Con pocos personajes recurrentes, la serie atrajo a muchas estrellas invitadas de alto perfil. Los accesorios de la serie se exhiben en la Biblioteca y Museo Presidencial Ronald Reagan y en los museos de la Agencia Central de Inteligencia y otras agencias de inteligencia de Estados Unidos. La serie ganó el Globo de Oro al Mejor programa de televisión en 1966.
Originalmente, el co-creador Sam Rolfe quería dejar ambiguo el significado de UNCLE para que pudiera referirse al " Tío Sam " oa las Naciones Unidas . [2] : 14 Las preocupaciones del departamento legal de MGM sobre el uso de "UN" con fines comerciales dieron lugar a que los productores aclararan que UNCLE era un acrónimo de United Network Command for Law and Enforcement. [3] Cada episodio tenía un "reconocimiento" al TÍO en los títulos finales.
Fondo
La serie consta de 105 episodios transmitidos originalmente entre 1964 y 1968, producidos por las producciones Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer y Arena. La primera temporada se produjo en blanco y negro, el resto en color.
El primer episodio fue transmitido el 22 de septiembre de 1964, como parte de la programación de la NBC del martes por la noche, pero se trasladó a los lunes por la noche, media hora antes, el siguiente enero. [4]
Ian Fleming contribuyó a los conceptos después de ser abordado por el co-creador del programa, Norman Felton . [5] El libro The James Bond Films dice que Fleming propuso dos personajes, Napoleon Solo y April Dancer (que luego aparecerán en la serie derivada The Girl from UNCLE ). El nombre original era Solo de Ian Fleming. [6] Robert Towne , Sherman Yellen y Harlan Ellison más tarde escribieron los guiones de la serie. El autor Michael Avallone , que escribió la primera novela original basada en la serie (ver más abajo), a veces se cita incorrectamente como el creador del programa.
Originalmente, Solo era el foco de la serie, pero la agente rusa Illya Kuryakin atrajo tanto entusiasmo de los fanáticos que los agentes se convirtieron en un equipo. [7]
Premisa
La serie se centró en un equipo de resolución de problemas de dos hombres que trabajaba para la agencia de inteligencia secreta multinacional UNCLE (Comando de la Red Unida para la Ley y el Cumplimiento): el estadounidense Napoleon Solo ( Robert Vaughn ) y el ruso Illya Kuryakin ( David McCallum ). Leo G. Carroll interpretó a Alexander Waverly , el jefe británico de la organización. Barbara Moore se unió al elenco como Lisa Rogers en la cuarta temporada.
La serie, aunque ficticia, alcanzó tal prominencia cultural que la utilería, el vestuario y los documentos, y un videoclip se encuentran en la exhibición del Museo y Biblioteca Presidencial Ronald Reagan sobre espías y contraespías. Exhibiciones similares del TÍO se encuentran en los museos de la Agencia Central de Inteligencia y otras agencias de inteligencia de Estados Unidos. [ cita requerida ]
TORDO
El principal adversario de UNCLE fue THRUSH (WASP en la película piloto). La serie original nunca divulgó quién o qué representaba THRUSH, ni tampoco se usó como acrónimo. En las novelas del TÍO escritas por David McDaniel , representa la Jerarquía tecnológica para la eliminación de indeseables y la subyugación de la humanidad , [8] descrita como fundada por el coronel Sebastian Moran después de la muerte del profesor Moriarty en las cataratas de Reichenbach en el Cuento de Sherlock Holmes " El problema final ". Pero en un episodio de la segunda temporada, la estrella invitada Jessie Royce Landis interpreta a un personaje que afirma haber fundado THRUSH.
El objetivo de THRUSH era conquistar el mundo. THRUSH se consideraba una organización tan peligrosa que incluso los gobiernos que se oponían ideológicamente entre sí, como Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética , habían cooperado en la formación y el funcionamiento de la organización UNCLE. De manera similar, cuando Solo y Kuryakin sostuvieron puntos de vista políticos opuestos, la fricción entre ellos en la historia se mantuvo al mínimo. Aunque el productor ejecutivo Norman Felton e Ian Fleming concibieron a Napoleon Solo, fue el productor Sam Rolfe quien creó la jerarquía global del TÍO, e incluyó al agente soviético, Illya Kuryakin. A diferencia de la CIA o el Servicio Secreto de Inteligencia , UNCLE era una organización global de agentes de muchos países y culturas.
Personaje inocente
Los creadores decidieron que se presentaría un personaje inocente en cada episodio, dando a la audiencia alguien con quien identificarse. [5] A pesar de muchos cambios a lo largo de cuatro temporadas, los "inocentes" se mantuvieron como una constante, desde un ama de casa suburbana en el piloto, "The Vulcan Affair" (versión cinematográfica: Para atrapar a un espía ), hasta los secuestrados en el episodio final , "The Vulcan Affair". Siete maravillas del mundo ".
