Never cared for Star Trek, but I had every paperback, comic book and pulp monthly that came out for The Man from U.N.C.L.E. I'll never forget Christmas of 1965 when I got a model kit for the new Olds Toronado, a bottle of Hai Karate aftershave, and . . . The Man from U.N.C.L.E multi-attachment pistol toy that came in a black-plastic attache case. Oh, I was the most mysterious and sweet-smelling 13-year-old in Marathon, Florida, that Christmas!!! They're probably still wondering who that skinny kid in the London Fog trenchcoat was down there!!! --Jim Please visit my blog: http://jimsworldandwelcometoit.com/ |

Here's another stumper: Can anyone remember the numbers agent Solo and "the other guy" had on their triangular yellow ID badges?!?!? Also, for those who might have thought that this TV show was a rip-off of James Bond, I read somewhere that the initial concept and character names were developed by Ian Fleming. --Jim Please visit my blog: http://jimsworldandwelcometoit.com/ |

I think he played a Russian. (01-07-2013 08:34 PM)Jim Page Wrote:(01-07-2013 08:04 PM)Linda Anderson Wrote: Anybody remember (without looking it up) the names of the two actors and who they played? Why wouldn't it be fair, Jim? If you remember it, that is fine. I know McCallum's character's name, but I can't remember how to spell it. |

I won't swear my spelling is correct either, but the McCallum character was named Ilya Kuryakin. McCallum's wife, Jill Ireland, was often on the show, too. And, of course, The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. was Stephanie Powers! --Jim Please visit my blog: http://jimsworldandwelcometoit.com/ |

I forgot McCallum was married to Jill Ireland and I also forgot about the Girl from U.N.C.L.E with one of my favorite actresses. Someone else will have to guess the ID badge numbers. For some reason I'm thinking it's 66. |

I sure hope there is information in the book about Mrs. Surratt being the one who held Booth's horse in the alley. That's what Mr. Wally said happened.

And don't forget that Lewis Powell and Lewis Paine were TWO different people - one good and one evil! And Lewis Powell's one eyed nag which miraculously changed from a neutered gelding back into a full stallion as Powell rode away from Seward's house! Now, there is SOME sort of definite conspiracy there!

I think my whole decades of the 1960s and 70s just flashed before my eyes! You guys are wonderful.
Gene, I especially like your take-off on the Wacko...Theories for Dummies. Reminds me of some ads I've seen. |

RE: Trivial Trivia - taking trivia to new levels
Gene's little piece for some reason made me think of Cheech and Chong being in the Garrett tobacco barn!
As for The Man from U.N.C.L.E. ID badge numbers, Napolean's was 11, Illya's was 2, and Mr. Waverley's was 1. --Jim Please visit my blog: http://jimsworldandwelcometoit.com/ |
