We recently ran a link to Los Angeles Times columnist Robert Lloyd's rave review for the new Man From U.N.C.L.E. Complete DVD Collection - which is now shipping. The review led to a response from Hilda Rolfe, widow of producer Sam Rolfe who created the show in conjunction with Norman Felton. Rolfe also served as producer during the series' pivotal first season and was subsequently credited as the person who developed the show. Mrs. Rolfe takes odds with Robert Lloyd for not mentioning her husband's contributions to the series, but Lloyd's omission does not seem to be a blooper, merely the consequence of trying to cover the show's merits in a limited space. Still, it's good to see Sam Rolfe get a moment in the sun. Happily, he is well represented on the DVD set through archival interviews. Sam Rolfe was a prolific force in hit TV shows of the 1960s, having also created such hits as Have Gun, Will Travel. To read Mrs. Rolfe's letter click here