Episodios
Solo - el piloto
Filmado en color desde finales de noviembre hasta principios de diciembre de 1963, con ubicaciones en una fábrica de jabón de Lever Brothers en California, el piloto de televisión realizado como una película de 70 minutos se tituló originalmente Solo de Ian Fleming y luego se redujo a Solo . Sin embargo, en febrero de 1964, un bufete de abogados que representaba a los productores de películas de James Bond , Harry Saltzman y Albert R. Broccoli, exigió el fin del uso del nombre de Fleming en relación con la serie y el fin del uso del nombre y el personaje "Solo" ". Napoleon Solo "y" Mr. Solo ". En ese momento estaba en marcha el rodaje de la película de Bond Goldfinger , en la que Martin Benson interpretaba a un personaje secundario llamado "Mr. Solo", un jefe de la mafia estadounidense asesinado por Auric Goldfinger . La afirmación era que Fleming les había vendido el nombre "Solo", y Fleming no podía volver a utilizarlo. En cinco días, Fleming había firmado una declaración jurada de que nada en el piloto de Solo infringía a ninguno de sus personajes de Bond, pero la amenaza de una acción legal resultó en un acuerdo en el que el nombre de Napoleón Solo podría mantenerse pero el título del programa tuvo que cambiar.
El papel del jefe de UNCLE en el piloto fue el Sr. Allison, interpretado por Will Kuluva , en lugar del Sr. Waverly, interpretado por Leo G. Carroll, e Illya Kuryakin de David McCallum solo tuvo un papel breve. Se filmaron para televisión revisiones de algunas escenas, incluidas las necesarias para presentar a Leo G. Carroll. El episodio piloto fue reeditado a 50 minutos para ajustarse a un intervalo de tiempo de una hora, convertido a blanco y negro y mostrado en televisión como "The Vulcan Affair".
NBC en Nueva York no estaba contenta con el piloto. Un ejecutivo quería eliminar al personaje ruso, Illya Kuryakin, del elenco, pero no recordaba su nombre, diciendo "K– K–". Felton respondió "¿Kuluva?" y el ejecutivo respondió "Eso es". Felton no discutió porque quería reemplazar a Kuluva de todos modos. Cuando más tarde se le preguntó quién era el reemplazo, Felton respondió: "Leo G. Carroll". El ejecutivo dijo que era demasiado mayor para reemplazar a David McCallum como compañero de Solo. Felton explicó que había reemplazado a Kuluva y que era demasiado tarde para deshacerse de McCallum, ya que los contratos ya estaban firmados. Se ha rumoreado durante años [ cita requerida ] que el ejecutivo en cuestión era Grant Tinker , entonces esposo de Mary Tyler Moore y más tarde presidente de NBC.
Se filmaron secuencias de color adicionales con Luciana Paluzzi en abril de 1964, y luego se agregaron al piloto de MGM para lanzarlo fuera de los Estados Unidos como una película de serie B titulada To Trap a Spy . [2] [ página necesaria ] Esto se estrenó en Hong Kong en noviembre de 1964. Las escenas adicionales fueron reeditadas para atenuar su sexualidad, y luego se utilizaron en la serie regular del episodio "The Four-Steps Affair".
Más allá de escenas adicionales para el largometraje y tomas de escenas revisadas y ediciones realizadas para el episodio de televisión, existen otras diferencias entre las tres versiones de la historia. Antes de que el programa entrara en plena producción, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer estaba preocupado de que el nombre de THRUSH para la organización criminal internacional del piloto se pareciera demasiado a SMERSH , la organización internacional de asesinato de espías en la serie Bond de Fleming. El estudio sugirió Raven, Shark, Squid, Vulture, Tarantula, Snipe, Sphinx, Dooom [ sic ] y Maggot (el último utilizado en los primeros guiones). Aunque no se llevó a cabo ninguna acción legal, el nombre fue apodado como "WASP" en la versión característica To Trap a Spy . El piloto original mantuvo THRUSH (presumiblemente ya que no estaba destinado a ser lanzado al público en esa versión). Felton y Rolfe presionaron por el restablecimiento de "THRUSH". Resultó que WASP no se podía utilizar, ya que la serie de televisión británica Stingray de Gerry Anderson estaba basada en una organización llamada WASP (World Aquanaut Security Patrol). En mayo de 1964, THRUSH fue retenido para la edición del episodio de televisión del piloto. A pesar de esto, WASP fue utilizado por el largometraje en Japón a finales de 1964, y se dejó en el estreno estadounidense en 1966.
Otro cambio entre las tres versiones de la historia piloto fue el nombre de portada del personaje de Elaine May Donaldson. En el piloto original era Elaine Van Nessen; en la versión para televisión y en la versión especial fue Elaine Van Every. El número de placa de Illya Kuryakin es 17 en el piloto, en lugar de 2 durante la serie, y el cabello de Solo, después de que se agregaron nuevas imágenes, cambió de un estilo peinado hacia atrás al estilo menos severo que usó durante toda la serie.
Con la popularidad del programa y la locura de los espías, To Trap a Spy y la segunda función de UNCLE, The Spy with My Face, se lanzaron en los Estados Unidos como una función doble de MGM a principios de 1966.
