Our Man Flint (1966) starring James Coburn, Lee J. Cobb, Gila Golan, Edward Mulhare
Product Description
There’s really been only one rival to James Bond: Derek Flint. That’s because of James Coburn’s special brand of American cool. Hes so cool, in fact, that he doesnt care to save the world. That is, until he’s personally threatened. He’s a true libertarian, with more gadgets and girls than Bond, but with none of his stress or responsibility. In Our Man Flint (1966), he’s totally unflappable as he thwarts mad scientists who control the weather–and an island of pleasure drones. Lee J. Cobb costars as Flint’s flustered superior, and Edward Mulhare plays a British nemesis with snob appeal. For fans of Austin Powers, incidentally, the funny-sounding phone comes from the Flint films. However, the best gadget remains the watch that enables Flint to feign death. There’s a great Jerry Goldsmith score, too.
