A careless gesture. A flick of the wrist." - Napoleon Solo slideshow After a THRUSH attempt to kill Waverly is thwarted, Solo is assigned to prevent the assassination of a visiting African premier (William Marshall) at the hands of Andrew Vulcan (Fritz Weaver), and with the help of a housewife (Patricia Crowley) he learns that the premier himself is allied with THRUSH and plans to kill his two top aides (Ivan Dixon and Rupert Crosse) in a fake accident. Director:  Don Medford  Writer:  Sam Rolfe  Guest starring:  Ivan Dixon, Victoria Shaw, Eric Berry, William Marshall, Fritz Weaver, Pat Crowley, Rupert Crosse, Billy Corcoran To Trap a Spy is the feature-length film version of the pilot episode of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. starring Robert Vaughn and David McCallum. It is the third and longest version of the same story. The original pilot "Solo" was filmed in color and, as was standard at the time for U.S. network television shows, shown to network executives to gain their approval for a series. After the series was ordered the pilot episode was edited down to fit a one-hour timeslot, modified somewhat to substitute Leo G. Carroll's character Alexander Waverley for that of Mr. Allison (played by Will Kuluva), and broadcast in black and white (as was the rest of the first season of the show). The movie version started with the color pilot footage, added in additional footage and subplots (also in color, and including a new subplot featuring the actress Luciana Paluzzi), and was first released in Hong Kong in late 1964 and later shown in the U.S. as a double feature with The Spy with My Face in early 1966. In the UK it was originally released as a support feature to the James Garner/Julie Andrews comedy The Americanization of Emily in 1965, but its release coincided with the broadcast of the series. It later appeared as a top billed feature in many cinemas. AV CLUB FEATURETTE DEPARTMENT Solo, the original Man from U.N.C.L.E. pilot was released as the theatrical feature, To Trap A Spy. To recover costs for the pilot, MGM shot several additional scenes with actress Luciana Paluzzi as a WASP agent trying to seduce and kill Napoleon Solo to get the running time up to about 90 minutes. The pilot aired on TV (in black and white) as The Vulcan Affair, with several changes including reshooting all the scenes with the head of U.N.C.L.E., who was recast, and dubbing THRUSH into everyone's dialogue to replace WASP as the name of the enemy organization.

Director: Marc Daniels, Writer: Jack Turley, Jay Simms Guest starring: Kurt Russell, Leonard Strong, Bill Hickman, Tura Satana Guest Star Tura Satana was a cult performer best known for her role in the Russ Meyer sexploitation film "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" She was born Tura Yamaguchi in Hokkaido, Japan. Her exotic looks came from a Japanese-Filipino father and an American mother of Scots-Irish and Cheyenne Indian background. The family moved to America, was sent to a California internment camp during World War II and finally settled in Chicago. Walking home from school just before her 10th birthday, she was reportedly gang raped by five men. According to Satana, her attackers were never prosecuted, and it was rumored that the judge had been paid off. She reports that this prompted her to learn martial arts, such as aikido and karate. Over the next 15 years, Satana tracked down each rapist and exacted revenge. "I made a vow to myself that I would someday, somehow get even with all of them," she said years later. "They never knew who I was until I told them." Around this time, she formed a gang, "the Angeles," with Italian, Jewish, and Polish girls from her neighborhood. In an interview Satana said, "We had leather motorcycle jackets, jeans and boots... and we kicked butt." Because of frequent delinquency, she ended up in reform school and when she was 13, her parents arranged her marriage to 17-year-old John Satana in Hernando, Mississippi, which lasted nine months. Early development of her voluptuous figure led Satana into underage work as a pinup model, exotic dancer and stripper. She moved to Los Angeles and by age 15, using fake identification she was hired to perform at the Trocadero nightclub on the Sunset Strip, and became a photographic model for, among others, silent screen comic Harold Lloyd, whose photos of her appear in Harold Lloyd's Hollywood Nudes in 3-D. Satana returned to Chicago to live with her parents and started dancing at the Club Rendevouz in Calumet City, where