Our Man Flint (1966)

In an effort to control the world, a group of scientists hold thew world to ransome by causing devastating weather conditions. Only one man can save the planet, retired super spy Derek Flint.
Firmly embedded in the American 60s ethos, this Bond spoof has its tongue planted exceptionally far into to its cheek. A very enjoyable and funny film which unfortunately runs on for about 15 minutes to long. With a bit of tightening up it could have been a classic as it does get lost in itself a little in the middle. But it's a minor complaint. Who can moan when James Coburn is in his "gee, isn't this great fun" mode.
