A movie adaptation of the Man from U.N.C.L.E. series was released in 2015 (directed by Guy Ritchie, starring Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer among others)- I suspect that's what Ms Paula is referring to?
I recently saw the 2015 movie. Not bad. For me, it caught the spirit of the original TV series, and brought it forward, providing a reasonable context for a US/USSR alliance during the Cold War. Also an entertaining movie.
Aha. I shall put it in my Netflix queue forthwith.
The spirit of the original was pretty goofy, as people may see for themselves on DVD these days. I watched Disc 1 a while back. (Illya was still hot, though. It was the brains. Geek girls like brains even more than zombies do.)
Ta, L.
As another geek girl fan - Illya had the brains appeal, but the two of them together had fantastic snarky humor appeal.
