THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. – The Candidate's Wife Affair - 1966
This is the 67th 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 black and 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.
UNCLE thinks there might be a bit of trouble with the upcoming Presidential Election. They assign Robert Vaughn to keep tabs on front running candidate, Richard Anderson's wife, Diana Hyland. Vaughn poses as a press photographer as he tags along with Hyland. Vaughn fails to notice when THRUSH grabs Hyland and replaces her with a double.
It is only a bit of luck that UNCLE tumbles to the switch. (a voice pattern printout) Vaughn and McCallum are sent out to grab up the double for a spot of questions. They give her several truth serum pills but get no info. UNCLE decides that the Hyland double, has been programmed to believe she is the real deal. McCallum heads off to do a bit of break and enter at a beauty salon. UNCLE has determined that it was the only place where the switch could have been made.
McCallum gets himself captured by the THRUSH types running a brainwashing lab in the basement. The doctor in charge, Than Wyenn, figures to do some experimental work of McCallum. While all this is going on, Vaughn and Hyland are being set upon by a bunch of THRUSH thugs. Hyland turns out to be quite handy in the judo department and disposes of the THRUSH types. The two then speed off to save McCallum.
Now it turns out that candidate Anderson's campaign manager, Larry Mann, is really a THRUSH agent. They had planned on using "their Miss Hyland" to steer Anderson the way THRUSH wants. On comes the fight, escape and shootout that every episode ends with. THRUSH is vanquished and both of the women are deprogrammed.
This one is much better than I was expecting considering the stinkers most of season 3 has produced.
