The Man From Uncle - IIlya Kuryakin -The Cool Spy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 вер 2015
- Robert Vaughn and David McCallum were well known actors before they worked on The Man From Uncle TV series.David had just made The Great Escape with Steve McQueen and Robert had made The Magnificent Seven with a stellar cast that also had the great Steve McQueen in it.The Man from Uncle pushed their fame into the stratosphere with the show attaining cult like status.In the beginning the role of Napoleon Solo with Vaughn was much more fleshed out.As David McCallum states in one of the DVD extras,the character of Illya was a blank page and he had to slowly bring him to life.What we see as the series progresses is that Illya begins to develop into an uber cool spy and his frosty demeanor towards women was an acceptance of the dangers of spy work.Eventually both Vaughn and McCallum developed an easy working relationship that mimics Bob Hope and Bing Crosby in the Road movies.Some of the most blatantly funny scenes ever made for TV began to develop from what was originally a serious spy show.The series eventually evolved into camp theatrics and may have caused it's demise,but we as viewers still have this cult classic to enjoy.
Handsome blond David mccallum as illya will always be loved by this black Detroit 60's chick. He was so cool and I have followed and loved his movies and Tv shows .He will always be my favorite blond! As teens in the 60s l remember we all screamed when he hosted Hullabaloo and answered the shoe phone of a dancer and she was a black girl. It was like when everyone would run to see the Motown stars on Ed Sullivan!
I remember this myself. The show inspired me to eventually join the State Department and become an Agent.
RIP Robert Vaughn (November 22, 1932 - November 11, 2016), aged 83
And
RIP David McCallum (September 19, 1933 - September 25, 2023), aged 90
You both will be remembered as legends.
😢
Yes, they were the coolest spies of the 1960's. Excellent actors.
True.😢❤️❤️
From Illia to “Ducky” ,
Class Act all the way.
Robert Vaughan , as well.
Both had great careers, both will live on through their TV shows and movies.
📻🙂
Proof that nice guys do finish first!
I had the man from U.N.C.L.E. gun when I was eleven in 1966. The best Christmas present ever. We had the board game too. Too cool. I was in the man from U.N.C.L.E. club too with the badge and the card. That made me the coolest kid I could be. My sister loved Illya. I thought Napolean Solo was the best. I wanted to be him. In 1972 Robert Vaughan came to Porterville California to campaign for McGovern and he gave a speech at the community college. I had to go see him. I remember his shiny black hair. I was about 30 feet away from him, but he looked exactly the same as in the show. Rest In Peace to all the cast that have departed.
They used to have one of the guns on display in a WW2 museum in Normandy - they thought it was a rare P38 version!
I had the Man from U.N.C.L.E.lunchbox, but my taste in weaponry tended toward the Agent Zero M line. I wore those things out.
Rest in peace David McCallum
In his prime be looked like that guy from Frasier!
Illya Kuryakin was my first crush. I have few memories of my childhood but The Man from UNCLE is in there.
Rest in God's Love, Mr. David McCallum. You will sorely be missed!
I was a pre-teen when this show was on in the 60s. I watched it every week and had a crush on David's character.
RIP to Robert Vaughn and David McCallum
Yes.😢❤️❤️
RIP David you have gone to spy heaven.
A great actor, RIP.
He will be missed.

David McCallum, Heartthrob Spy of ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,’ Dies at 90
I loved this show. Loved David. Amazing actor. I'm so sad. God speed David! ❤
The world was falling apart in the sixties -- still is -- but UNCLE was a blast.
David McCallum was the first actor to base his appearance on the Mod look. He still looks timeless, five
decades after the series had finished. As for Robert Vaughn, the missing between Cary Grant and Jon
Hamm. Both actors were utterly unbeatable at the height of their fame. It has been forgotten just how
massive this show was in the mid-1960s. Surviving memorabilia from the TV show commands a
small fortune now. I wish I still had my vintage U.N.C.L.E annuals now!
