For the climactic scene, Mark Slate is forced to take the controls of the UFO being used by Lamas leading to an eventual bailout for all to safety (all the heroes that is!) This is one of the weaker moments in the series I've seen up to this point since plot is sacrificed for about five minutes of Mark piloting the out of control ship and April and Janet being tossed around before the end comes. I guess the scriptwriter was desperate to fill time!    Posted:   Jan 7, 2009 - 10:54 PM     By:   TheSaint   (Member) I should check that episode out too! (unless it's a B/W episode since my set is only the color ones) Sorry Eric-it's a b/w one.    Posted:   Mar 19, 2009 - 8:41 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) Elizabeth Allen, who has received two spotlights in the "Burke's Law" thread, gets one here now for S2's "The Waverly Ring Affair." Some of her other notable credits included the "After Hours" episode of "The Twilight Zone" (with Honey West herself, Anne Francis) and the John Wayne movie "Donovan's Reef". The question for Napoleon is, is she the traitor inside UNCLE, or is it future host of "What's My Line?" Larry Blyden? Or is it both of them?? (No spoiler revelation here!)    Posted:   Mar 19, 2009 - 9:28 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) Multi-post spotlight for the big two-part episode of S2 "The Bridge Of Lions Affair", a tale involving a youth serum and the attempts by UNCLE and THRUSH to gain control of it. Vera Miles, wife of an aged British politician, has other ideas. She wants to use it on her husband Maurice Evans as a way of restoring his health and getting power for herself. But sooner or later, she knows she's going to have to deal with THRUSH, represented in this episode by Bernard Fox, and she'll realize soon enough she shouldn't cross them! Vera looked her most attractive in this phase of her career. Certainly better than she looked a few years earlier in "Psycho" (though Hitch made her purposefully drab there). See the "Hawaii Five-O" thread for her guest turn there in S3.    Posted:   Mar 19, 2009 - 9:31 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) Ann Elder, later to be a regular on MFU's replacement "Laugh-In" appears with a bad wig and a bad fake Brit accent as Evans' nurse. Appearing on "Match Game" six years later, she would have a much different look!    Posted:   Mar 19, 2009 - 9:34 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) In a small role as the daughter of a missing scientist who helped develop the youth serum (and transformed himself into James Doohan, who gets bumped off later in the episode) is Dolores Faith. She soon meets her demise at the hands of treacherous Vera!    Posted:   Mar 19, 2009 - 9:37 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) And back in the ranks of UNCLE this time out is S1 semi-regular (and occasional WWW scriptwriter, and the lady who launched this thread) Leigh Chapman. However, while her job remains the same, her name has changed from Sarah Johnson to Wanda and she's now decided that blondes have more fun in life! Leigh would appear only one more time on MFU, but a couple years later would make one more contribution to the TV spy realm by writing one episode of "Mission: Impossible".    Posted:   Mar 20, 2009 - 1:53 PM     By:   Gordon Reeves   (Member) Yo, YAY HOO-RAQ Department: We've only now just noticed you saw fabulous fit to include our long-tyme heart-throb/admired actress among these nifty notables! Well, WHOA - und a wunnerful Thank U fer the previously-unknown appearance! ...    Posted:   Mar 20, 2009 - 2:03 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) Happy to oblige, Neo! And just FYI, Janet also appears in an episode of the just-released S3 of "Barney Miller".    Posted:   Apr 3, 2009 - 5:23 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) The story opens with an installation filled with dead technicians at their consoles and not a sign of marks on them.....and then in a dramatic moment the discovery is made by those investigating that it is the work of....killer bees! No, we're not talking about a lousy Irwin Allen disaster movie, we're talking about S2's "The Birds And Bees Affair" (though it wouldn't surprise me if Stirling Silliphant happened to be tuning in to a rerun when he was given the task of writing the script for "The Swarm") which involves THRUSH villain John McGiver attempting to utilize scientist John Abbott's breakthrough on bees. Principal eye candy for the episode comes from WWW Yum veteran Anna Capri. For a change of pace, Ilya gets the girl at the end of the episode....much to Napoleon's chagrin!    Posted:   Apr 3, 2009 - 5:25 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) Bonus Yum for the episode comes from two THRUSH operatives! First, Judy Cannon as a cigarette girl who leaves Solo with a deadly flower which he fortunately passes on to another customer before it takes effect. And then, as a dance instructor at the studio THRUSH uses as their cover, Lorri Scott.    Posted:   Apr 4, 2009 - 2:33 AM     By:   CindyLover   (Member) Yet another member of the MFU/WWW Crossover Yum Club (Lorri Scott was in "The Night of the Wolf").    