McCallum did a walk on in some family comedy where he gave the father some matches on the street, and the kids became convinced that their father was a spy.
Exactly! Solo was supposed to look like a suave international playboy, not one of JE Hoover’s minions.
I’m trying to imagine Robert Vaughn in a buzz-cut, grey suit, skinny black tie, and wing-tips. Just can’t do it! :eek:
When I worked at the Library, a guy tried to sell dope inside.
The cops sent in an undercover guy. He had a button down shirt, blue jeans that were pressed and had a crease, hair just over his collar, and brown dress shoes.
Slightly different example: One of the professors at Middlebury was forced to buy a pair of Soviet shoes while in Moscow (his old pair had been stolen or something). When he tried to buy a ticket to the Bolshoi from scalpers on the street, none of them would give him the time of day. One scalper would size him up and tell the others “Obuv’!” (“Shoes!”) in the way of a warning, thinking he was some kind of undercover cop!
Question: in this movie, Napoleon sometimes refers to Illya by some other name or term – Dursel? Durzel? – something like that. I never got it clearly.
Is this a nickname of some sort, perhaps in Russian? (Similar to Illya referring to Napoleon as “cowboy” perhaps?)
Haven’t seen the movie, but he might have been saying drug moi—“my friend” in Russian.
The plural of *drug *is druz’ya, but why he would say that, I don’t know.
I didn’t catch it properly, but that might have been it.
Darn good excuse for me to see the movie again!
From context, was it positive or negative?
Osyol is an ass, as in “donkey”; *durak *is a fool or an idiot. Stress is on the second syllable in both.
He calls him the “Red Peril” at one point and then “Peril” afterwards.
Which of course did its parody version, The Man from A.U.N.T.I.E., starring Napoleon Polo and Illya Nutcrackin.
Sending Barbara Feldon, who translates Brazilian weather reports, out to get pipe tobacco.
In a mix up she is given top secret information and pursued by Cesar Romero. So at the end she joins CONTROL and Romero puts on clown make up and a green wig to terrorize Gotham city.
One other thing in the tv series they used darts to sedate enemy agents a lot.
Sounds like a Get Smart-Batman crossover.
I recall the episode, but not the actors. Waverly was very pissed off. “Mr. Solo thinks he may have given my humidor to Miss…”
