in like flint (1967)

Derek Flint (James Coburn), that all round man about town and genius, is back. This time to foil the plans of a group of women, who plan on ridding the world of men and their irrational, frustrating ways, to let women run the world. Through their beauty salons they are brainwashing women to follow them and also replace the US President with a look-a-like. Lloyd C Cramden (Lee J Cobb) realises something is going on and quickly calls on the help of the only man who can help. So again Derek gets to save the world and surround himself with yet more beautiful woman.
This is a suitable follow up to Our Man Flint and continues its send-up of spy movies with added digs at the war between the sexes and women's lib. A light comedy parody of the spy genre, with some nice action, the fact that this was Austin Powers favourite movie should give you an indictation of where it's coming from.
