ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

astravision Outstanding music, charming young leads, game guest stars, exciting stunt work, colorful fashions and sets (mostly)triumph over some scripts that weren't ready for filming(Did THE Richard Matheson really hack out the Atlantis Affair(partly redeemed by April besting the villain in a sword fight in Act 4)?). Maybe somebody else rewrote his script. Airing a spinoff of a NON Top Ten show(Season 2 Man from Uncle barely edged Girl's ratings nemesis Daktari) against 2 established shows, Daktari and Combat, might have been too high a hurdle even with consistent scripting. Plus the outre fashions and sets that look so good now on DVD would have been lost on the tiny analog black and white sets many/most had in 1966/7 whereas Daktari and Combat seem more amenable to B&W. Plus was America ready for the first(?) female-American-starring one hour action adventure series? Audiences chose Gomer Pyle over the prior year's very entertaining half hour Honey West. Also it took SEVERAL seasons for Avengers(which this series is unfairly comparted to) show's scripts to become more consistently entertaining and even a couple of the Ms. Peel series were clunkers-and they only filmed 14 eps a season. "Moulin Ruse Affair" a favorite-fun to watch ancient Burt Mustin DEMOLISH Uncle HQ(great stunt work)! Dave Grusin's "Muffin" soundtrack is sublime and is best heard uninterrupted on the probably out of print Volume 3 CD of Uncle soundtracks-the Girl from Uncle album has a less robust orchestration(but a lovely Girl from Uncle theme not heard in any episode). RIP April and Mark

tristanmorell I must say that I have Just watched "The girl from uncle" for the first time and i don't agree with all the bad reviews it gets at all. OK April Dancer (stefanie powers) the leading character could be tougher especially considering her TV rivals at the time like the marvellous Emma peel from "the Avengers" but there's barely an episode I've watched where she doesn't knock an assailant out or high volt a fence or blow something up with a hidden uncle gadget.OK she often uses a gas spray rather than karate but she does use that too. the stories are daft as anything but executed with tongue in cheek and for fun and no dafter than "The avengers" stories or "the champions" but thats half the point! they're fun!. Its not meant to be serious!. Her English partner Mark Slate (who must be the first gay agent ever i think on TV! joke) makes the whole thing camp as Christmas and the villains are straight from pantomime. It might just be me, but some of the dialogue is funny too...and paul o'grady (lilly savage) is a fan too!. what more can I say, besides which Yvonne de Carlo (Lilly munster)is a villain in one episode and who can resist anything where Boris Karloff appears in drag (!) as "mother muffin"...irresistible madness.(but it is a bit sexist at times..hey ho cant win "em all)

nimbleweevil Even by the standards of the 1960s, "The Girl from U.N.C.L.E" is synonymous to me with "bad spin off." "The Man from U.N.C.L.E", a fun and intelligent '60s spy show, did not deserve this kind of treatment. Is it any wonder, after viewing it, that the famous female spy of this decade was Emma Peel from The Avengers and not April Dancer?The lead character, played reasonably well by Stephanie Powers, is April, the first female spy from agency U.N.C.L.E. This sounds typical and fun, if a bit cheesy, but the problem is that April is the Nancy Drew of television characters. Almost every episode ends with April being rescued from evil people by her male partner, Mark Slate. This not only begins to get boring after a while, but it makes April an unsympathetic ditz. Even worse, the plot line of quite a few episodes revolves around April ALMOST GETTING MARRIED to a BAD GUY!!! Of course, the heroic, manly Mark Slate will come by to rescue her at the last minute from this TERRIBLE FATE!!!!Sure, there is such a thing as a good spin off. This isn't it. Leave this one to collect dust in the corner, and watch the original series.

Nick Zbu This show was born from the potential from it's parent show, The Man From UNCLE, in a fantastic episode called "The Moonglow Affair." However, due to some mysterious fluke the producers changed the actors in the lead. This was a fatal flaw: not due to the actors, but their chemistry was very far off.The plots of "Girl" were troubled and not very interesting. Even the supposed 'best' episode, "The Mother Muffin Affair," (starring Boris Karloff in drag), is at best a meddling excuse for a show. Such a disappointment.If "Girl" can prove anything, it's that sometimes even the best of intentions can bear no fruit. A real shame, too.