Temporada 1
La primera temporada del programa fue en blanco y negro . Rolfe creó una especie de mundo de Alicia en el país de las maravillas , donde la vida cotidiana mundana se cruzaba con la fantasía de espejo del espionaje internacional que estaba más allá. El universo de UNCLE era uno en el que los "inocentes" semanales se veían atrapados en una serie de aventuras fantásticas, en una batalla entre el bien y el mal. [5]
La sede del TÍO en la ciudad de Nueva York se ingresaba con mayor frecuencia por un pasaje secreto en la sastrería de Del Floria. Otra entrada fue por The Masque Club. El Sr. Waverly tenía su propia entrada secreta, insinuada en el episodio "The Mad, Mad Tea Party Affair". Los episodios fueron filmados en gran parte en el lote trasero de MGM. [9] El mismo edificio con una imponente escalera exterior se usó para episodios ambientados en el área mediterránea y América Latina, y el mismo camino de tierra bordeado de eucaliptos en el lote trasero de Culver City representó prácticamente todos los continentes del mundo. Los episodios siguieron una convención de nomenclatura en la que cada título tenía la forma de "The ***** Affair", como "The Vulcan Affair", "The Mad, Mad, Tea Party Affair" y "The Waverly Ring Affair". , etc. La única excepción fue "Alejandro el Mayor Asunto". El episodio de la primera temporada "The Green Opal Affair" establece que UNCLE usa el término "affair" para referirse a sus diferentes misiones.
Rolfe se esforzó por hacer que los elementos inverosímiles de la serie parecieran no solo factibles sino también entretenidos. [ cita requerida ] En la serie, hombres rana emergen de pozos en Iowa , ocurren tiroteos entre agentes de UNCLE y THRUSH en un cine abarrotado de Manhattan , y organizaciones de alto secreto se esconden detrás de fachadas de piedra rojiza inocuas . La serie comenzó a incursionar en el espionaje fi , comenzando con "The Double Affair" en el que un agente de THRUSH, hecho para parecerse a Solo mediante cirugía plástica, se infiltra en una instalación secreta del TÍO donde se almacena un arma inmensamente poderosa llamada "Proyecto Earthsave"; según el diálogo, el arma fue desarrollada para proteger contra una potencial amenaza alienígena a la Tierra. The Spy with My Face fue la versión cinematográfica de este episodio.
En su primera temporada El agente de CIPOL competido contra The Red Skelton Mostrar en CBS y Walter Brennan 's de corta duración El magnate de ABC . Durante este tiempo, el productor Norman Felton le dijo a Alan Caillou y a varios de los escritores de la serie que hicieran el programa más irónico . [10]
Temporadas 2-4
Al cambiar al color , UNCLE siguió gozando de gran popularidad. Cuando Rolfe dejó el programa al final de la primera temporada, David Victor se convirtió en el nuevo showrunner . Durante las siguientes tres temporadas, cinco showrunners diferentes supervisarían la franquicia de UNCLE , y cada uno llevó el programa en una dirección que difería considerablemente de la de la primera temporada. En un intento por emular el éxito del éxito de mitad de temporada de ABC , Batman , que había demostrado ser muy popular con su debut a principios de 1966, UNCLE se movió rápidamente hacia la auto-parodia y las payasadas. [7] A diferencia de otras temporadas, la cuarta y última temporada tuvo un personaje femenino recurrente, Lisa Rogers, interpretada por Barbara Moore en diez episodios. [11]
Durante la tercera temporada, los productores tomaron una decisión consciente para aumentar el nivel de humor. [7] Esta nueva dirección resultó en una caída severa de las calificaciones de Nielsen , y casi resultó en la cancelación del programa. Se renovó para una cuarta temporada y se intentó volver a la narración seria, pero los índices de audiencia nunca se recuperaron y el TÍO se canceló a mitad de temporada. [7]
Spin-off: La chica de UNCLE
La serie fue lo suficientemente popular como para generar una serie derivada, The Girl from UNCLE (1966-1967) La "niña" se presentó por primera vez durante el episodio de The Man From UNCLE " The Moonglow Affair " (25 de febrero de 1966) y luego se jugó por Mary Ann Mobley . La serie derivada duró una temporada, protagonizada por Stefanie Powers como la agente "April Dancer", un nombre de personaje atribuido a Ian Fleming, y Noel Harrison como el agente Mark Slate (que había sido interpretado de manera sustancialmente diferente por el actor Norman Fell en el piloto). . Hubo cierto cruce entre los dos programas, y Leo G. Carroll interpretó al Sr. Waverly en ambos programas, convirtiéndose en el segundo actor de la televisión estadounidense en interpretar al mismo personaje en dos series separadas.
