Good concept, poorly executed.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The '60s were a golden age for television, in the days before political correctness and when everything was easy (sort of) and stylish, and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. was no exception.Here you have the dashing, handsome, and womanising American spy Napoleon Solo, the cute, blonde, hunk of a Soviet spy Illya Kuryakin, and the embodiment of a stereotypical English gentleman and head of the U.N.C.L.E. Mr. Alexander Waverly, all fighting against the evil forces of their greatest enemy THRUSH.Also, the equipment they used were way ahead of their time.Another thing I particularly have to mention about this show, is Barbara Feldon of Get Smart fame's appearance in the episode, "The Never-Never Affair", as a Portuguese weather translator Mandy Stevenson. She just looks so darn beautiful and gorgeous , especially when after she takes off her glasses, with her lovely voice to match. Also, I could really see the bonding (this being a spy series, no pun intended) between Napolean and Mandy in the scene in which they are both captured.All and all, this show is great, and in my opinion redefined the spy genre.R.I.P.

Napolian Solo and Illya Kuryakin work for U.N.C.L.E (united network command for law enforcement) they work in the New York office and Solo is the chief enforcement agent, together he and Illya fight various evil villains.The first season was shown in black and white the last three in colour. I have only recently become a fan of this and I love it, there's some wonderful stories and I love the friendship between Kuryakin and Solo. Solo a suave stylish ladies man whereas Illya is the mysterious blonde Russian with a cute beatles haircut. This series paved the way for many other similar shows which all became classics themselves, including Mission Impossible and Wild Wild West. A really good series with some amazing moments and characters well worth buying to enjoy again and again. Mr Solo, open Channel D.

This show which debuted on NBC in September 1964 was the first movie or show to cash in on what was becoming the "James Bond Phenomenon". With only two Bond films released and the blockbuster "Goldfinger" to be released in the US at Christmas time "The Man from UNCLE" was the first introduction to secret agents for many people. Each week Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin saved the world or part of it from the evils of Thrush, an organization bent on world domination.It started as a cult show but quickly became a hit and at times the #1 show in the ratings to losing it's focus by the third season when it decided to copy the campy tone of the "Batman" TV show which turned off viewers who had liked the more serious tone of the first two seasons. As someone growing up in the sixties the Christmas of 1965 was flooded with secret agent toys with "The Man From UNCLE" even rivaling James Bond as far as toys and other product tie-ins. For a lot of people including myself this is their all time favorite TV show.

This series, I believe, provided the best balance between spoofing the James Bond movies, and being "serious" about spying in general.Even though you knew it was supposed the be funny, you really got the feeling that the writers bothered to do their homework and addressed many issues concerned with "real" espionage.Compared to this, Austin Powers seems completely lame and unintelligent.By the way, I thought T.H.R.U.S.H. stood for The Heinous Regiment of Unscrupulous Spies and Henchmen!