The early seasons were the best. Shame about the recent film which threw away a great opportunity..
i know just like they wrecked mission impossible
This is and will always be the coolest show ever never missed it
In the 90’s BBC 2 showed this and I used to watch it with my Dad. My Dad would reminisce about the 60’s and I would enjoy the stories.
I agree, the opening music was astounding, and Illya was so handsome. McCullum will always be Illya for me. Rip David McCallum/Illya
Illya is now Dr. Mallard on NCIS. Unless you were alive when the Man from UNCLE was on TV you would not realize how popular that show was -- and how popular David McCallum was.
WAS!?!?!?! How about ......IS!!!!!!?????
One of the catchiest themes of any sixties series or movie's. Just a pity Guy Ritchie never bothered to use it in his 'version' of The Man From Uncle
THE BEST - BOTH OF THEM - RIP - They were both Brilliant - on Radio Sutch 1964 -
I still remember watching this show and having a massive crush on David McCallum that never ended.
Love those glasses on Illya. They're similar to the ones Ducky Mallard wears. Imagine a crossover where Illya later resigns from UNCLE and studies to be a medical examiner, then changes his name. Mwybe not p, but it was in a dream I had once.
Loved this show when I was a kid. R.I.P Mr Vaughn and Mr McCallum.
Great stuff. Robert Vaughn and David McCallum were class acts.
Back in the 1960s, I would watch this programme on a regular basis, as a small child.
I had a lot of memorabilia such as the badges and toys, all long gone sadly.
However, for an hour I could pretend to be a very cool super spy.
Your observations are spot regarding the working relationships between the two
men, which were closer to the excellent "Road" fllms with Hope and Crosby which I
also loved. ("The Road To Utopia" remains an outright classic.)
The same goes for "I Spy" with Robert Culp and Bill Cosby, before his reputation
was permanently destroyed.
At the height of its' powers, "The Man From UNCLE" was simply unbeatable.
Only "The Avengers" with Patrick MacNee and Diana Rigg came close to matching it.
Thank you for your comments Rob."Man from Uncle " did enjoy great success but it flamed out quickly in the third year. It seemed to switch from a cool persona in it's first year to the comedic slant in the 2nd and 3rd. Probably the fact that it was so popular with younger children may have made the producers try to cartoonize the violence even more. It was fun to watch and never was there any doubt that IIlya and Napoleon were in real danger. You mentioned 3 shows that I like and liked very much, The Avengers , Uncle and I Spy .
Check out the DC graphic novel "Batman 66 Meets The Man From
UNCLE". A lovingly crafted tribute to two iconic programmes from
that period. You won't be disappointed.
@@tronyfree my favorite Christmas present was man from Uncle gun. I grew up with 3 brothers and they were so jealous I got the gun. I had a crush on Ilya and that's all I asked for. My brothers lists were too long I guess. I still giggle to this day and love Ducky on NCIS.❤️😺
I always thought Roger Moore as The Saint was untouchable as the
" smoothest " guy in TV but Robert
and David are a match !
This show was so cool back in the day!
This show and I Spy were my favorites when I was a kid. I´m 46. The show ran in latinamerica during my early teen years. I was fascinated by Ilya Kuryakin. He's name alone was dazzling. It was the only TV show with a russian! That was something awesome to me. Russians were something obscure, the ever present hidden enemy of the americans. To have one on TV was something worth watching and certainly I get a lot of nostalgia watching this clip. Thanks for the upload...in full color!!
I Spy definitely deserves a mention whenever talking about Spy shows. They broke new ground by having Bill Cosby share equal billing with Robert Culp.Despite Mr Cosby's current problems, we can still look back at these early shows and enjoy the repartee between the two stars.
Yeah, the name Illya Kuryakin was one of the few things I remembered about this show, and it's what brought me here today to indulge in a bit of nostalgia.
It was a big deal to have a Russian character playing the hero in an American TV show at he height of the Cold War, and to have the American public totally embrace that character. Quite groundbreaking at the time.
