Man from U.N.C.L.E with Costumes by Joanna Johnston

Some reviewers of this movie from 2015 did not like it much, but even those had something nice to say about the costumes which are by Joanna Johnston who has worked on such films as Lincoln, Forrest Gump and Saving Private Ryan.

You see here at the top, Alicia Vikander as Gaby Teller, the young East German woman whose absent father is involved in making bombs for the US military until he went missing. She is then recruited to help find him and gets a new wardrobe to do it in. The film is set in the early 1960s, but Johnston was thinking of later in the decade. "I was primarily looking at fashion magazines of the time of the late ‘60s," Johnston told Carly Mallenbaum for USA TODAY. "I knew I wanted to keep her very youthful, but elegant. Chic; not overtrendy. I think 'fresh' is the key word for Gaby." You see here a lot of orange, a very bright and playful color, as well as a trendy newsboy cap.

On the others hand, Elizabeth Debicki plays Victoria Vinciguerra, a really wealthy and nasty business tycoon, with a more sophisticated wardrobe of black and white. All her looks, are long, lean and seem kind of mean.  

Henry Cavill plays Napoleon Solo, a thief turned secret agent, and gets to wear some natty suits while his mismatched partner is played by Armie Hammer who is the Russian agent Illya Kuryakin who, like most Soviets during the Cold War, does not get a lot of fashion into his wardrobe.

I saw this on HBO and you can find it elsewhere as well, and I must say I enjoyed more than the costumes, but then I am married to a Cold War scholar and remember the TV series for the same name from when I was a kid.

David McCallum of 'NCIS' and 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.' Fame Passes Away at 90.

David McCallum, best remembered for his roles as Illya Kuryakin in the 1960s spy series "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." and Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard on "NCIS", passed away from natural causes in New York City at age 90.

Peter McCallum, on behalf of the family, expressed their grief and recounted cherished memories of his father: “A loving and dedicated father, he cherished moments with his grandchildren. He had a deep bond, especially with his youngest grandson, Whit. David was a multifaceted man, having the capability to conduct an orchestra and, due to his role in NCIS, perform an autopsy. His wife's lament about not having the chance to age together reflects their enduring bond."

During the 1960s, "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.", which saw Vaughn and McCallum combat the nefarious THRUSH organisation, made significant cultural waves. This series led to spin-offs and movies featuring the two stars.

McCallum reprised his role as Kuryakin in a 1983 TV movie, and a 2015 feature adaptation directed by Guy Ritchie saw Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer take up the iconic roles.

On "NCIS", McCallum's Dr. Mallard played a pivotal role, offering forensic insights while adding a mix of humour and drama to the series. Following his passing, CBS expressed their deep sorrow, praising McCallum for his remarkable talent, his stories, and his infectious warmth.

With a career spanning over six decades, McCallum described his love for acting in a 2012 Variety interview, emphasising the dedication required to bring his character to life, especially with intricate medical jargon.

Apart from his acclaimed roles, McCallum lent his voice to animated series and video games. Born into a family of musicians in Glasgow, he initially ventured into music but soon shifted to acting, kickstarting his career at the age of 12 with BBC radio.

His cinematic journey began in the 1950s and included notable roles in films like “The Great Escape” and “The Greatest Story Ever Told”. Throughout the years, he appeared on numerous TV shows and also dabbled in music, releasing albums in the 1960s.

McCallum also tried his hand at writing, with his mystery novel "Once a Crooked Man" published in 2016.

His legacy survives through his wife, Katherine McCallum, four children, and eight grandchildren.

For those wishing to honour David McCallum's memory, donations can be made to the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation.

08.14.2015… 8 years already and since #TheManFromUncle has become cult.

A sequel would be amazing. So #guyritchie, how about getting the SAME CAST together to make a sequel? We would be extremely grateful...

I finally finished Spy Family, and wow I love it. It gives me major TheManFromUncle vibes, and I feel like it might reawaken my obsession...

Ricardo Montalbán on #TheManFromUNCLE is absolutely fabulous. He and Robert Vaughn had seriously chemistry together.

Are there Satine/Solo stories?

The Minus-X Affair

After Napoleon ruins his third, very expensive new suit in three days, Illya feels obliged to fink on him (but with an explanation) in his report to Mr. Waverly.

Illya to Waverly: “He was run over by a truck.”

“Large truck,” Napoleon pipes in.

“A small truck,” Illya gravely tells Waverly.

BTW, why do Thrush agents always seem to be carrying around photos of Illya? Is it because Thrush finds Illya adorable?

Napoleon wrecks expensive suits as fast as Illya breaks hearts.
