THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. – The Deadly Games Affair – 1964
This is the fifth episode of 1964 to 1968 spy series, THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. The series ran for a total of 105 episodes. The first season was filmed in B/W with the remainder shot in colour. Robert Vaughn plays agent Napoleon Solo while David McCallum plays Illya Kuryakin. Leo G Carroll plays Mister Waverly, the boss of the secret agency known as U.N.C.L.E. (United Network Command for Law & Enforcement) Their main enemy is THRUSH, an organization out to take over the planet.
In this episode, both UNCLE and their arch enemy, THRUSH, are after the same target. There is a presumed dead NAZI scientist, Alexander Scourby, on the loose. The man worked on a secret suspended animation project for Hitler. Both sides want the process, though for different reasons.
The clues start when some rare stamps come up for sale at an auction. The stamps were part of a collection that was known to belong to the NAZI, Scourby. A college student, Paul Brinckerhoff is drawn into the mix. He had been hired by the NAZI to be a front man for the sale of the stamps.
The stamp sale was because Scourby needed the money to complete his experiments. He plans on bringing his Fuhrer back from suspended animation where he has been for the last 20 years. UNCLE though manages to foil the plan and turn Adolf and his scientist into a pair of deep fried pretzels.
This is a pretty entertaining episode. Of course the presence of the always gorgeous, Janine Gray as THRUSH agent, Angelique does not hurt.
