Made as a spoof of the popular James Bond films, Our Man Flint relied heavily on the current craze in "camp". It even bears a strong look-and-feel resemblance to the mid-60s TV show that epitomized this concept, Batman. The similarity really jumped out to this viewer who remembers watching Batman during his high school years.
The problem is that Batman was cheesy, lacking depth of plot and characters...but it was just a TV show. Our Man Flint suffers from the same affliction; it's very shallow fare. Good for the camp factor and very '60s (those innocent '60s between Eisenhower and 'Nam). Our Man Flint is ok, but don't expect anything special because it doesn't deliver.
