“Spy in the Green Hat, The (1966)” on the other hand, is both exciting AND funny. Especially the scene where Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn) hides from THRUSH agents under a young woman’s (the incredibly cute Letícia Román) bed and is caught by the woman’s grandmother (Penny Santon), who is forcing Solo to marry the young woman. He successfully escapes, but is hunted by a legion of stereotyped Italian gangsters. Now that’s comedy.

Viewing Notes
I did not know this was a movie based on THE MAN FROM UNCLE tv series! The film is p silly at times and straddles the line between full on spoof and a serious spy thriller. So it suffers yet the cast seem to be having fun. Always enjoy watching Jack Palance ham it up. Love Janet Leigh in an action role, too!
