Leans Traditional
Primary
The film is a comedic spy thriller centered on international espionage and individual heroism to prevent a global threat. Its parodic nature and emphasis on entertainment over serious political engagement result in a neutral rating, as it avoids explicit promotion of either progressive or conservative ideologies.
The movie features traditional casting, with the lead roles primarily filled by white actors, consistent with the era and source material. The narrative does not appear to critically portray traditional identities or center on explicit DEI themes, aligning with typical action/mystery productions of its time.
Secondary
The film 'Matt Helm' (1975 TV movie) does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative or character arcs. The story focuses on a private detective's investigations, with no elements related to queer identity present.
The film features several female characters, including agents and antagonists. While some are involved in action sequences and display competence, none are depicted as victorious in close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents. Their roles often involve espionage, gadget use, or firearm-based confrontations.
The 1975 TV movie pilot for Matt Helm features the titular character, Matt Helm, as male, consistent with the original novels and prior film adaptations. No other established characters from the source material appear to have undergone a gender swap.
The character Matt Helm, established as white in the source novels and prior film adaptations, is portrayed by a white actor (Tony Franciosa) in the 1975 television movie. There is no evidence of a race swap for this or any other significant character.
