THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. – The Thor Affair - 1966
There is really not much I can add that the other reviewer, ShadeGrenade , has not pointed out. I now find it a bit hard to believe that as a kid back in 1966, I thought this was the best show ever. Every kid on the block wanted a UNCLE gun set for their birthday. I recall fist-fists over which of us would pretend to be Solo or a THRUSH type in our games.
UNCLE is sent to keep an eye on a far eastern leader. Needless to say someone is out to kill the man because he is against war. The action then switches to Switzerland and a peace conference. (Switzerland seems to pop up in every third episode) The UNCLE boys, along with the by now mandatory blonde type, foil the villains and save the day. (The bad guys plan on using a bomb disguised as a hankie of all things to kill the main target) The series slow slide to mediocrity continues with this episode.
