A chip off the old block?

Our Man Flint (1966)

Long before Austin Powers and beating Casino Royale (1967) to the big screen was this parody of the Bond franchise staring James Coburn. When the world is threatened by a group that can control the weather there is only one man for the job!

This is a pretty decent film but has one major problem, someone seems to have forgotten to put the jokes in. The plot does stretch the Bond clichés to the limit but really fails to bring home any laughs. Compared to the other films I mentioned this film is not really worth watching sadly.

3/5 a well made attempt but just not really funny.
