The Man from U.N.C.L.E. - Season 2 Episode 27 The Round Table Affair
Overview: Lucho Nostra and a group of criminals take over a tiny European country, Ingolstein, because it has no extradition treaty. Prince Frederick is afraid to kick them out, so Solo convinces princess Vicky to return and do so, only to find that she cannot because the treasury has been replaced with IOU's to Nostra for the prince's gambling debts. Nostra arranges for permanent protection by forcing a marriage between Vicky and one of his henchmen, Artie King, but the two actually do fall in love. King duels Nostra, with the fate of the country riding on the outcome.
Comment
This is one of those weird old shows that ended 11 years before I was born...and yet I have memories of watching it as a child. Clearly they were reruns, but I just can't place them in the timeline of my life. So...excuse me when I say that "it doesn't age well." And when I say that I mean that it doesn't make that transition between liking it as a child to liking it as an adult. Not 1968 to when I watched it as a little kid. When I was a child I liked the humor...now that I am older I sort of feel that it needed to pick a direction. Be a Sean Connery Bond or be a Roger Moore Bond, but don't try and be both. Still, it does entertain, and that was the point of making it. Plus, I loved it when I was little so, 10 of 10. The only complaints I have about it are pretentious anyway. It's worth a watch.
