UNCLE

Last week I was on Amazon ordering some exploration reference materials for later this summer ... when I saw the Man From U.N.C.L.E. .....

I was living Germany when the series began and it was an instant hit amongst of all us NATO brats!  We actually believed that U.N.C.L.E. must actually exist, it was all too plausible!  Sort of like believing that the National Enquirer actual reports real news!  LOL!

And there were even 8 movie reles in Europe, I understand they were not available to American audiences, much less us youth.  They were all rated 'M' for mature audiences only ...  No fair!  Even Bond's movies were 'G' on the NATO bases.  Different versions were shown in the European theaters, as 'M'.  sigh....

So, I have been watching the eight movies and yes they are 'M's!  For the time pretty risque, today not so much as even a rating in this morally corrupt day and age .....

But interesting story lines, very much filmed in a TV mentality and format.  It would be utterly viewed as acceptable today.  Though, the lack of swearing may make the films quaint.

Now back to my 190 hours of marathon viewing!
