James Franciscus guest stars as PFC Charles Harris, a demolitions expert assigned to Saunders' squad for a mission to blow up a German communications center. As the mission progresses, Saunders can't help but wonder why Harris, a former doctor, would give up the medical profession and dedicate himself to killing rather than curing. It turns out that Harris, like so many other Combat supporting characters, is running away from himself--and the race may be over sooner than he thinks. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Once again, Jason McCord (Chuck Connors) has a fateful brush with history when he save legendary journalist Horace Greeley (Burgess Meredith) from an assassination attempt. Impressed by Jason's courage, Greeley hires him as his "social secretary" (translation: bodyguard). Now it is up to Jason to find out who wants to kill the eminent newspaperman--and why. (Incidentally, if you're thinking that Horace Greeley will at some point in the story say something like "Go west, Young Man", chances are that you're right...and never mind that Greeley never actually uttered those words). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Seldom did Man From U.N.C.L.E. venture so far into James Bond territory than in its April 12, 1965, episode "The Girls of Nazarone Affair." This time around, Solo and Illya journey to the Riviera in search of a miracle serum, developed in a Swiss clinic, which not only induces super-strength, but also revives the dead. The plot manages to accommodate a vacationing schoolteacher named Lavina Brown (Kipp Hamilton), a THRUSH agent named Dr. Egret (Marian Moses), a muscular blonde named Lucia Mazarone (Danica d'Hondt), and a bevy of gorgeous enemy spies, one of whom is played by Sharon Tate. "The Girls of Nazarone Affair" was scripted by Peter A. Fields from a story by Peter Barry. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Marching into an open field, Saunders (Vic Morrow) and his men are greeted with a barrage of machine-gun fire by a wounded GI named Murfree (Roddy McDowall). Once he has downed his weapon, Murfree explains that he is on his guard against Nazi spies who, disguised as Americans, have infiltrated the Allied ranks. It turns out, however, that the baby-faced gunner is harboring a secret, which only a fellow soldier named Larkin (William Bryant) knows...and Murfree sees to it that Larkin will never tell. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
