One Of Our Spies Is Missing 1966
MGM / Arena
E.Darrell Hallenbeck
Robert Vaughn, David
McCallum, Leo G. Carroll, Yvonne Craig, Maurice Evans
Bernard Fox
Two scientists invent
a machine that can reverse the ageing process. Its secret is eagerly
sought after by both U.N.C.L.E. and THRUSH. The film gives an interesting,
if short, glimpse into the workings of THRUSH Central which seems
to operate on much the same lines as U.N.C.L.E. headquarters. Extra
footage was added to the television episodes but failed to make
any significant improvement to the story.

season double episode 'The Bridge Of Lions Affair' Parts 1 &

A criminal mastermind
and megalomaniac styling himself on his namesake Alexander ( the
Great ) makes plans to commit some of the world's biggest crimes
in order to enlarge his industrial 'empire'. The signature theme
of each crime is the breaking of one of the Ten Commandments. When
he steals a top secret chemical from a U.S. military establishment
Solo and Kuryakin are sent after him, to stop him achieving his
ambitions of power, enlisting the help of his ex-wife Tracey in
order to do so.

In part, a satire on
old-fashioned gangster movies. In hiding from THRUSH agents Napoleon
Solo takes refuge under a young lady's bed and is discovered there
by her grandmother. Unfortunately for Solo it is a Mafia family
and they try to force him into marrying the girl. He escapes, but
is hotly pursued by a motley collection of stereotype Italian gangsters.

four daughters who now all live in different countries. Kuryakin

the jigsaw puzzle but find themselves in a race against time as
THRUSH agent Randolph and his karate-trained sidekicks are on the
same trail.

Enemy agents recruit
a top criminal to do a bit of safecracking so that two mad scientists
can get their hands on a thermal prism, a device capable of producing
a heat ray powerful enough to destroy the world. Kuryakin and Solo
are despatched to avert the potential disaster and come up against
Luther Sebastian's THIRD WAY group, a THRUSH alternative with similar
world domination objectives. More U.N.C.L.E. hardware is seen in
this film than previously including a sea-going sequence with torpedo
boats and ends up with the timely destruction of the thermal prism
seconds after its launch on an ICBM.
