Editing Our Man Flint (section)

===Critical reception===
''Our Man Flint'' generally received positive reviews, having a "Fresh" score of 76% on [[Rotten Tomatoes]] from 33 critics.

''Variety'' called it "a dazzling, action-jammed swashbuckling spoof of Ian Fleming’s valiant counterspy" where "in a cycle which sees virtually every studio clambering aboard the espionage bandwagon, indications point to blockbusting biz if film is properly exploited."<ref>{{cite book |section=Our Man Flint |page=292 |url=https://archive.org/details/varietyfilmrevie0011unse/page/n292/mode/1up? |title=Variety Film Reviews |date=1983}}</ref>

''Filmink'' argued "a great deal of" the success of the film "(correctly) was attributed to Coburn. What other actor could have pulled it off? He had a laconic, suave, rugged look, not too pretty, a nice sense of humour. It helped that in real life Coburn was a pot smoker who’d served in the military but went his own way in life, a genuine counterculture figure who was into cars, karate, and poetry – all came through for Derek Flint."<ref name="coburn">{{cite magazine|first=Stephen|last=Vagg|magazine=Filmink|date=14 February 2025|access-date=14 February 2025|title=Movie Star Cold Streaks: James Coburn|url=https://www.filmink.com.au/movie-star-cold-streaks-james-coburn/}}</ref>
