"Our Man Flint", "In Like Flint"," Modesty Blaise"

Just out on DVD, these films, out-entertain ANYTHING Mike Meyers can come up with, giving the viewer a more sophisticated type of Adult humor, than the grasping at straws, forced, shotgun brand of Meyers.

Meyers may have the premise right, by using these films as his model, but I know what's going to last longer, in people's memories.

I also enjoy Coburn's "The President Analyst"...with Godfred Cambridge, and a cameo role by Barry "Eve of Destruction" McGuire, a Lalo Shifrin film score.

William Daniels and his better half, Joan Darling, the husband and wife who Coburn, hides with for a while, are a priceless when a mugger strikes on the trio, during a dinner in Chinatown, New York City. Coburn's run from the bad guys in Chinatown, to the old Cafe Wha in the Village...in 2 minutes flat...is a hoot, and a certified world record time, also!

"Modesty Blaise" scores with Dirk Bogarde as the villian, and Monica Vitti, in the title role. Sixties Camp...as far as it can go...with even Terence Stamp, joining in! Perfectly pleasant fluff...but lighter than Meyers. When you think Josephy Losey directed, it makes it even more tantilizing !!!
