MFU 30-Day Meme: Day 5

Day 05 – Favorite movie: THE SPY WITH MY FACE

It was the first of the movies I wanted to buy and the extra scenes were the main reason. Because it was based on one episode rather than two, there was more that was added to make it into a movie than in the other MFU films, and what is added I think cleans up the story a good bit.

We are also talking about favorite here and there is a sentimental side as well to why I like this movie: it is based on the first MFU spisode I ever saw (DOUBLE AFFAIR) back in the 1960s. The scene of Napoleon riding that motorcycle along that sometimes rough road has stayed with me forever. [grin]

I also absolutely adore the physical look of Napoleon in this one. Even though it's technically the "double" wearing it, have to admit that mocha colored suit really did compliment Napoleon's coloring.

MFU 30-Day Meme: Day 6

I'm a day behind, so posting this one today as well to catch up.

Day 06 – Least favorite movie: HOW TO STEAL THE WORLD

Didn't like the episode; didn't like the movie version.

That a member of U.N.C.L.E. would come up with a scheme like Kingsley did and not see it a being very Thrush-like (and a magnet for Thrush's interference as well) is to me too dumb for words. If the man was going to do this kind of thing, at least he could acknowlegde to himself that his beliefs had basically gone over to Thrush's idea of world dominance by the few with the rest of the human population as basically slaves.

And the whole thing is dragged out as well.

Plus, since we are dealing in terms of least favorite, this movie is definitely a downer to me as it marks the end of MFU as a series. And that certainly does make it less than a favorite of mine as well.
