In Like Flint (1967)
6/10
Plenty of Humor, Action and Eye-Candy
31 May 2013
Somewhere in the Virgin Islands a group of feminists are planning on taking over the world. They kidnap the President of the United States, "President Trent" (Andrew Duggan) and replace him with a duplicate to impersonate him. They hijack the space lab by smuggling in female Russian cosmonauts. Additionally, they also implicate the head of the secret organization known as "Z.O.W.I.E." in a sex scandal in order to minimize his effectiveness. Only the semi-retired secret agent named "Derek Flint" (James Coburn) can stop them. Knowing this the feminists kidnap his "3 weaknesses" named "Terry" (Mary Michael), "Jan" (Diane Bond) and "Denise" (Jacki Ray) and try to brainwash them into joining their organization. And most of this occurs in the first 30 minutes or so. Anyway, rather than reveal the entire plot and spoil the film for those who haven't see it, I will just say that this is a pretty good sequel to "Our Man Flint" produced a year earlier. Good performances are turned in by James Coburn, Lee J. Cobb and the beautiful Jean Hale (as "Lisa Norton"). There is also plenty of humor, action and eye-candy all around. All things considered then, this is a fun movie which should entertain most viewers as long as everything is kept in perspective and not taken too seriously.