Película de televisión Reunión
Un telefilme de reunión , Return of the Man from UNCLE, subtitulado The Fifteen Years Later Affair, fue transmitido por CBS en Estados Unidos el 5 de abril de 1983, con Vaughn y McCallum retomando sus papeles, y Patrick Macnee reemplazando a Leo G. Carroll , quien había muerto en 1972, como director del TÍO Una imagen enmarcada de Carroll apareció en su escritorio. La película incluía un tributo a Ian Fleming a través de un cameo de un agente secreto no identificado con las iniciales "JB". El papel fue interpretado por George Lazenby, quien se mostró conduciendo el vehículo característico de James Bond, un Aston Martin DB5 . Un personaje, que lo identifica, dice que es "como En el servicio secreto de Su Majestad ", que fue la única película de Bond de Lazenby.
La película, escrita por Michael Sloan y dirigida por Ray Austin , completó brevemente los años que faltan. THRUSH había cerrado, y la fuga de su líder de la prisión comienza la historia. Solo y Kuryakin, que se habían retirado, son llamados por el TÍO para recuperar al fugitivo y derrotar a THRUSH de una vez por todas. Sin embargo, en lugar de reunir a los agentes y recuperar su química, los agentes se separan y se emparejan con agentes más jóvenes. Como la mayoría de películas de reencuentro similares, esta producción se consideró un globo de prueba para una posible nueva serie que nunca se materializó.
Aunque estuvo involucrado personal de la serie original (como el compositor Gerald Fried y el director de fotografía Fred Koenekamp), la película no fue producida por MGM sino por Michael Sloan Productions en asociación con Viacom Productions .
Tema musical
The theme music, written by Jerry Goldsmith, changed slightly each season.[12] Goldsmith provided only three original scores and was succeeded by Morton Stevens, who composed four scores for the series. After Stevens, Walter Scharf did six scores, and Lalo Schifrin did two. Gerald Fried was composer from season two through the beginning of season four. The final composers were Robert Drasnin (who also scored episodes of Mission: Impossible, as did Schifrin, Scharf, and Fried), Nelson Riddle (whose score for the two-part episode "The Concrete Overcoat Affair" was so loathed by Norman Felton that he never hired the composer again, although the music did get tracked into other third-season episodes), and Richard Shores.
The music reflected the show's changing seasons. Goldsmith, Stevens, and Scharf composed dramatic scores in the first season using brass, unusual time signatures and martial rhythms. Gerald Fried and Robert Drasnin opted for a lighter approach in the second, employing harpsichords and bongos. By the third season, the music, like the show, had become more camp, exemplified by an R&B organ and saxophone version of the theme. The fourth season's attempt at seriousness was duly echoed by Richard Shores' somber scores.
Estrellas invitadas y otros actores
Apart from Solo, Kuryakin and Waverly, very few recurring characters appeared on the show with any regularity. As a result, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. featured many high-profile guest performers during its three-and-a-half-year run.
William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy appeared together in a 1964 episode, "The Project Strigas Affair", a full two years before Star Trek premiered. Shatner played a heroic civilian recruited for an U.N.C.L.E. mission, and Nimoy played the villain's henchman. The villain was portrayed by Werner Klemperer.[13] James Doohan appeared in multiple episodes, each time as a different character.
Barbara Feldon played an U.N.C.L.E. translator eager for field work in "The Never-Never Affair", one year before becoming one of the stars of Get Smart. Robert Culp played the villain in 1964's "The Shark Affair". Leigh Chapman appeared in a recurring role as Napoleon Solo's secretary, Sarah, for several episodes in 1965.[14]
Woodrow Parfrey appeared five times as a guest performer, although he never received an opening-title credit. Usually cast as a scientist, he played the primary villain in one episode, "The Cherry Blossom Affair". Another five-time guest star was Jill Ireland, who at the time was married to David McCallum. Ricardo Montalbán appeared in two episodes as the primary villain. "The Five Daughters Affair" featured a cameo appearance by Joan Crawford. Janet Leigh and Jack Palance appeared in "The Concrete Overcoat Affair" and Sonny and Cher made an appearance in the third season episode "The Hot Number Affair".[13] Other notable guest stars included: Richard Anderson, Eve Arden, Whitney Blake, Joan Blondell, Lloyd Bochner, Judy Carne, Roger C. Carmel, Ted Cassidy, Joan Collins, Walter Coy, Yvonne Craig, Broderick Crawford, Kim Darby, Albert Dekker, Ivan Dixon, Chad Everett, Anne Francis, Grayson Hall, Pat Harrington Jr., James Hong, Allen Jenkins, Patsy Kelly, Richard Kiel, Marta Kristen, Elsa Lanchester, Martin Landau, Angela Lansbury, Julie London, Jack Lord, Lynn Loring, Jan Murray, Leslie Nielsen, William Marshall, Eve McVeagh, Carroll O'Connor, David Opatoshu, Leslie Parrish, Eleanor Parker, Slim Pickens, Vincent Price, Dorothy Provine, Cesar Romero, Charles Ruggles, Kurt Russell, Telly Savalas, Nancy Sinatra, Guthrie Thomas, Terry-Thomas, Rip Torn, Fritz Weaver, and Elen Willard (in her last acting appearance).
