moving, with a decidedly dark sense of humor, the Matt Helm series is notable not only for its exceptional quality but its unusual longevity.
