Open Channel D: The Man From UNCLE Affair

" There was a piano in the front room of the Nelsons' house, and whenever he wasn't at school or at school or at the local Seventh Day Adventist church, the young Prince - nicknamed Skipper by his mom - could be found playing it. The first pieces he learnt to play were the theme tunes to Batman and The Man From UNCLE ". From the book Chaos, Disorder and Revolution , by Jason Draper

The UNCLE was an organization with many secretaries. They conduct research and established contact between the agents and the director Alexander Waverly. Occasionally they worked in bikini taking artificial sunbathing (when no one was looking). This means that the UNCLE was a misogynist organization? We can not forget that the series was produced between 1964 and 1968. And the world was very different. In many offices the secretaries were treated as prostitutes. This became very clear in the series Mad Men , which portrayed the same period. But the secretaries of UNCLE were not call girls. They had an active role in global security and pioneered the use of computers. Some of them became agents. Here are some shots of the UNCLE secretaries in the first 11 chapters: Much more about UNCLE: Amazon.com  -  http://goo.gl/OD1XKW   Amazon Australia  -  http://goo.gl/ODQYPY   Amazon Brazil  -  http://goo.gl/qYPYg6   Ama...

BY KENNIE BASS  FRIDAY, MARCH 25TH 2016 August 14, 2015 "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." Studio: Warner Bros. Rated PG-13for action violence, some suggestive content, and partial nudity In the 1960s, the United States and Soviet Union weren`t exactly on the best of terms. But at the height of the Cold War, the two sides come together to try and save the world. Based on a 60s TV series in which the stars worked for the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement,"The Man From U.N.C.L.E." features Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) and Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer) as secret agents with very different ways of doing their jobs. But, they team up on a joint mission to stop a rogue organization from obtaining nuclear weapons. However, their relationship gets off to a rocky start, with Illya trying to do Solo in. That's probably not the best way to begin a brand new partnership. Eventually the unlikely allies get on the same page. However, even when they`re working toget...

MARCH 15, 2016 5:30PM Colin Vickery News Corp Australia Network STUFF retirement! That is David McCallum’s attitude to life. The 82-year-old is still going strong as Dr Donald “Ducky” Mallard in NCIS.  The  Scottish-born actor  was best known as Ilya Kuryakin  in 1960s spy series The Man from U.N.C.L.E.  before he joined the cast of the US navy crime drama. (...)  McCallum goes into a reflective mood when asked about the recent movie remake of The Man from U.N.C.L.E.  “It was such a big change in my life leaving Britain and going to America, getting the series, and it being successful,” McCallum says. “It also marked a big personal change because my wife Jill (Ireland) went off with Charles Bronson and I met Katherine. I met her 50 years ago and we’ve been married for 48 of them and have our children and grandchildren.” To read the complete story click here. Much more about UNCLE: Amazon.com  -  http://goo.gl/O...

Henry Cavill in movies for the money 11th Mar 16 | Entertainment News Henry Cavill thinks his box office bomb The Man from U.N.C.L.E. should have been marketed differently. Henry Cavill admits making loads of a money is one of the primary motivations behind his acting career.  The 32-year-old Man of Steel star has amassed a $14 million (£9.8 million) fortune, according to   CelebrityNetWorth.com , and he has no shame being honest about the financial perks of his profession. (...) Henry co-starred with Armie Hammer in director Guy Ritchie's 2015 release The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and although there was a huge buzz around the flick, which was made with a budget of $75 million (£52 million), it didn't do very well commercially, having earned just $109 million (£76 million) at the global box office. "It didn't do badly, but it should have done better, because everyone I've spoken to loved it," he notes. "Maybe it should have been marketed slightly ...

The second edition of Open Channel D: The Man From UNCLE Affair   is on sale at all the Amazon/Kindle virtual stores. The book has been totally revised by collaborator Claudio Poles and the author. And it was expanded to include a new chapter about the motion picture directed by Guy Ritchie in 2015.  This is a sample of the new chapter: The film directed by Guy Ritchie (...) performed poorly at box office, and has only got a reasonable ranking in DVD / Blu-ray rentals. A continuation is uncertain. Which is sad, when we talk about the future of a pop culture myth.  The film is remarkable in style, time set, original soundtrack, most of the cast and the action scenes (which have always been the director’s trademark). But at least eight big mistakes have been committed at adapting the series. (That’s, of course, solely this author’s opinion). 1) There’s no UNCLE in The Man From UNCLE - Starting the story before the actual creation of the UNCLE organization was a ...
