Although I love all four seasons of The Man from U.N.C.L.E., I have to admit the first season episodes, with their moody noir atmosphere, beautiful B&W cinematography, and delicate moral ambiguity, are the ones I admire most. And I love this episode, in 1964, for letting the housewife rescue the spy.

"The Vulcan Affair" (The Man from U.N.C.L.E. 1.1)

I watched that two weeks ago and loved it. I'm only three discs into the series-- I haven't seen any of the later seasons yet, but so far I'm enjoying the black-and-white ones immensely.

We picked up a few of the old VHS a while back and watched those, and noted at the time that the early b&W episodes seemed a lot darker in tone than the later ones. And Illya Kuryakin is more ruthless. :D

MMMMMMMMMMMM, first season. I just watched "The Vulcan Affair" a few weeks ago. Napoleon, if on a tv show today, would likely be labelled a skeezy horndog for some of his antics....
