This is an idiotic, overbearing little spy spoof, that aims to be a surefire caper film, in the James Bond vain. James Coburn simply forgot about all his acting skills when he made this film - it's impossible to believe it's the same James Coburn responsible for the hilarious Dr. Schaefer in 'The President's Analyst'. Now there's MOVIE for you... that's a classic. This is just a really stupid time-filler.
He plays Derek Flint, an unreliable man that everybody relies on to save the world from an evil organization called GALAXY, whose general quarters are located inside an extinct volcano, that intends to dominate Earth by controlling it's weather. Gila Golan, a very unattractive little starlet plays - I believe that's the term... - the responsible one for eliminating Flint. Of course, she ends up falling in love with him, along the other four girls that are part of his own private little harem. Now, how can a woman fall in love with a man that sustains a private harem inside his groovy duplex in New York City, it's beyond imagining... as are the rest of the things in this trashy movie.
And what is the great Lee J. Cobb doing here? He seems so bored and useless as Walter Matthau in 'Goodbye, Charlie'. And the disgraceful use of samba in the theme tune is both annoying and insulting, as are the titles. Boy, I just could go on and on... So, I warn all viewers who are looking for a good film: keep away from it... and, by the way, you are not a pleasure unit...