Posted:   Apr 4, 2009 - 8:27 PM     By:   ZapBrannigan   (Member) Joyce Jameson looks like Victoria Jackson (below):    Posted:   Apr 18, 2009 - 8:41 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) UNCLE would probably have hired Victoria if they needed an agent who had to do hand stands while reciting poetry! (like in her Tonight Show appearances) Finally got to my last two unwatched episodes of S2, starting with "The Bat Cave Affair." Martin Landau does his opening warm-up for his Oscar winning role in "Ed Wood" as he affects a Lugosi accent playing a Dracula type THRUSH operative who plans to use the radar in bats to interfere with airport radar systems all over the world. Key to his success though in eliminating UNCLE opposition is using innocent Ozark girl Joan Freeman into thinking she has powers of clairvoyance (so UNCLE can be fed false info). Innocent young Clemency would never have anything stronger than an ice cream soda! But she does get easily bored being cooped up by UNCLE in her hotel. When Solo realizes that Ilya is being held captive by Landau in his Transylvanian castle, he makes sure to take Clemency with him. She completely enjoyed the in-flight movie and the leading man! Small wonder as it was the MFU feature film! (this was not the last time a MFU would indulge in this kind of surrealism since as noted before a S3 episode would show Ilya watching TV and on-screen was a GFU episode). Landau's vampire villain was allowed to escape, but with "Mission: Impossible" about to start a few months later, there was no chance of a return. The title of the episode was also a nod to the hot success of "Batman" which had just debuted and Landau at one point seemingly takes a shot at the new series by commenting how bats have suddenly acquired a bad reputation of late!    Posted:   Apr 18, 2009 - 8:49 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) Bonus Yum in the episode from Tita Marsell as a THRUSH flamenco dancer who lures Ilya into villain Landau's trap.    Posted:   Apr 18, 2009 - 9:09 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) Sharon Farrell makes her second series apperance in "The Minus X Affair". She is the party-loving daughter of brilliant scientist Eve Arden (from whom she's been estranged for years) who has developed a "Positive X" formula that will enhance intelligence, but as she is secretly working for THRUSH, she has also developed a "Negative X" formula that will dull intelligence (and thus be used on unwitting guards to help THRUSH steal synthetic plutonium from a government plant). THRUSH, not happy that Eve never told them about her daughter, has her kidnapped while she's living it up in Acapulco. But once Eve is forced to test Positive X on her, her disdain for Mother comes to the surface and she doesn't mind at all being the prisoner of THRUSH mastermind Theo Marcuse who has Solo prisoner as well. But....when Mother decides to save Daughter from THRUSH in the climax and gets gunned down by Marcuse, Sharon enraged tosses Marcuse to his demise! (and thus saving the synthetic plutonium from THRUSH's hands as well). She comes away from the experience glad that Mother cared after all. Of course, since Mother was beloved to Americans for so many years as Our Miss Brooks on radio and TV, the audience never would have believed she could have been all bad! Additional episode trivia: Paul Winfield has an early role as a hapless Army guard overpowered by THRUSH, while King Moody, who a year gained fame as Siegfried's bumbling aide Starker on "Get Smart" proves to be a more formidable THRUSH operative than he did while working for KAOS!    Posted:   Jun 1, 2009 - 4:46 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) The very last bit of unfinished business from the S2 DVD set is to take note of the additions done to "The Alexander The Greater Affair" for its theatrical release as "One Spy Too Many" (the only one of the MFU movies incidentally that is included in the DVD set). The chief addition was Yvonne Craig as an UNCLE secretary anxious to get Napoleon to take her out. With Yvonne's scenes being for theatrical release, that meant she could get her tan under the sunlamp even more boldly than Leigh Chapman did! Turns out that Yvonne's "Maude" is actually Mr. Waverly's niece and her romancing of Solo was to keep an eye on him during the mission so he wouldn't be distracted from duty by pursuing *other* lovely females. Two years later, Yvonne would beat out the would-be April Dancer, Mary Ann Mobley, for her most famous role. I wouldn't be surprised if this part helped influence her getting the role of Batgirl.    Posted:   Jun 1, 2009 - 4:47 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) "One Spy Too Many" also had one extra scene for Donna Michelle's Princess from the original "Alexander The Greater Affair" episode where Solo suddenly runs into her using a hot tub.    Posted:   Jun 1, 2009 - 7:23 PM     By:   ZapBrannigan   (Member) "To Trap A Spy" also had one extra scene for Donna Michelle's Princess from the original "Alexander The Greater Affair" episode where Solo suddenly runs into her using a hot tub. Okay, I found three pictures of Donna Michelle in this thread: two from "The Double Affair" and the color one above from "To Trap a Spy." Is that all of them? It's kind of important. To me. For reasons of my own. Here she is in the December 1963 centerfold looking a LOT like Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I cropped it for general audiences.    Posted:   Jun 1, 2009 - 7:29 PM     By:   Eric Paddon   (Member) There are two caps of her from the original "Alexander The Greater Affair" episode on Page 4.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Man From UNCLE Yum!    << < 10 11 12 13 14  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
