Poster for the movie In Like Flint

In Like Flint (Twentieth Century Fox, 1967)

James Coburn returns as super-cool secret agent Derek Flint, this time helping the ousted Lloyd Cramden (Lee J. Cobb) determine just what happened during a missing three minutes on a golf course and then working to foil the villains and effect a rescue from their island base. There’s plenty of silliness in evidence — witness Flint’s performance in a Moscow ballet — but gimmicks and gals as the genre requires as well. Perhaps not strictly speaking a very good movie, but it is consistently entertaining, thanks in large part to Coburn’s appeal.

  Recommended. Otto finds this one pleasing enough to relax.

Movie 84 for 2021.
