Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A Man from UNCLE film which sees Solo and Kuryakin on the trail of a notorious safecracker (Dillman) in Greece. Inevitably their quest leads to a plot to dominate the world, this time by a sect of white-haired mystics, and the team fight their way through several continents. It's all pretty static low-budget stuff, with only a few guest appearances to help things along: Carol Lynley, for example, as a mini-skirted all-American girl, bent on revenge.Author: DP
