Cinema Retro Editor-in-Chief Lee Pfeiffer and contributing writer Eddy Friedfeld introduced a rare 35mm big screen showing of Our Man Flint at New York's Film Forum Theater on May 3. It was part of the theater's Spies-A-Go-Go festival of classic espionage movies. Pfeiffer and Friedfeld were joined by Bruce Goldstein of the Film Forum for a discussion of the 1965 spy movie classic that was among the most enduring Bond-inspired films that swept the world in the 1960s. A packed house enjoyed seeing the movie in a stunning print provided by Fox's archives. The film looked as good as it did on its initial release. Pfeiffer and Friedfeld, who recorded the audio commentary for Fox's recent Flint double feature DVD set, provided insights into the making of the films and shared many humorous memories of them with audience members. For extensive coverage of the Flint movies, see issue #8 of Cinema Retro for The Unseen Flint that features rare and unpublished production photos from Our Man Flint and In Like Flint.
