By 1966 James Bond was finished, Sean Connery had quit, and England was out of secret agents. Enter all-American Derek Flint breaking the rules and driving his boss crazy in the first of the two Flint capers. Our Man Flint spoofs every spy clich�’ — there’s even an enemy base inside a volcano! But Cobern’s Derick is charmingly tongue-in-cheek. He isn’t macho or muscular, but his toothy grin and wierd behavior will win you over, not to mention unending respect for the ladies (he lives faithfully with four) in this pre-feminist, swinging, go-go funfest.
