Good Fluff
13 August 2021
As a kid I absolutely loved "The Man From Uncle." Well, the first couple of seasons anyway. Like any of these type of shows, the plots tend to get more and more preposterous. But I recently caught this TMFU movie on TCM and enjoyed it. Vaughn and McCallum were great as the partners who worked for "UNCLE" never playing it too seriously. I'm not sure if this was a seperate movie or two episodes combined with a bit of original footage. Good cast-Jack Palance seems to have a blast overacting as the THRUSH villian, Drago as does the incredibly hot Janet Leigh as his villianous assistant, Miss Diketon. Great name, eh! Another very hot actress, Leticia Roman plays a prominent role as a Sicilian maiden who Vaughn, AKA Napolean Solo, is going to have to marry in a literal shotgun wedding. Had all the elements I remember enjoying in a TMFU episode, action, explosions, comedy and sexy women. Plot was really unimportant, although they could have cut out at least .10-.15. BTW, I have no idea who The Spy in the Green Hat was. I guess they needed something for a title.
