What happens

The Spy with My Face is a 1965 spy-fi spy film based on The Man from U.N.C.L.E. television series. Robert Vaughn and David McCallum reprised their roles as secret agents Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin respectively. The film follows the villainous organization THRUSH, which tries to steal a super weapon by substituting a double for Napoleon Solo. The film was directed by John Newland. It is the second U.N.C.L.E. film, consisting of the November 1964 TV episode "The Double Affair" and additional footage. The film was released to theaters in the United States in 1966 as a double feature with To Trap a Spy. Alpine sequences were filmed at the Griffith Park Observatory in California. Sequences added to the original "The Double Affair" for a feature were reused in "The Four-Steps Affair" and "The Dippy Blonde Affair" episodes of the series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
