In the scene where the Contessa says that she is on a diet "of caviar and champagne", the caviar is scooped onto a toast with a silver spoon. Some caviar enthusiasts believe that metal can alter the taste of fine caviar, and that mother of pearl is the preferred material for scooping caviar, especially if indulging from the spoon directly. However, as caviar is shipped in metal tins this is also considered a myth by many. See more »

In the early part of the film, Solo uses the word 'biscuits'. He is an American, and biscuits to Americans are bread rolls, and even then only to an older American. An American would have said 'cookies'. See more »
I went into the movie for my birthday, being a young woman my twin and I were initially attracted by the 2 leading male actors who were captivating & handsome- but is that enough to make a movie watchable to a certain degree? No. But this movie beat my expectations. I had already read some online reviews by critics but to be honest I don't know what movie they had went to see since the reviews were overwhelmingly negative but it couldn't have been 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.'. It was a witty, and smart movie where each actor didn't outshine one another. I personally do not trust critics since they tend to like boring movies like 'The Lincoln Lawyer' that put me to sleep. It's almost as if the movie was too witty for them & the quips and snarky comments went over their daft heads and left a sour taste in their mouths.
I recommend this movie to anyone if you liked the Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock movies then you will thoroughly enjoy this. My only wish is that it was a little longer but that doesn't detract from the quality of the movie.
