My Thoughts:

This one I enjoyed a lot! It has a great story that kept my attention with ease. And I can not remember the last animated film that I watched without singing and dancing! This made for a nice change of pace as well. There really wasn't many in the cast list that I can say I recognised in this one, but the characters were a lot of fun to watch. This is one I would definitely recommend.

Our Man Flint, a review by GSyren


TitleOur Man Flint (851789-003382)
DirectorDaniel Mann
ActorsJames Coburn, Lee J. Cobb, Gila Golan, Edward Mulhare, Benson Fong
Produced1966 in United States
Runtime108 minutes
AudioEnglish DTS-HD Master Audio Mono, Commentary DTS 2-Channel Stereo, Music Only DTS-HD Master Audio 2-Channel Stereo
SubtitlesEnglish
Overview
My thoughtsOur Man Flint is a spoof of the Bond movies. But it's a gentle spoof. It isn't quite as openly silly as the Matt Helm movies of the same period. James Coburn was a very good choice for playing Derek Flint. Coburn has a unique screen presence that is perfect for the movie. If the movie seems dated, it isn't so much because of Flint, but because of the very sixties pop-art production design. And the computer technology. Punched card technology is so sixties.

Unlike in the Bond movies, the bad guys aren't really all that bad. They want to force global peace through blackmail. They're not power hungry, they are just misguided.

The girls are pretty, just like in the Bond movies. Raquel Welch screen tested for the female lead, but Fox decided to use her in Fantastic Voyage instead. Probably a good choice. The role instead went to former Miss Israel, Gila Golan, who only made 6 movies, and the only other one I have seen her in is The Valley of Gwangi. A more prolific actor is Lee J. Cobb, usually seen in much more serious roles, but very good here as well.

If you have seen the Austin Powers movies, you'll see that much of the inspiration for them came from Our Man Flint (and its sequel, In Like Flint).

Our Man Flint (as well as In Like Flint) is available on Blu-ray from Twilight Time. It looks and sounds great. As usual with Twilight Time, these are limited to 3000 copies.

The crew of the Odyssey, a space shuttle orbiting above the Earth's surface, looks on in horror as the Earth explodes before their eyes.

Armed only with a bit of computer code referring to "Leviathan," Taggart is determined to save the planet.
