April 25 movie: Our Man Flint. After raving about The Silencers I just had to watch the first and best Flint movie again. And lucky me, my copy of the Flint collection arrived from Amazon just in time! It's a pretty good deal: for fifteen bucks I got both Flint movies and the pilot to a 1976 failed Flint tv series called "Our Man Flint: Dead On Target." Which, if you ever watch it, you will know immediately why it failed. Coburn wasn't in it, of course, and by 1976 (eleven years after Our Man Flint) the look and style was so totally different than the tv show had absolutely nothing to do with Flint. It was just a C-level detective show. We couldn't force ourselves to watch more than a few minutes.
The DVD also include trailers for a couple of movies, including Modesty Blaise. Which I've seen already, and it was so much fun that I watched the trailer again. Now I've got the theme song stuck in my head. "Modesteeeeee! Modesty!" Gahh! I've been listening to a variety of catchy tunes to try and drive Modesty away, and nothing works.
