A rare production featurette from MGM has surfaced on You Tube. It will be of interest to all Man From U.N.C.L.E. fans. The promo, which was made in 1966, was ostensibly as travelogue of Italy. However, the film is just a thinly-disguised plug for two forthcoming MGM movies: Three Bites of the Apple starring David McCallum and The Venetian Affair starring Robert Vaughn. The actors shot their individual movies while on hiatus during filming of U.N.C.L.E. Footage is intermingled with the sights and sounds of Italy, but the brief sequences show McCallum rehearsing with Sylva Koscina and there are some interesting glimpses of Vaughn filming the climax of The Venentian Affair. To view the promo (which is taken from an airing on Turner Classic Movies) click here. (Thanks for Bill Koenig for bringing this to our attention.)