Just love this series , both Robert and David were very handsome.
Yes!🤩🤩
R.I.P. Mr Robert Vaughn
p
And RIP David McCallum.
Rip David M.
What a great Actor.
From Illia to “Ducky”.
[ and the movies in between].
Class A - all the way.
Robert Vaughn, too.
📻🙂
Another brilliant actor gone. RIP.
And let's not forget the real Man From U.N.C.L.E. Mr Leo G. Carroll. He was pure class.
He first played the character in the movie NORT BY NORTHWEST.
rest in peace you guys i love you both
Great shows, they were and will always be my favourite spies RIP
I only started watching NCIS because of David, China white is still a fantastic watch as a series opener, I always looked forward to his wandering reminiscences 🤣🤣🤣 and the references to his visual Ilya K likeness was a grin.
I used to watch this show when I was a little girl. I had such a crush on IIlya Kuryakin.
All the girls at school fawning over him 😆🤣😂
I was a teeny bopper and just a little too young to "get" a lot of the show -- still, I loved it! How wonderful to have this to enjoy to the max today!
How bloody cool was he…I hadn’t realised till now
Ah, you've fixed it. Much better! All of my favorite scenes of Illya in 10 & 1/2 minutes. Very nice!
+Linda S Thanks again Linda, for spotting that.Initially it looks a little weird seeing 3 "I"s in a row in front of a name.Unless that first capital "I" has bars on top and bottom.Here's to ILLYA the COOL SPY.
+tronyfree Here's a little background info on how the name was chosen.The correct Russian spelling of Illya's name should be "Ilya," with only one L. But series creator Sam Rolfe chose the name as an homage to Illya, the Greek character in Never on Sunday, and retained the Greek spelling. "Kuryakin" came from the Greek word for Sunday, "Kyriaki."
+Linda S Thanks again Linda.It shows that they put some thought behind Illya's name.Rather strange,it feels like it's Russian but it actually has Greek origins.I did misspell Illya's name in the Napoleon Solo video (2 or 3 times) but I think I'll leave it.It doesn't stick out as much.Unless I get a barrage of people that pick up on it.They'll eventually work their way over to the Illya video and see that it's been corrected there.The series did have some interesting metamorpheses,going from black to color,and from serious to comic.I really liked the chat David and Robert had on the DVD extras,both self effacing,both respectful of each other,and both grateful for what the series did for them.They had good chemistry.
I have always liked David McCallum, he is so missed!
Ilya was my first (and favorite) teenage crush. RIP David.
When this TV show started I was in the 8th grade. The girls in my class went crazy for Illya. I always thought Robert Vaughan was cool and saw him as the Man from Uncle whatever he was in going forward.
Very well done. Appreciate the work that must have gone into this.
I will miss you Robert Vaughn I'm going to watch you on uncle now on DVD
Thanx trony for all the work. I loved this show too.
You never want your wingman to be better with the ladies than you are! That was Illya!
actually a good wingman is supposed to compliment you like a good back up man but if you're wingman is a lame any real bad
a%$'s babe will think what kind of dude runs with a lame try to see it like west and gordon from the wild wild west or the Hornet and kato
Solo was after the girls but they were after Illya.
Que pena que este seriado não passa mais na TV !!!
Napoleon: "really, we're only interested in your tooth", Illya: "and nothing but the tooth!"...The Thor Affair. Great show which ended to quickly, they should have done "The Final Affair".
a good man needs a good back up,,a trusted partner, Illya was this and more,
thank you
They lived a long life god bless them both and you know you heard anything negative about them
Tolle Serie,war damals 10 Jahre alt. Gruß aus Oberhausen ( Deutschland )
R. I. P. David and Robert.
Not sure why I had such a big crush on David McCallum as Illya Kuryakin when I was 12 years old. Maybe it was his sense of humor, his accent and the 1960s.
