In Like Flint (1967)

Curiosidades

In Like Flint is a 1967 American spy fi comedy film directed by Gordon Douglas, the sequel to the parody spy film Our Man Flint (1966). It posits an international feminist conspiracy to depose the ruling American patriarchy with a feminist matriarchy. To achieve and establish this plan, they kidnap and replace the U.S. president, discredit the head of the Z.O.W.I.E. intelligence agency, and commandeer a nuclear-armed space platform, all directed from Fabulous Face, a women's beauty farm in the Virgin Islands. Circumstances compel ex-secret agent Derek Flint to help his ex-boss, and so uncover the conspiracy.

Production

Coburn's fee for the film was $500,000 plus a percentage of the profits. Filming took place in September 1966 in Hollywood and on location in Jamaica.

Coburn later said Gordon Douglas "really didn't direct the film" saying Robert 'Buzz' Henry (Coburn's stunt double and a stunt arranger on the film), the director of photography (William H. Daniels) and myself were really responsible for the film. But that was the fun of it. Gordon Douglas was ill or had a heart problem or some damn thing. Anyway, he would come on the set and say what we were doing was wonderful and so on.

Our Man Flint co-screenwriter Ben Starr claimed he was asked to write the film but left after a dispute with Saul David over his salary.

Totty Ames, who played Simone, one of the female triumvirate, was the wife of producer Saul David.

Whereas in Our Man Flint Derek Flint lives in The San Remo in Manhattan, in In Like Flint he lives in the Wilshire Regent in Los Angeles. However, the skyline projected out the window is of Manhattan, with the DuMont Building visible in the background. The Fabulous Face spa in the Virgin Islands is represented by the Round Hill Hotel in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Interiors of the Z.O.W.I.E.
