With the cold war raging their was a wave of Bond influence spy shows. Watching rerun of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. what I saw was: Some very neat gadgets like pens that squirt into drinks, hidden compartments in watches etc. Fast camera pans, and quick moves with explosions and quick raids. Robert Vaugha has a certain camera presents and suave demeanor which drives the show. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is formulated show with plot lines like there is doomsday bomb, a kidnapping etc, helping a nice looking women escape over the border etc. With the formulated episodes their is the old school dialogue of past relationships etc. Back ground 60's bongo music with that cheesy organ sounds is mech. The strong parts of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. out weigh the negatives. 7 stars out of 10!