I still have a big crush on David. Met him 2x in Atlanta and be was such a gentleman. Robert acted like he didn't'want to sign my autograph at first after a play, but then said he was just kidding and did and at. Glad to see David in "NCIS" and bought the DVD sets for "MFU", "NCIS", and some of his movies I've been able to find. This is a great video too!
fun romp. thanks for the memories
I loved that show
"My face is in your hands"
POW!😄😄😄
I wished it would be in mine!!😍
It's funny how I could still remember David McCallum as Illya Kuryakin, which I always loved his TV Name.
Our country needs more UNCLE Agents!
I don't know! they kept getting CAUGHT!
Cute! Didn't catch all the names, but I noticed that there are a few that aren't quite right. Joycelyn Lane was Lisa Donato in "Re-Collector's" (Season 2), Phyllis Newman was in "Arabian" (Season 2), and Judy Carne was in "Gurnius" (Season 4),
RIP Mr. David McCallum 🙏
RIP David McCallum your partner Robert Vaughn from U.N.C.L.E. needed you for a new assignment in Heaven.
Yes I remember well!
I had a crush on Ilya when i was a tiny one.
And I would not kick Ducky out of bed either!
Good for you.!
RIP David McCallum.
what a fun program when I was young
Those yellow 💛 badges still work. Have fun❤️👍
Don’t forget The Girl From Uncle! Starring Stefanie Powers I just got the DVD set, Cute as a button!, I think I have a crush on April Dancer!!😎
April was hot !
I was always rooting for Illya because he was the underdog. Napoleon would be up in the ballroom dancing with the countess and Illya would be digging his way out of the dungeon with a rusty spoon. Utterly loyal but not above puncturing Napoleon's ego when he needed it.
Kind of weird seeing him on NCIS now that he's as old as Leo G. Caroll.
leo powers
Yes indeed. But he has aged well.
I loved those "Ducky" flashback episodes.
"What did 'Ducky' look like when he was young?"
"Like Ilya Kuryakin"
@@laurabeane8862 true that. Ilya was my crush back in the day. Got a man from Uncle gun for a Christmas present my brothers were so jealous.
But he aged really well !!
RIP David McCallum
Napoleon was suave and Illya was cool. Napoleon was flirty and easy and Illya was mysterious and crude toward women.
It's not hard to see why a lot of people preferred Illya. But Robert Vaughn wasn't less of a lady-killer just because of that. They were both incredibly attractive men at their prime.
The series rode the James Bond craze for three years before it was cancelled.My feeling is that the writers managed to split the James Bond persona into two people, IIllya and Napoleon, and that way probably attracted more viewers .
I can agree with that. Illya and Napoleon do complete each other with the different looks, personalities and skill sets.
Illya was picky. Can't say I blame him!
Supposedly Napoleon was the womanizer, but I always prefer IIlya. I like so much to see this series again! Nice vid!
+AiramCarina That was abundantly clear from the series, Napoleon would be the James Bond womanizer and Illya would be the sidekick.As it progressed Illya started to develop this massive following of ...women....who liked his cool demeanor and golden locks ( I think???). The show is in constant reruns everywhere and is available on DVD.The movie wasn't half bad,I liked it.It walked that fine line between bringing in new ideas and linking to the TV show.In the last season it got a little silly with the parody, even though David McCallum and Robert Vaughn had a great chemistry and did the best they could with the material.
The appealing thing about Illya for me is that he wasn't a womanizer. He had those great looks that attracted women, but he never played into it. He had a cool, remoteness that made him even more attractive.
Great video! Only one minor correction: The actress from "The Arabian Affair" is *Phyllis Newman*, not "Judy Carne". Otherwise, very well done!
This now on DVD and the picture quality is pretty good
It's the way he doesn't even try with the girls, sweet!
Very Good. Good quality clips.Cool.
Nicely done!
Seriously love this! Thank you!
RIP, David. We thought you impossibly cool - and you were.
this is better than the movie
Far better! Even David said so himself.
