Today's feature is my favorite of the American made James Bond knockoff/imitation films of the 1960s. A fun spy spoof of its time but also an amazingly prophetic time capsule in the sense that its plot ideas of women running the world, nuclear weapons in outer space and most memorable of all(Flint's comment: "An actor as president?!") all came true. TV's Batgirl has a memorable cameo as a most attractive Russian ballerina named Natasha.

The Flint watch is a great spoof on Bond’s spy gizmos.

People these days are not so familiar with original expression that led to the title of this movie: "
In like Flynn".

I have this on my iTunes library. Watched it as a kid back in the day.
Love his watch.
And his taste in babes.

I remember these. Wasn’t the first one called ‘Our Man Flint’?
To: ReformationFan
In the same parody genre of In Like Flint (1967), you might like to check out:
Our Man Flint (1966)
The President’s Analyst (1967) (also very prescient)
The four Dean Martin, “Matt Helm” movies,
The Silencers (1966)
Murderers’ Row (1966)
The Ambushers (1967)
The Wrecking Crew (1969)
Modesty Blaise (1966)
(The totally bizarre) Casino Royale (1967)
And, while only half-spy and half-parody, what would such a list be without the amazing:
Danger: Diabolik (1968)

Flint: “Last year’s book....already out of date....”
Flint’s boss: “When do you find time to read?”
Flint: “Read? I wrote this...”
