James Coburn is Our Man Flint
By Rick29 on Sep 22, 2014 From Classic Film & TV CafeIt's somewhat of a backhanded compliment to call Our Man Flint the "best James Bond spoof."

When Flint travels to France, the overhead shot as the plane supposedly approaches is indeed Marseille, more specifically le Vieux-Port de Marseille (the Old Port of Marseille), seen from the east.
Look closely when Gruber shoots at Flint, you can see that Flint starts the fight by throwing liquid soap backwards at Gruber.