Artilugio
Communications devices
The characters in the series had a range of useful spy equipment, including handheld satellite communicators. A catchphrase often heard was "Open Channel D" when agents used their pocket radios; these were originally disguised as cigarette packs, later as cigarette case, and still later as fountain pen.[15] One of the original pen communicator theatrical property is now in the museum of the CIA.[16] Replicas have been made over the years for other displays, and this is the second-most-identifiable prop from the series (closely following the U.N.C.L.E. Special pistol).[17]
U.N.C.L.E. car
A few of the third-and fourth-season episodes featured an "U.N.C.L.E. car", which was a modified "Piranha Coupe", a plastic-bodied concept car based on the Chevrolet Corvair chassis built in limited numbers by the custom car designer Gene Winfield.[18] The U.N.C.L.E. car had been lost after the end of the TV series, but it was found in Colorado during the early 1980s, and it was restored to original condition by Oscar-winning special effects artist Robert Short of California.[19]
Weaponry
One prop, designed by the toy designer Reuben Klamer[20] often referred to as "The Gun", drew so much attention that it actually spurred considerable fan mail, and was often so addressed. Internally designated the "U.N.C.L.E. Special", it was a modular semi-automatic firearm weapon. The basic pistol could be converted into a longer-range carbine by attaching a long barrel, an extendable shoulder stock, a telescopic sight, and an extended magazine. In this "carbine mode", the pistol could fire on full automatic. This capability brought authorities to the set to investigate reports that the studio was illegally manufacturing machine gun. They threatened to confiscate the prop guns and it took a tour of the prop room to convince them that these were actually "dummy" pistols incapable of firing live ammunition. The actual pistol used as the prop was the Mauser Model 1934 Pocket Pistol, but it was unreliable, it jammed constantly, and it was dwarfed by the carbine accessories. It was soon replaced by the larger and more-reliable Walther P38.
The long magazine was actually a standard magazine with a dummy extension, but it inspired several small-arms manufacturers to begin making long magazines for various pistols. While many of these continue to be available 40 years later, long magazines were not available for the P38 for some years.[clarification needed]
THRUSH had a range of weaponry of its own, much of them only in the development stage before being destroyed by the heroes. A notable item was the infrared sniperscope, enabling villains to aim gunfire in total darkness. The prop was built from a U.S. Army-surplus M1 carbine, with a vertical foregrip and barrel compensator, and using army-surplus infrared scopes. The infrared special effect was achieved using a searchlight to illuminate the target. The viewfinder image was a negative version of the film. When the scopes were switched on a pulsing chirp sound effect was used. The fully equipped carbines were seen only once, in "The Iowa Scuba Affair". After that, a mockup of the scope was used to make handling easier.
German small arms were well represented in the series. Not only were P38s frequently seen (both as the U.N.C.L.E. Special and in standard configuration), but also the Luger pistol pistol. In the pilot episode "The Vulcan Affair", Illya Kuryakin is carrying a M1911 pistol. The Mauser C96 and MP 40 machine pistols were favored by opponents. U.N.C.L.E. also used the MP 40. Beginning in the third season, both U.N.C.L.E and THRUSH agents used rifles that were either the Spanish CETME or the Heckler & Koch G3 (based on the CETME).

Largometrajes
Theatrical releases of episodes
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. rated so highly in America and the UK that MGM and the producers decided to film extra footage (often more adult to evoke Bond films) for two of the first season episodes and release them to theaters after they had aired on TV. The episodes with the extra footage that made it to theaters were the original pilot, "The Vulcan Affair", retitled To Trap a Spy and "The Double Affair" retitled as The Spy with My Face. Both had added sex and violence, new sub-plots and guest stars not in the original TV episodes. They were released in early 1966 as an U.N.C.L.E. double-feature program first run in neighborhood theaters, bypassing the customary downtown movie palaces which were still thriving in the mid-1960s and where new movies usually played for weeks or months before coming to outlying screens.
A selling point to seeing these films theatrically was that they were being shown in color, at a time when most people had only black and white TVs (and indeed the two first-season episodes that were expanded to feature length, while filmed in color, had only been broadcast in black and white). The words "in color" featured prominently on the trailers, TV spots, and posters for the film releases. The episodes used to make U.N.C.L.E. films were not included in the packages of television episodes screened outside the United States.[2][page needed]
Subsequent two-part episodes, beginning with the second season premiere, "Alexander The Greater Affair", retitled One Spy Too Many for its theatrical release, were developed into one complete feature film with only occasional extra sexy and violent footage added to them, sometimes as just inserts. In the case of One Spy Too Many, a subplot featuring Yvonne Craig as an U.N.C.L.E. operative carrying on a flirtatious relationship with Solo was also added to the film; Craig does not appear in the television episodes.
The later films were not released in America, only overseas, but the first few did well in American theaters and remain one of the rare examples of a television show released in paid theatrical engagements. With the exception of the two-part episode "The Five Daughters Affair", shown as part of Granada Plus's run of the series, the episodes which became movies have never aired on British television.
