In Like Flint (1967)

Sequel to the 1966 movie Our Man Flint, gives us further adventures of America's suave ladies-man, super-genius, super-spy Derek Flint (James Coburn). This time Flint is pitted against a group of uber -powerful feminists in tenuous league with a radical faction of the US military to rule the world through control of a newly launched orbital platform. This plot offers a certain degree of symmetry with the first film, where the plot involved a very male chauvinist groups plot to rule the world. In addition to Coburn as Flint, Lee J. Cobb ( I always like Lee J. Cobb) reprises his role as Lloyd C. Cramden, Flints former boss at the spy agency, now in charge of the launch of the orbital platform. Like its predecessor this film is a parody of James Bond, but its plot is more coherent and grounded then the later Austin Powers films. This movie is loaded with attractive women, some well done action sequences, and a surprisingly substantive sub-plot for Mr. Cobb. Andrew Duggan plays both the U.S. President and his villainous doppelganger, Dugan would go on to play real world presidents Dwight Eisenhower in the mini-series Backstairs at the Whitehouse and Lyndon Johnson in  the movie The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover. ***
