the helicopter spies (1968)

UNCLE persuade a safe cracker to help them obtain a weapon from the master criminal Dr Karmusi, in exchange for an amnesty from his previous activities. But UNCLE don't plan on him stealing the thermal prism for himself. He decides to enlist the Cult of the Third Way to help him take over and rule the world. Can Napoleon and Illia get the weapon back and prevent Sebastian's dastardly plan?
Originally two episodes of The Man From UNCLE, called 'The Prince Of Darkness Affair', this was combined and sent out as a theatrical release. An entertaining and light weight spy thriller, that never takes itself seriously and an emphasis on campy good fun and bizarre villains. It's also full of guest appearances, from Carol Lindley, a silent John Carradine and Julie London popping up from time to time.
