The plot of films like this doesn't much matter, just the over the top way in which they are executed band those cool 60's costumes and very mod sets. When you've got a destructive device called the "thermal prism", the little details don't matter, but it's fun to watch Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin go about their business in dealing with the campy villains played by John Dehner and Bradford Dillman. They have sex pot wives played by Lola Albright and Julie London, and a funny divided screen shows gentleman with his girlfriend present talking on the phone to London with her boyfriend present. Dillman actually declares "My wife doesn't understand me", right before setting up an assassination order on Solo whom London has just tried to seduce.
Robert Vaughn and David McCallum are obviously having a great time in this theatrical release of a pair of fourth season episodes, edited together for international release although it was not theatrically shown in the United States. Carol Lynley is barely past the Lolita stage as a young vixen, and Albright and London are deliciously fun. There's also the tough-talking Kathleen Freeman as "mom" and in a silent cameo, John Carradine as a mute guru of some kind. Of course Leo G. Carroll is also there as McCallum and Vaughan's boss. Beautifully filmed on location, this does look great for theatrical release, and I could imagine people enjoying this much more on the big screen down their televisions at home, particularly if they were in Black and White.
