This time he is persuaded once again to help out the government by Lloyd Cramden (Lee J. Cobb), head of ZOWIE (Zonal Organization of World Intelligence Espionage), when some mysterious actions seem to threaten to sabotage the government's attempt to launch the first space platform along with the follow-up of sending men to establish a space research laboratory.<br/><br/>During the successful launching of the platform from a remote island in the Caribbean, a group of women fashion leaders are in the penthouse of the Fabulous Face, a beauty resort and health spa for women on a nearby island. These women are watching the launching through telescopes on the balcony.<br/><br/>The President (Andrew Duggan) calls Cramden in the launch control tower to congratulate all on the success of the achievement. They decide to celebrate with a round of golf the next day. It is the mysterious event which happens to the President and Cramden on the golf course, followed by an embarrassing experience with Lisa (Jean Hale) from Fabulous Face, that prompts Cramden to call on Flint. The latter, reluctant to leave his luxurious penthouse with his three lovely attendants, finally agrees to investigate the happenings after he returns from a one- week survival course in Death Valley.<br/><br/>NOTES: A sequel to "Our Man Flint".<br/><br/>COMMENT: Does the synopsis spark your interest? It certainly does mine! In fact, I found this follow-up more entertaining than the original Flint, thanks to a livelier script, smarter direction, and the presence of far more abundant hordes of even far more attractive women. And there's also a very engaging performance here by Andrew Duggan in a dual role. And am I sucker for players who engage in dual roles!<br/><br/>Those viewers who enjoy this brand of fantastical, super-spy adventure spoof will definitely applaud this effort. Fortunately, such said viewers certainly include me! And the excitement runs for nearly two hours!
Our Man Flint is possibly the greatest film ever made. But amazingly, In Like Flint is even better. That would make it "The Really Greatest Film Ever Made" ... "The Super-Greatest Film Ever Made"! ZOWIE! <br/><br/>Most sequels don't come close to the wonderfulness of the original productions, but "In Like Flint" does. <br/><br/>It's sense of fun, spoof and action equals the original as super secret agent Derek Flint fights yet super-duper evil organization, this one run by America's richest and most powerful women, including the knockout blond Jean Hale; and veteran actress Anna Lee, who was John Wayne's squeeze in "Flying Tigers" in 1942. <br/><br/>But James Coburn is the main reason. Without his subtle over-the-top Coburn Cool, there would be no Derk Flint and therefore, no Flint series. <br/><br/>And as before Lee J. Cobb is marvelous as Lloyd Cramden, head of our super-duper secret spy agency, Z.O.W.I.E.<br/><br/>Jerry Goldsmith returns to handle the spyalicious score, chock full of hip tunes like "Your Z.O.W.I.E Face." <br/><br/>Coburn is great and the two Flint films are just so darned fun! How can anyone not have a great time with either "Our Man Flint' or "In Like Flint"?
