Costner is put in charge of the top-security investigation to catch himself. (Variety) Our Man Flint (1966) James Coburn, Lee J. Cobb, Gila Golan Directed by Daniel Mann Dazzling, action-jammed swashbuckling spoof of Ian Fleming's valiant counterspy, given more tools and gimmicks to pursue his craft as he tracks down the perpetrators of a diabolical scheme to take over the world. James Coburn takes on the task of being surrounded by exotically draped beauties and facing dangers that would try any man. But he comes through unscathed, helped by a dandy little specially designed lighter that has 83 separate uses. (Variety) Our Man in Havana (1960) Alec Guinness, Burl Ives, Maureen O'Hara Directed by Carol Reed from the Graham Greene novel Shot mainly in colorful Cuba, polished, diverting entertainment is brilliant in its comedy but falls apart toward the end when undertones of drama, tragedy and message crop up. Story concerns a mild-mannered vacuum cleaner salesman in Havana persuaded to become a member of the British secret service. To hold down his job, he is forced to invent mythical subagents and concoct highly imaginative, fictitious reports, which he sends back to London. They are taken so seriously that two assistants are sent to help him, and the web of innocent deceit that he has spun gradually mounts up to sinister and dramatic consequences. (Variety)
