THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. – The Galatea Affair - 1966
This is the 62nd 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.
This one is a pretty good episode with several nice turns by the episodes, guest stars, Joan Collins (in a dual role) and Noel Harrison. While UNCLE agent Robert Vaughn is out with the flu, agent Noel Harrison is brought in to replace him. UNCLE is after a major player in the THRUSH organization. They are not quite sure who the man is. They have figured out that a Baroness, Joan Collins, is acting as a courier for THRUSH. They plan on using a look like bar maid, (Collins again) to trade places with the Baroness. They know that the Baroness works for the mystery THRUSH higher up.
One quickly realizes that the story is really a variation on "My Fair Lady". (Noel's father, Rex Harrison was the lead in that film) Anyways, Harrison's job is to teach his Collins how to be a proper lady, while McCallum is sent to get close to the Baroness.
Also in the mix, are Carl Esmond as the wheelchair bound Baron, and Michael St Clair as a THRUSH gunman. The gag here is that THRUSH knows about the planned switch. They strike first and the Baroness pretends to be the barmaid. Said barmaid is keep drugged up at the Baron's castle.
Of course Collins and Harrison end up swapping spit with Harrison falling for the woman. Everything works out in the end, as the UNCLE agent tumble to the switch. They make their own move and the proper Collins' are soon back in their proper place. The Baroness decides that THRUSH is not for her and joins the UNCLE side.
This one is much better than I was expecting considering the direction some of the last few episodes were going. One of the better bits is Esmond's wheelchair, which is equipped with a machine gun, booze dispenser and a supply of cigarettes.
