Man From U.N.C.L.E., The: 8 Movies Collection (4 Disc) [DVD]

If you loved the show you have to see the movies. David McCallum just passed in 2023 but he and Robert vaughn were the original high tech spys. Leo G Carrol was their all business boss. Ted Cassidy even graced the set with his presence in a few episodes. Great stuff.

I purchased this for my Dad for Father day, and he loved them! Highly recommend!

These 8 movies were superbly made by some of Hollywood’s finest production talent and they featured some of Hollywood’s legendary actors in guest starring roles. The cinematography, sound, costumes, and set work was all top shelf stuff. As you read the loving comments of fans who cherished watching every weekly episode during the original run of The Man From U.N.C.L.E., you have to wonder why we have never seen U.N.C.L.E. fan conventions on a par with Star Trek fan conventions. I am a fan of both Star Trek and TMFU, and I would definitely attend a convention for TMFU.

I have not watched this show since the 1960's, Friday night entertainment with my buddies down the street. It is fun to watch, but they are movies, from what I read, they are expansions of shows. They are good and my wife and I enjoy them, but after the last one we watched (we only watch one per viewing), she turned to me and said, "I wish they weren't so long". They are about 90 minutes of a little longer.The quality is great, they play very well and they are a fun, this was reasonably priced, and it is a trip down a memory path that will put a smile on your face.Like many of the shows of this genre from the 60's (Honey West, Wild Wild West) that are not on Netflex streaming, they can be a bit salty in price for a trip to another decade. I think you should judge if you are a serious U.N.C.L.E fan or someone who who like to see it one more time for memory sake.

I don't watch the MFU movies as often as I watch the complete series, but I do enjoy seeing them and consider this as an important part of my collection.

I primarily bought this DVD set so I could see the very first U.N.C.L.E. movie "To Trap a Spy" 1964 which has Luciana Palluzi in a role very similiar to her later (not much later) James Bond "Thunderball" 1965 Spectre Agent role.Also this first movie has all of the first Pilot colour footage and more, some of which wasn't used in the first 1 hour Pilot "Solo" (later to be re-edited into the B&W Episode "The Vulcan Affair"). For some reason up until now this first movie had not been released on DVD; the other ones have on a rental DVD (which had the rest of them).Hence this first movie is very unique as it's basically the reworked Pilot "Solo" where they have utilised absolutely all colour footage. In effect for many overseas countries yet to see the TV show this "opened" the series and acted as a "Pilot". The scenes with Luciana Paluzzi were re-utilised into the 1st Season B&W Episode "The Four Steps Affair".So if you are really into "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." (e.g. I also have all the episodes as well as "The Girl From U.N.C.L.E." DVD's) and if you really appreciate the early days/Season 1 you'll love this. To see all the other U.N.C.L.E. movies (except the first one "To Trap a Spy") you don't need to buy this; as the 2nd U.N.C.L.E. movie ("The Spy With My Face" made during Season 1) onward are readily available through rental DVD.

Great show

The first one we received had problems throughout all the movies, with freezing and skipping. We returned it and got a replacement. My husband and I really liked watching these, and the TV series, way back when they first aired. We sure didn't remember the huge amount sucking face and sexually suggestive content in them. Maybe they were trying to compete with James Bond, but they went overboard. It really subtracted from the plot/storyline. At least Bond allowed for plenty of action/adventure in his movies. It was definitely amusing though, to look back on the types of special effects of that era. It seems so different all these years later.
