Review

OK in retrospective we should all know that 1960s espionage was all about cool dudes battling evil and attracting hot babes in the process (though the latter often overshadowed the former as Austin Powers showed). "Our Man Flint" is no exception. I will say that Derek Flint (James Coburn) isn't exactly James Bond but he has his merits. The movie mostly seems like an excuse to experience that ultracool feeling that always emanated from the spy movies of the ླྀs and they achieve that.

So even if it isn't James Bond it's still very enjoyable. Also starring Lee J. Cobb...and a bunch of halfdressed women.

So during that era the four most important spies were James Bond Derek Flint Harry Palmer and Maxwell Smart.
