Rampant stupidity & a quaint remnant of the 1960's

"In Like Flint" (1967): So… Hollywood money moguls are sitting around trying to come up with another idea to compete with the VERY successful James Bond/007 fliks. Out of desperation, this was their return salvo. Ker plunk, in the drink. Coburn claimed that Fox wanted to get 'In Like Flint' into cinemas so badly, the script was of little concern. And, James Coburn is no Sean Connery. Still, you HAVE to luv the awful fashions, bad snappy lines, faux-classy decors, lousy special effects, swingin' Mod score, a lame-ass version of Cold War with the Commies, TONS and TONS of bikini chix, and a story line that will send you into fits of … uh … fits of … anti-nostalgia. The moguls must've thought THIS Joanie-come-lately, anti-equality, anti-feminist, keep 'em bare foot and bikinied theme would really sell… to… uh… someone. It's a funny film, but only because of all the rampant stupidity. A history lesson – a guilty pleasure – nothing more.
