THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. – The Double Affair – 1964
This is the eighth 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.
This one has Vaughn and McCallum being assigned with several other UNCLE agents, to deliver a top secret vault combination. The vault contains a ultra-destructive bomb, which is being keep as sort of a doomsday device in case the Earth is invaded by aliens. (Yes, it does sound silly) Needless to say, THRUSH wants the device for their own nefarious reasons. The twist here is that THRUSH has kidnapped Vaughn and replaced him with a surgically altered double. THRUSH intends to swipe the combination and then kill the real Agent Solo later.
A monkey wrench is tossed into THRUSH's plans when an old girlfriend of Vaughn's puts in an appearance. She becomes less than amused when the double has no idea who she is.
Of course McCallum and the rest finally tumble to the impostor and the chase is on. The real Vaughn escapes from the THRUSH lair and sets off a self-destruct device. Then we have a cliff edge fight between the real, and the fake Vaughn.
This is really a rather weak episode with all sorts of loose ends left hanging. Maybe it was a story line that they never picked up again. The distaff side include, the always gorgeous, Senta Berger, along with Sharon Farrell and 1950's big screen actress, Paula Raymond.
