It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This follow-up is much goofier and sillier than the original, but still every bit as amusing and entertaining. This time hip, clever, and dashing freelance spy and playboy extraordinaire Derek Flint (James Coburn in splendidly wry and laid-back assured form) must thwart a dastardly plot by a gang of lovely, yet formidable ladies who have developed a method of brainwashing so they can put arrogant and domineering men in their place and thus take over the planet. Director Gordon Douglas, working from a bright and witty script by Hal Fimberg, relates the delightfully wacky narrative at a steady pace, maintains an engagingly blithe and madcap very 60's camp sensibility throughout, and stages the rousing action set pieces with real skill and gusto (Coburn's fancy martial arts moves in particular are quite impressive and exciting). Coburn's amiably breezy'n'easy persona fits the character of Flint like a fine pair of stylish slippers; he talks fluently to dolphins, romances an endless bevy of beautiful babes, dons various disguises, briefly poses as a ballet dancer (!), and beats up numerous baddies without ever loosing a single ounce of his divinely unflappable cool the whole time. The rest of the cast are likewise up to par: Lee G. Cobb returns as Flint's loyal, but disgraced superior Lloyd C. Cramden, the gorgeous Jean Hale excels as classy and crafty head villainess Lisa Norton, Andrew Duggan does spirited work as both the hearty President and the hammy actor impersonating him, and Steve Ihnat hits it out of the ballpark with his excellent portrayal of the sneaky and cunning General Carter. Yvonee "Batgirl" Craig has a small, but nifty part as fetching, yet duplicitous Russian ballerina Natasha. Moreover, this movie in some ways was uncannily ahead of its time: The cabal of angry women Flint opposes neatly foretells the 70's feminist movement while the premise of an actor as President offers a frighteningly accurate prediction of Reagan getting elected into office as Chief Executive a mere decade or so down the line. Jerry Goldsmith's funky swinging score and William H. Daniels' slick widescreen cinematography are both on the money, too. A tremendously fun film.

You have to keep in mind that this movie is a sequel and made in the mid sixties. If you're not sure why the latter is important, then you obviously aren't familiar with that decade, and it's influence on pop culture, music, dress...well, basically everything was different after the 1960's.Thank God political correctness hadn't been created then, or otherwise we wouldn't have most of the scenes of this movie, i.e., the Cuban passenger plane...I'm reasonably sure that recreational drugs were quite prevalent throughout the writing and filming stages of this movie (plus post-production, too?). Otherwise, why would the filmmakers think it necessary for the main character to be able to speak "dolphin"? If you've never seen the scenes where Colburn speaks dolphin, they alone are worth the time lost while watching this film. Ultimately, this film suffers from sequel-itis, in that it looks hastily written, and lacks most of the uniqueness of the original. Except, of course, for the dolphin speak. "Load the bong man, I got another scene to write!!"

The sequel to OUR MAN FLINT is an even wackier spy spoof than its predecessor. After the first film, which closely imitated the James Bond franchise, it seems the creative minds behind Flint felt free to do their own thing. Take the parody a step further.Derek Flint is irresistible to women, skilled in martial arts, and a master of disguise. The Flint movies were said to be an inspiration for Mike Myers's "Austin Powers" movies, and the influence is more apparent in this film than the first. The sequel involves an all-female terrorist group, a kidnapped President, an outer-space science lab, hypnotic cigarettes, and Derek Flint communicating with dolphins.Lee J. Cobb is great as perplexed Z.O.W.I.E. chief Lloyd Cramden and James Coburn returns as eccentric secret agent Derek Flint. IN LIKE FLINT is a classic '60s spy comedy. Silly, but action-packed. This second Flint adventure doesn't rely as heavily on spoofing 007. By this movie, Flint has become a character all his own.In my opinion, even more fun than the first.

"In Like Flint" (1967): So
Hollywood money moguls are sitting around trying to come up with another idea to compete with the VERY successful James Bond/007 fliks. Out of desperation, this was their return salvo. Ker plunk, in the drink. Coburn claimed that Fox wanted to get 'In Like Flint' into cinemas so badly, the script was of little concern. And, James Coburn is no Sean Connery. Still, you HAVE to luv the awful fashions, bad snappy lines, faux-classy decors, lousy special effects, swingin' Mod score, a lame-ass version of Cold War with the Commies, TONS and TONS of bikini chix, and a story line that will send you into fits of
uh
fits of
anti-nostalgia. The moguls must've thought THIS Joanie-come-lately, anti-equality, anti-feminist, keep 'em bare foot and bikinied theme would really sell
to
uh
someone. It's a funny film, but only because of all the rampant stupidity. A history lesson a guilty pleasure nothing more.
