The U.N.C.L.E. Movie

UNCLE-VARIETYThe 40-year odyssey to make a Man From U.N.C.L.E. movie was the subject of this Variety story, for which I interviewed producer John Davis, original star Robert Vaughn, and Return of the Man From U.N.C.L.E. consultant Robert Short. The print version (pictured here) featured lots of fun, colorful sidebar information that somehow didn’t translate well to the Variety website.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (complete series)

A very ambitious project: Not just the first commercial release of all 105 episodes (including the uncut pilot, titled Solo), but also an attempt to go behind the scenes in several featurettes, including new interviews with stars Robert Vaughn and David McCallum.JBonUNCLEDVD1 This was a landmark spy series of the ’60s, a personal favorite, and it was a pleasure to do a 24-minute segment on the music of U.N.C.L.E. (as well as consulting with the producers, supplying material for the other featurettes, and writing the booklet essay on Season 4). I even supplied the photograph of Del Floria’s Tailor Shop that’s on the inside cover of the “attache case” that contains all the discs.
