Fifty-one years ago, James Coburn played a suave, womanizing character.
However, it wasn’t Derek Flint from Our Man Flint. That film wouldn’t be released until January 1966. Rather, it was a publicity still for The Americanization of Emily, which came out in 1964.
The ’64 movie was a light movie that took on heavy topics, thanks to screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky. James Garner and Julie Andrews were the leads but Coburn made a big impression in a secondary role.
In the publicity still for the movie, Coburn evokes the Flint character he’d soon portray. Take a look for yourself.
