MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.-COMPLETE SERIES DVD REVIEW



I was one of the unfortunate ones who did not receive a review copy of the complete series of the Man From U.N.C.L.E.; instead I received 2 episodes with a few extras promo disc. It is hard to give a review with just 1 disc, having said that, I can tell that having the complete collection in your collection is a must. The packaging what I have seen is very neat with an attaché case and if the rest of the episodes are like the ones on the promo disc, then they are in very good condition. All 105 episodes are on 41 discs with loads of extras with interviews and mini documentaries and the 3rd movie made from the 2-part episode “The Alexander The Greater Affair” with introductions to the episodes by Robert Vaughn and David McCallum. Not a definitive collection, but very close. What would have made it a truly definitive collection would have been the rest of the movies made from the 2 part episodes and the 1983 reunion film. All and all, a very good collection.

VIDEO

Although not digitally remastered, the episodes come from very good film prints.

Audio

What I have heard on the disc, it sounds very strong and clear.

Verdict

Time Life and Warner Home Video have done a really good job and took proper time to make this collection worthy of buying. I would recommend it!


Rating: ****!
