StuOz The men from UNCLE are at it again.Taken from year four when most say the UNCLE series was dead, The Helicopter Spies turns out to be the most colourful UNCLE movie of the eight films. Some of the dialogue from Bradford Dillman is outstanding and Robert Vaughn as Solo is cool as always.Who could not like a film where Carol Lynley turns to the bad guy and says "I think you guys are strange, really strange".The whole cast totally shines, this might even be my favourite UNCLE movie together with: To Trap A Spy.Don't be turned off by this being just a two-part TV episode re-edited into a movie, this has a nice feature film feel about it.
w22nuschler I just got the Man From U.N.C.L.E. collection for Christmas. I have seen the movies before and knew they were all really good. I had forgotten how good the action, stories and humor are in the films. All 8 films are basically 2 part shows from the series. A few of the earlier films added some extra footage for the theatrical release. Solo & Illya are wonderful as always, especially Illya. I like David Mccallum a lot because he seems to be a real good guy in real life. I cannot finish the review without mentioning Carol Lynley. She never looked more beautiful in any show or film. And as another reviewer said, she wears some really short mini-skirts. She has maybe the best pair of legs in show business. Check her out in Once You Kiss a Stranger. It's available on the Warner Brothers Archive Site. She walks around in a green bikini for a good part of the film. She showed that she has a great looking body from top to bottom!
raw5300 I completely agree that this is the best of the U.N.C.L.E. movies. I especially like the sequence when Napoleon Solo descends a rope ladder dangling from a helicopter onto a moving train to disconnect the freight car holding a rocket. It's actually two segments--Robert Vaughn hanging from a mock-up at the MGM studios and a stuntman (whose face is never seen) doing the actual stunts on a moving train in the Sierras. The sequence is so well photographed and edited that it's nigh-well impossible to tell that it was actually filmed in two different locations with two different actors. But my question is: how do U.N.C.L.E. fans rank the U.N.C.L.E. films? From best to worst?
Sycotron Very good Man from U.N.C.L.E. movie. Nice sets. Good action. And Carol Lynley in the shortest skirt I've ever seen on a 1960's tv show.
