rndhyd Downloaded this by chance. Watched it 6 months later.Cannot actually give full review because I stopped at 40% in -- too boring, and I even have 2 screens, so was doing something else too. Otherwise, I would've stopped watching sooner.This is too TV-like. Although that's not necessarily bad, but it is just too cheesy, campy & borderline $hit, but I'm being too harsh. It's not actually real bad.Other persons' taste will certainly vary.
gridoon2018 ....the other three "Man From U.N.C.L.E" theatrical movies I've seen so far ("To Trap A Spy", "One Of Our Spies Is Missing", "One Spy Too Many"). This one is more tightly paced (running under 90 minutes), and it has an engaging story; it's true that the "double" plot gimmick has been used many times, before and since, in the spy genre, but there is a reason for that: it usually works well. This film also has some clever spy tricks, sexy women (Solo gets to make out with, in chronological order, Sharon Farrell, Senta Berger, and in a brief but memorable role, Donna Michelle - even James Bond would be green with envy!), a surprisingly violent opening action sequence, and a couple of risqué moments that I'm assuming were added to the theatrical version of the original TV episode. Unfortunately, it also has a pretty weak climax, with one important character showing a very sudden change of heart. **1/2 out of 4.
StuOz Robert Vaughn is surprisingly good in this role and the humour of the movie is highly entertaining. The film has two highly memorable scenes. The first is where the Australian UNCLE spy talks to the UNCLE boss. Nothing in the way of characterization is given to the Oz spy but he is given what was probably considered correct for an Australian, a way out sense of humour. The Aussie is having a very serious conversation with the UNCLE boss when suddenly he makes a joke. The boss is not amused.The second great scene has already been mentioned here by another poster, McCallum is ambushed by two small toy robots firing rockets. During the original network run in the US, The Man From UNCLE was screened with Irwin Allen's Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea on another network at the same time. It is interesting to note that this kind of toys with spies scene would be seen in Voyage episodes such as The X Factor.They did eight UNCLE movies (aka the UNCLE pilot & the UNCLE two-parters) and they all mostly good fun. The film titled - One Of Our Spies Is Missing - is the only exception, this one stinks! But the others are fine.
Steve Aldous The second big screen outing for "The Man from UNCLE" is a notch down from the first. It is made up primarily of the first season episode "The Double Affair" and contains additional footage from "The Four Steps Affair". The doppelganger plot is never fully exploited and there is an excessive amount of padding centred around Vaughn's romantic dalliances. Sharon Farrell delivers a feisty turn as Vaughn's put-upon air hostess girlfriend and McCallum has a bigger role than in the first film (TO TRAP A SPY), but overall this is a routine mission.