she was known as Galatea, "the Statue that Came to Life." After singer Elvis Presley saw Satana perform at Chicago's Follies Theater, the two began a romantic relationship which ended with a marriage proposal. She turned Elvis down although she did keep the ring. Satana eventually became a successful exotic dancer, traveling from city to city. She credited Lloyd with giving her the confidence to pursue a career in show business: "I saw myself as an ugly child. Mr. Lloyd said, "You have such a symmetrical face. The camera loves your face... You should be seen." Working in Hollywood clubs and posing for nude photos led to bit parts in movies. Satana made her acting debut as one of the Parisian prostitutes in Billy Wilder’s 1963 comedy "Irma La Douce." The same year, she appeared uncredited as a stripper in “Who’s Been Sleeping in My Bed?”, a comedy starring Dean Martin and Elizabeth Montgomery. On television in 1964, she appeared in an episode of Burke’s Law, "Who Killed the Paper Dragon?" followed by The Man From U.N.C.L.E. In 1965 she starred in Meyer's "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" playing the leader of a trio of go-go dancers on a robbery and killing spree. The film came and went with no notice, but gathered a large cult following over the years, with directors John Waters and Quentin Tarantino and film critic Roger Ebert among the aficionados of trashy cinema who praised the picture and Satana’s performance. Tura never worked with Meyer again. She had another stripper role, again with no screen credit, in the popular spy spoof "Our Man Flint." As a dancer in the Marseilles nightclub where Flint and Agent 0008 stage a fight, Satana’s brief appearance is all long shots and cutaways, leaving her unrecognizable. Her last TV role came in 1966, playing another villain’s henchwoman in an episode of The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. Satana made only two more pictures. "The Astro-Zombies," (1968) with John Carradine and "The Doll Squad" (1973) starred Michael Ansara and Anthony Eisley, with Satana as a member of the title group, a band of female commandos employed by the U.S. government to hunt down the super-villain played by Ansara. "The Doll Squad" may have been the inspiration for the Charlie's Angels television series. Aaron Spelling, who later produced the television series, and at the time was executive producer of Mod Squad, was invited to the premiere of this movie, and the lead member of the squad was named Sabrina, just as in Charlie's Angels. Quentin Tarantino has cited the film as an influence on his Deadly Viper Assassination Squad in his film Kill Bill. Satana married a retired Los Angeles police officer in 1981, and remained married until her husband died in October 2000. She had two daughters from a previous relationship. She died of heart failure in 2011 at age 72. 11.  The Neptune Affair December 8, 1964 "You're dead, you know that?" - Lockridge "I wouldn't go so far as to say that." - Napoleon Solo slideshow A rocket launch which releases a damaging spore into the Soviet grain belt is traced back to the US. Illya Kuryakin is made to return home to Russia, who threaten to retaliate, so Napoleon Solo is forced to search alone for the group of scientists who are trying to start World War III. Director: Vincent McEveety, Writer: Henry Sharp, John W. Bloch Guest starring: Marta Kristen, John Banner, Alexander Lockwood Seen in the background on the wall of the underwater laboratory are the semi-circular/crescent light panels used in Morbius' laboratory in the film Forbidden Planet. These same light panels can be seen now and then in other films and television shows of this period. The original soundtrack had the word "Freon" in it, and after the episode wrapped, it was found to be a trademark owned by DuPont. So another actor was brought in to dub the word "hydro" in its place. This is especially obvious with John Banner, since no attempt was made to match the sound with Banner's German accent. Guest star Marta Kristen is best remembered for her role of Judy Robinson in the Lost in Space (1965) TV series. John Banner, achieved television immortality for his portrayal of the Luftwaffe prison-camp guard Sergeant Schultz in the TV series Hogan's Heroes (1965). 12.  The Dove Affair December 15, 1964 "Are you going to kill me?" - Satine "Unfortunately I'm a professional.

This is the only episode to use this unusual version of the opening. 16.  The Fiddlesticks Affair January 18, 1964  "This is Thrush, you blockhead!