The movie SUCKED the Big One and you no one really wants to know what both David and Robert really think about the movie as it cannot be repeated in polite company.
Of all the shows they're rebooting these days, WHY NOT THIS ONE?!?! I thought the recent movie did well enough to respark interest. I remember reading one of the books as a kid and wanting more. Like a PG James Bond, but better.
Did a film. The idea for it was from Ian Fleming (007 author and creator).
RIP David Keith McCallum jr (09/19/1933-09/25/2023)😢❤ You'll always be my golden prince!
Born in glasgow scotland......just a mile from my birth place 😢
I was a fan
Had the greatest crush on this guy back in the "M.F.Uncle" days in the 60's. Imagine my surprise that this thoughtful, talented and seemingly a lovely person as described by others who knew him and worked with him was a staunch republican and an ardent Trump supporter who was jubilant when Trump won. Head scratching, and a disappointment, I must say. Still, looking back at these clips, one can but dream on.... Kuryakin will at least live on in the memory.
In my country came very late and I used to watch it all the time. I had a big crush on this guy!
4:54, that's Ellan of Troyis from the original Star Trek
Not Judy carne, Phyllis Newman.
That was a cool slingbow.
Love the Women on The Man from UNCLE just perfect
Lindo Dr Duck . Adorava ele no NCIS
It’s hilarious 🤣
Loved hearing Illya and Nancy sing! Frances Nguyen made an interesting alien on "ST": spoiled brat, that is.
Frances Nguyen was in Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea too.David had a lovely voice and was a skilled musician. Also an explosives and small arms expert from his Army days!
Don't worry..!..the world is in good hands!!!!...:)O(:...
Think about 'it'...'It's deep!!!...:)O(:...
My best friend Little David (Mini Kuryakin) would absolutely love this video!!! Wow!!!!
And now…. RIP Mr. mcCallum.
Funny!
To the poster of this video: In the scene beginning at 3:30 and running to 3:39, right after Illya says "will not work", Someone in the room says, "wrong answer Mr. Kuriyakin!" This has got to be my favorite line, and I have used it throughout my life when I know someone is fudging the truth. Do you happen to have the rest of that video? Also, in the next scene, as I recall, they release Illya with his hands tied behind him, having painted a red bullseye on his back. Then they hunt him for sport.
You are absolutely right. Iillya was asked a question by the bad guy, "Did you get that new bow from Uncle.?" ,and IIllya replys "Uncle, what's that.?", and the bad guy says, "Wrong answer my friend, any other man would have said 'who is that' !" and he pulls a gun out.Then he's hunted with the bulls eye on his back.The scene in the video has IIllya trying to pass himself off as an engineer in order to get the bad guys, but that's later on in the episode, I don't think he fooled anybody.It's all in the Second season, episode 11, The Virtue Affair, of the Man From Uncle.Probably available for borrowing at your local library. The Man from Uncle series eventually became too flippant and casual to keep viewers coming back, but some scenes taken individually ,were brilliantly funny.
Hey, what was that scene at 9:48 with Illya on a bomb? It looked like Slim Pickins bomb ride in Dr. Strangelove! LOL
Hi Walt, it did very much so. You can see David McCallum shake the prop bomb as he slides off to jump. The show did veer into high camp towards the 3rd season.Maybe to deter from the fact that people were being shot at and dying. It was trying to straddle the huge following of it's young fan base and be more family oriented to it's violent roots in the spy genre.They probably shot themselves in the foot by doing that and their run ended after 3 seasons. Thanks for viewing.
I had SUCH a crush on David McCallum. His Illya was delicious. He's a doll as Ducky too.
I loved David McCaluum and he just passed away at 90. My first crush!!
Geeze TV Land, fetv or even Ovation should air some of the full episodes, they just keep showing Perry Mason, the Beverly Hillbillies, ect, my favorite TV spies of all time, the 2015 movie was eh, they could never duplicate the chem between Vaughn (RIP) and McCallum who even as a kid I thought was so, so cute and that voice..OMG.
