Minox B in "The Council" episode of Mission Impossible (1967)

This one minute clip from "The Council" episode of Mission Impossible shows Rollin Hand (Martin Landau) using a Minox B (with case and measuring chain) to photograph documents needed to make a case against the "Syndicate". Landau's Minox technique is pretty good, and only towards the end of the sequence (I combined three scenes into one for this upload) does he partially obscure the lens with his fingers. But he does use the measuring chain to determine the correct focusing distance. Using the flash attachment makes for better dramatic effect on a TV show, but in reality the flash would have washed out the documents he was trying to photograph. It would have been better to rely on available light, fast film and a steady hand to get better results. Looks like he had a lot of pages to photograph as well, and that would have required a lot of little AG-1 flashbulbs.

very slick, both episodes were spliced together as a movie (way before Tom Cruise) that was a hit in the overseas market.

Which is very cool, but also strange because it’s not that great of a two-parter in my opinion. It’s fine, but there are much better stand-alone episodes & two-parters in the series they could have released as films.

@@Hack_The_Planet_ except for rare instances early in season 1 they never killed anyone themselves, it was always mind manipulation to get others to do it for them. Just a fascinating show on many levels, the issues it raises are even more relevant today. And the music was always top-notch.

OMG For a moment, I thought that was a pendrive.

Where can I get all the incidental music from this show?
Lalo was a genius