The films in the series:
- To Trap a Spy (1964)
- The Spy with My Face (1965)
- One Spy Too Many (1966)
- One of Our Spies Is Missing (1966)
- The Spy in the Green Hat (1966)

2015 remake
A film adaptation of the television series was produced by Warner Bros. and Turner Entertainment, and was released in 2015. Directed by Guy Ritchie, the film stars Armie Hammer, Henry Cavill, and Hugh Grant as Kuryakin, Solo, and Waverly, respectively.[27] Filming began in September 2013,[28] and the movie was released on August 14, 2015. The film received generally positive reviews.[29]

Soundtrack albums
Although album recordings of the series had been made by Hugo Montenegro and many orchestras cover versions of the title theme, it wasn't until 2002 that the first of three double-disc albums of original music from the series were released through Film Score Monthly (FSM).
Comic books
Several comic books based on the series were published. In the US, there was a Gold Key Comics series which ran for twenty-two issues. Entertainment Publishing released an eleven-issue series of one- and two-part stories from January 1987 to September 1988 that updated U.N.C.L.E. to the 1980s, while largely ignoring the reunion TV-movie. A two-part comics story, "The Birds of Prey Affair", was put out by Millennium Publications in 1993, which showcased the return of a smaller, more-streamlined version of THRUSH, controlled by Dr. Egret, who had melded with the Ultimate Computer. The script was written by Mark Ellis and Terry Collins, with artwork by Nick Choles, and transplanted the characters into the 1990s.
Two Man from U.N.C.L.E. strips were originated for the British market in the 1960s (some Gold Key material was also reprinted), the most notable for Lady Penelope comic, which launched in January 1966. This was replaced by a Girl from U.N.C.L.E. strip in January 1967. Man from U.N.C.L.E. also featured in the short-lived title Solo (published between February and September 1967) and some text stories appeared in TV Tornado.
In 2015–2016, DC Comics launched Batman '66 Meets the Man from U.N.C.L.E., a crossover with its Batman '66 series.
Merchandise
Licensed merchandise included a Man from U.N.C.L.E. digest-size story magazine, board games, Gilbert action figures, Aurora plastic model kits, lunch boxes, and toy guns.[30]
An example of this, the Louis Marx "Target Gun Set", a dart-gun shooting-game released in the form of a quasi-playset, is built around the setting of U.N.C.L.E. headquarters in New York City. Art on the cardboard stand displays both the U.N.C.L.E. and THRUSH logos, and a half-dozen soft plastic figures per "side" were provided, including Solo, Kuryakin and Waverly. The game measures 57 by 18 inches (145 cm × 46 cm); the figures, at 6 inches (15 cm), represent one of the few attempts Marx made at supplementing its 6-inch figure line. The U.N.C.L.E. figures are cast in blue, except for a single (unnamed) figure in tan; THRUSH agents are cast in gray. Marx was released an arcade game licensed under The Man from U.N.C.L.E.[31]
Corgi Toys produced a die-cast toy model of the "Thrushbuster", an Oldsmobile 88, with figures of 'Napoleon Solo' and 'Illya Kuryakin' which popped in and out of the car windows firing guns by pressing down on a model periscope protruding through the roof.[32]
Novels
Two dozen novels were based upon Man from U.N.C.L.E. and published between 1965 and 1968. Unhampered by television censors, the novels were generally grittier and more violent than the televised episodes.

The digest-sized Man from U.N.C.L.E. Magazine featured original novella continuing the adventures of Solo and Kuryakin. Published under the house name "Robert Hart Davis", they were written by such authors as John Jakes, Dennis Lynds, and Bill Pronzini. 24 issues, which also offered original crime and spy-fiction short stories and novelettes, and occasional SF and fantasy reprints under the title "Department of Lost Stories", ran monthly from February 1966 to January 1968. An additional novella entitled "The Vanishing City Affair" was advertised on page 140 of the January 1968 issue for the proposed (but never published) February 1968 issue. It is as yet unconfirmed, however, if this novella was shelved for possible future release elsewhere or if it was ever written at all.
Three science-fiction novels appear to be rewrites of "orphaned" U.N.C.L.E. novel outlines or manuscripts: Genius Unlimited by John Rackham (a pseudonym of Phillifent), The Arsenal Out of Time by McDaniel, and Agent Of T.E.R.R.A. #1: The Flying Saucer Gambit by Jack Jardine (writing as Larry Maddock).

