Our Man Flint (1966)
9/10
Almost Out-Bonds Bond
1 May 2005
Warning: Spoilers
The only 60's spy flick to give Bond a run for his money, albeit with more silliness and less pretentiousness. Coburn, spot on as exotic retired super agent Derek Flint, very reluctantly rejoins the service when a group of scientists attempt to conquer the world through weather control. It doesn't help their cause that they kidnap all of Flint's girlfriends, in a strategy doomed to backfire. Cobb is great in his traditional role of curmudgeon authority figure, and Golan is a very attractive femme fatale, as I'm sure the rescuer who "inadvertently" mishandles her at film's end would agree. Consistently entertaining from the first reel to the last.
