This top secret agent is a Karate champion, Brain Surgeon, Swordsman and Nuclear Physicist . The original man of mistery ! The man who makes no mistakes ! Our Man Flint makes love in 47 languages !
Fun and entertaining spy movie in the wake of 007 series but with patently ridiculous screenplay , adding pop imagery , and hilarious and ironical touches . This psychodelic and pop delight packs thrills , noisy action , explosions , beautiful women and spectacular scenes . This one is more a spoof movie more than an ordinary Spy film . The plot moves quickly around many attractive girls , but still strains for effect . Like James Bond , Flint uses a lot of gadgets , such as a cicarrete lighter containing death-dealing devices, along with 2 man-eating dogs and accompanied by his 4 luscious , bikini-clad Playmates and his luxurious love nest . James Coburn gives a sympathetic acting as the tough agent assigned to save the world from an evil organization seeking world domination through control the weather. Being accompanied by a good cast as Edward Mulhare , Lee J Cobb , Gina Colan, Rys Williams , Benson Fong and uncredited James Brolin .
It contains a colorful cinematography very in the Sixtes wake by Daniel F. Fapp . As well as moving and thrilling musical score by Jerry Goldsmith in his usual style . This James Bond clone Derek Flint in American style was professionally directed by Daniel Mann . This one was a prestigious director who made notorious films as " Butterfileld 8" , " The Rose Tattoo" , "Come Back Little Sheba" , "A Dream of Kings" , "I'll cry Tomorrow" . Although he also directed some failed and commercial films as "Super Rocky" , "The Avengers" , "Interval" , "Journey into Fear" , among others . Rating : 6/10 . Followed by the sequel titled "In Like Flint" 1967 by Gordon Douglas with Coburn, Lee J Cobb , Andrew Duggan, Anna Lee . Acceptable and passable movie that to will appeal to James Coburn fans .