In November 2007, after coming to an agreement with Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, Time Life released a 41 DVD set (region 1) for direct order, with sales through stores scheduled for fall 2008.[33] An earlier release by Anchor Bay, allegedly set for 2006, was apparently scuttled because of a dispute over the rights to the series with Warner Home Video.[34][35]
On October 21, 2008, the Time-Life set was released to retail outlets in Region 1 (North America) in a special all-seasons box set contained within a small briefcase. The complete-series set consists of 41 DVDs, including two discs of special features included exclusively with the box set. Included in the set was the Solo pilot episode, as well as one of the films, One Spy Too Many. Paramount Pictures and CBS Home Entertainment released Return Of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. to DVD in Region 1 on March 3, 2009.[36][37]
On August 23, 2011, Warner Archive Collection released The Man from U.N.C.L.E. 8-Movie Collection on DVD via their "manufacture on demand" service.[38] On November 4, 2014, Warner Home Video released the complete series set on DVD in Region 1 in a new repackaged version.[39] On August 4, 2015, Warner Home Video released an individual release of season 1 on DVD in Region 1.[40] Season 2 was released on February 2, 2016.[41]

Television and film
Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (which replaced UNCLE) in its premier episode Jan. 22, 1968 one week after the final episode of UNCLE aired during the cocktail party sketch has Man From Uncle as the punch line of the final joke, prompting Leo G. Carroll in a cameo as the bartender to pull out a radio pen and say into it, "Kuryakin, get over here fast. I think I've found THRUSH headquarters at last!"[45] [46]
MGM's 1966 production "The Glass Bottom Boat" contains a scene in which Paul Lynde dresses up as a woman so that he can follow Doris Day, whom he suspects is an enemy agent, into the Ladies' Room. As makes his way through a crowded party, he passes the bar - at which Robert Vaughn is standing in evening dress. The musical score strikes up the Man from U.N.C.L.E. theme as Napoleon Solo gives the Lynde character a bemused once-over.
In 1967, MGM released a theatrical Tom & Jerry short produced and directed by Chuck Jones titled "The Mouse from H.U.N.G.E.R." paid homage to the show, with Jerry as a secret agent tasked with the mission of retrieving a sizeable stash of cheese from the villainous Tom Thrush (portrayed by Tom).
References to the show in popular culture began during its original broadcast when it was parodied in an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show, fittingly titled "The Man from My Uncle". References in other television shows have continued over the years, including a 2010 episode of Mad Men called "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword". It has also been referenced in other television shows including Get Smart and Angry Beavers,.
The TV show My Favorite Martian (1963–1966) also used CRUSH as the name of the evil spy organization, spoofing THRUSH in two episodes. In the season two episode "006 3/4", Tim finds a distress note from Agent 006 of Top Secret, who is being tracked by CRUSH. Top Secret asks Tim to assist Agent 004, to save 006. In the season three episode "Butterball" Uncle Martin must rescue Tim who is kidnapped by Butterball.
A 1966 episode of The Avengers was titled "The Girl from AUNTIE".
In a 1966 episode of the sitcom Please Don't Eat the Daisies titled "Say UNCLE", the young twins are fans of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and become convinced that their father Jim is a secret agent. In one scene, they watch Jim emerge from a tailor shop similar to Del Floria's. Another man entering the shop asks Jim for a match, and Jim gives him his matchbook. The boys are astonished, because the other man is David McCallum, identified in the ending credits as Illya Kuryakin; they believe their father has just passed a secret message to the "real-life" Illya Kuryakin. The scene ends with the U.N.C.L.E scene transition: the action freezes and goes out of focus.[47]
It was also referenced in Glad commercials in the late 1960s and early 1970s, which starred the "Man from GLAD", a trenchcoat-wearing agent who flew around in his combination boat/helicopter demonstrating Glad products to suburban housewives and saving the day.
In 1970, a "secret agent" theme was used by Australian confectionery manufacturer Allen's to market their Anticol cough lozenges, with TV commercials running under the title "The Man From A.N.T.I.C.O.L.", featuring agent "Napoleon Brandy" combatting illnesses being spread by the agents of S.L.A.S.H.[48][49]
In a late 1986 episode of The A-Team, Robert Vaughn – who had been added to the show's cast as mysterious retired agent for the show's final season, as part of an effort to revive flagging ratings – was reunited with guest star David McCallum, in an episode entitled "The 'Say U.N.C.L.E.' Affair". This story paid homage to The Man from U.N.C.L.E., complete with chapter titles, the word "affair" in the title, the phrase "Open Channel D", similar scene transitions, and much mention of Vaughn's and McCallum's respective characters having once worked closely together as agents.[50] But in this story, McCallum's agent had turned villainous, selling out to the enemy and now capturing Vaughn to try to find out the whereabouts of a Soviet jet fighter.
Beginning in 2003, McCallum starred in the CBS television series NCIS as Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard, M.D., a medical examiner. During the episode "The Meat Puzzle" (season 2, episode 13), as an inside joke, Naval Criminal Investigation Service agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) is asked, "What did Ducky look like when he was younger?" Gibbs responds, "Illya Kuryakin". The photo supposedly of a younger Ducky is actually a promotional photo from McCallum's Man from U.N.C.L.E. days.
On the fifth episode of the fourth season of Mad Men (2010), "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", as Sally Draper is watching an episode of the show at a sleepover, she is caught by her friend's mother absent-mindedly masturbating (apparently to David McCallum's Illya) while staring at the television. The episode shown is approximately correct for the year and month (March 1965) the Mad Men episode is set in.
