Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

astravision Outstanding music, charming young leads, game guest stars, exciting stunt work, colorful fashions and sets (mostly)triumph over some scripts that weren't ready for filming(Did THE Richard Matheson really hack out the Atlantis Affair(partly redeemed by April besting the villain in a sword fight in Act 4)?). Maybe somebody else rewrote his script. Airing a spinoff of a NON Top Ten show(Season 2 Man from Uncle barely edged Girl's ratings nemesis Daktari) against 2 established shows, Daktari and Combat, might have been too high a hurdle even with consistent scripting. Plus the outre fashions and sets that look so good now on DVD would have been lost on the tiny analog black and white sets many/most had in 1966/7 whereas Daktari and Combat seem more amenable to B&W. Plus was America ready for the first(?) female-American-starring one hour action adventure series? Audiences chose Gomer Pyle over the prior year's very entertaining half hour Honey West. Also it took SEVERAL seasons for Avengers(which this series is unfairly comparted to) show's scripts to become more consistently entertaining and even a couple of the Ms. Peel series were clunkers-and they only filmed 14 eps a season. "Moulin Ruse Affair" a favorite-fun to watch ancient Burt Mustin DEMOLISH Uncle HQ(great stunt work)! Dave Grusin's "Muffin" soundtrack is sublime and is best heard uninterrupted on the probably out of print Volume 3 CD of Uncle soundtracks-the Girl from Uncle album has a less robust orchestration(but a lovely Girl from Uncle theme not heard in any episode). RIP April and Mark

ShadeGrenade Such was the popularity of 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.' in 1965 that a spin-off was planned. An episode of the second series - 'The Moonglow Affair' - saw Solo and Kuryakin temporarily written out, and their places taken by agents 'April Dancer' and 'Mark Slate', played by Mary Ann Mobley and Norman Fell respectfully. It did well, and a series was commissioned - but with two important changes. The lead roles were recast; in came a young Stefanie Powers as 'Dancer' and British actor Noel Harrison ( son of Rex ) as 'Slate'. Leo G.Carroll, of course, played 'Mr.Waverly'.I did not see this when it first went out, but viewed it recently. It is enjoyably daft hokum, with plots involving such unlikely ideas as a dog's fleas used to carry a microdot, a Kali statue coming to life and throwing daggers, the entrance to the lost city of Atlantis turning out to be in some caves in the Caribbean, an island colony of shipwrecked survivors, a health spa that makes its customers youthful, and Boris Karloff ( in drag ) as the head of a gang of killers who wear flat caps and speak bad Cockney. This hailed from the same era as 'The Monkees' and 'Batman', and it shows.Powers is beautiful and glamorous, though it is a pity that 'April' was not given more to do in the action department. In the last episode I saw ( 'The U.N.C.L.E. Samurai Affair' ), she was attacked by a frogman, and after putting up token resistance, went to hide while Slate dealt with him. She should have chucked him over her shoulder the way Mrs.Peel did in 'The Avengers'. It does seem bizarre to call a show 'The Girl From U.N.C.L.E.' and then depict its main character as a helpless bimbo heavily reliant on a male sidekick. Another mistake was the reuse of Jerry Goldsmith's 'Man From U.N.C.L.E.' theme, here given a trendy new arrangement.I warmed more to Harrison's 'Slate'. Obviously intended to be the show's answer to David McCallum, he is rather good as a foppish hero in the 'Jason King' mold. But whose idea was it to cast a teenage boy ( 'Randy Kirby' ) as an U.N.C.L.E. agent? Robert Vaughn played 'Solo' in 'The Mother Muffin Affair', at exactly the same time Harrison was guesting on the parent show. In the U.K., 'Girl' was shown in rotation with 'Man', but in the U.S.A., they were screened more or less together. Viewers found two 'U.N.C.L.E.' shows a week a bit much to take, and 'Girl' was dropped after a single season.Less comedy and more action ( for April ) would have been beneficial for the show. Sam Rolfe's superb first season of 'Man' should have been the blueprint for 'Girl'.Best episode - 'The Atlantis Affair' ( written by 'I am Legend' author Richard Matheson ) Worst episode - 'The Paradise Lost Affair'.

raysond The format episode for this spin off was from an earlier 1966 episode of its parent show,The Man From U.N.C.L.E which was an fantastic episode called,"The Moonglow Affair",which starred Mary Ann Mobley and Norman Fell in the roles of April Dancer and Mark Slate. But here what gets me with this show,which is very synonymous with one of the bad spin-off to one of the most successful espionage shows of all time. By the way,The Man From U.N.C.L.E. was an intelligent and brilliant and very innovative 1960's spy show,but when its spin-off,The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. premiered on NBC-TV in September of 1966,the show from which it came from,did not deserve this kind of treatment nor the physical abuse of its original format. It there was any wonder why some of the episodes were so blant,sexist,and incredibly stupid within the silly plots and goofy dialogue within the characters,it was no wonder that this show lasted only one season,it was just that pathetic. The episodes themselves,were typical fun,but were corny as the popcorn left over for a movie,and as cheesy and most of all,totally stupid. Only 29 episodes were produced of this series,which was under its executive producers David Victor and Douglas Benton,and Norman Felton and based on the characters created by Sam Rolfe(the original architect for U.N.C.L.E). The series ended its run in 1967.But here was gets me,how did April Dancer went from being an assistant secretary of the head chief of the organization to becoming one of the first female secret agents for U.N.C.L.E.? That is anybody guess of how she did this,but in all aspects,it was any wonder that this girl would be one,as I put it,a cross between Nancy Drew and Penelope Pitstop. U.N.C.L.E agent April Dancer(played by Stephanie Powers)wasn't the best of the female secret agents either. She was a total accident prone girl who was in some ways an sympathetic ditz who always manages to get herself in some tight situation,only to get herself deeper and deeper into serious complications with diabolical villains or even worse ending up with some mad scientist's deadly schemes only to be rescued by her male partner,U.N.C.L.E. agent Mark Slate(played by Noel Harrison),but only to come to her aid at the last minute to save her from a terrible and sinister fate. However,this does get boring very quickly,and it shows in some of the episodes. Out of all of the episodes,there was only one that was very good and the rest were just either plain silly or repulsive.If this show proved anything is that some of the best intentions from their offspring can bear the the fruits of the original,and that's a crying shame to see a grand show like the Man From U.N.C.L.E. didn't deserved this kind of treatment,especially from its loyalists of fans.

Nick Zbu This show was born from the potential from it's parent show, The Man From UNCLE, in a fantastic episode called "The Moonglow Affair." However, due to some mysterious fluke the producers changed the actors in the lead. This was a fatal flaw: not due to the actors, but their chemistry was very far off.The plots of "Girl" were troubled and not very interesting. Even the supposed 'best' episode, "The Mother Muffin Affair," (starring Boris Karloff in drag), is at best a meddling excuse for a show. Such a disappointment.If "Girl" can prove anything, it's that sometimes even the best of intentions can bear no fruit. A real shame, too.
