Our Man Flint (1966)

director Daniel Mann
music Jerry Goldsmith
costume Ray Aghayan
set decoration Raphael Bretton, Walter M. Scott
starring James Coburn, Lee J. Cobb, Gila Golan

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.

director Gordon Douglas
music Jerry Goldsmith
costume Moss Mabry, Sy Devore
set decoration James W. Payne, Walter M. Scott
opening montage Richard Kuhn
starring James Coburn, Lee J. Cobb, Jean Hale, Yvonne Craig

Ladies’ man and occaisional goofball James Coburn returns as Derek Flint to foil an international plot involving missing cosmonauts, a trigger-happy President, and brainwashing hairdryers! World War III just might turn out to be the battle of the sexes when Derek has to face four liberated female industrialists who’ve banded together to manipulate world events. Macho Derek doesn’t seem to believe the women are much of a threat (at least he doesn’t blow up their base), and when the plan goes awry it’s Derek to the rescue!