Ben Elton: The Man from Auntie was a British television comedy series written and performed by Ben Elton. The title of the series was a play on words of both the American spy series The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and "Auntie", an informal name for the BBC.
A scene from The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is shown in the HBO movie Temple Grandin, the biographical movie about Temple Gradin who overcame many of her symptoms to acquire a Ph.D. in Animal Sciences, and in an early scene from the film, Claire Danes, who played Grandin in the film, repeated a line from the episode "The Gazebo in the Maze Affair": "Would you like for me to open the gate?"
The TV show was mentioned in the 2019 film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. There's a scene where Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) is told by casting agent Marvin Schwarz (Al Pacino) that due to Dalton playing the heavy in weekly television, he'll get typecasting to play the heavy in other media.
A colorful whip pan shot, similar to the TV show scene transitions, appears in Kill Bill Vol. 1 before the ticket-to-Okinawa and ticket-to-Japan scenes. Chapter Four is also titled "The MAN From Okinawa".
Comic books
Gold Key Comics released comic book series based on The Man from U.N.C.L.E in 1965 - 1969 and it ran for 22 issues.[51]
The 1965–1969 comic book series T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents (The Higher United Nations Defense Enforcement Reserves) (Tower Comics), a strange combination of secret agents and superheroes, was inspired by the success of The Man from U.N.C.L.E.[52]
The Marvel Universe spy agency S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Marvel Universe terror society Hydra (both created in 1965) were inspired by the Man From U.N.C.L.E. television program.[53]
The Man from R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E. was a Man From U.N.C.L.E. parody in Archie Comics published in 1966–1967. The comic portrayed Archie and the gang as a group of high-tech spies, as part of world-defense organization P.O.P. (an acronym for Protect our Planet). Their chief enemy was a counter-group known as C.R.U.S.H. (a spoof on THRUSH but whose acronym was never explained). Although Reggie, Veronica and Moose were initially cast as C.R.U.S.H. agents, they later became members of P.O.P. All the characters also had undefined acronyms for names (A.R.C.H.I.E., B.E.T.T.Y., etc.). R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E. stood for Really Impressive Vast Enterprise for Routing Dangerous Adversaries, Louts, Etc.[54]
Books
Ted Mark's The Man from O.R.G.Y. ("Organization for the Rational Guidance of Youth") series of erotic literature paperback (Lancer Books) was a take-off of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. The series ran from 1965 to 1981 and inspired a 1970 film. Another 34-title The Man from O.R.G.Y. series was published by Paperback Library from 1967 to 1973. Another similar title was The Man from S.T.U.D., by F. W. Paul (Paul W. Fairman), which published 11 titles between 1968 and 1971. Rod Gray's "Lady from L.U.S.T." (League of Undercover Spies and Terrorists) erotic fiction novels were a take-off of The Man from U.N.C.L.E; 25 books in the series were published between 1968 and 1975. Other similar pastiche paperback series included The Man From T.O.M.C.A.T., The Miss from S.I.S., The Man from S.A.D.I.S.T.O., The Man from P.A.N.S.Y., and The Girl from H.A.R.D.
"Lyra and Bon Bon and the Mares From S.M.I.L.E." is an upcoming title in the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic chapter books published by Little, Brown, and Company, to be released in March 2016.[needs update]
Music
Musical examples include the song "Man Called Uncle" from Elvis Costello's 1980 album Get Happy!! and an Argentinian funk duo who took the name Illya Kuryaki and the Valderramas honoring the fictitious spy. Alma Cogan paid a similar tribute to the Russian agent in her single "Love Ya Illya", released in 1966 under the pseudonym "Angela and the Fans". In the 1980s, Martin Newell penned "Ilya Kuryakin Looked at Me"; the song was later covered by The Jennifers. The English two-tone band The Specials made an instrumental song called "Napoleon Solo". It was also the name of a Danish 2 Tone band. Space–surf band Man or Astro-man? covered the theme song for their 1994 EP Astro Launch. Man or Astro-man are instrumental, not surf however. The British trip-hop group Unkle derive their name from the show.
Video games
The protagonist in the spy-fi video games The Operative: No One Lives Forever (2000) and No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way (2002) works for an organization known as U.N.I.T.Y. The villains in both games work for an organization known as H.A.R.M. In the first game the main character (Cate Archer) overhears two H.A.R.M. guards talking about how they thought Man from U.N.C.L.E. was a good show.
The video game Team Fortress 2 (2007) has an achievement referencing the show, named "The Man From P.U.N.C.T.U.R.E."
Podcast
The fourth episode of the Paperback Warrior podcast focuses on The Man from U.N.C.L.E. novels and their impact on the spy-fiction genre. The show's co-host, Tom Simon, discusses both Michael Avalone's The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (a.k.a. The Thousand Coffin Affair) novel as well as Harry Whittington's The Doomsday Affair. Additionally, the co-host points to many successful authors contributing to the series' novels and novellas and suggests a three-book series entitled The Man from W.A.R. by Michael Kurland was directly influenced by The Man from U.N.C.L.E. series.[55]
