Trivia
Napoleon Solo's trick of removing a tablecloth from a table while leaving all the objects undisturbed was not a visual effect. Henry Cavill actually performed it himself, having been trained in the trick by British variety star Mat Ricardo.

Goofs
Kuryakin argues with Solo over Dior and Paco Rabanne fashion accessories. Rabanne (19 years old in 1963, when the film is set) would not have his own label until 1966.

Quotes
Illya Kuryakin: [as Solo cracks a safe] Did you disable the alarm?
Napoleon Solo: There's no alarm on the 307.
[alarm immediately begins wailing]
Illya Kuryakin: ...Loving your work, Cowboy.

Crazy credits
SPOILER: Part of the closing credits features images of Solo, Kuryakin and Gaby in Istanbul on their new mission.

"When you hear something that sounds like a gunshot, drive."

Never watched the show, so can't compare the two, or whether or not this is a faithful adaptation of it or not, but I loved this film. It perfectly rides the fine line between straight 1960s spy movie throwback, and satire of one.

Villain is pure 1960s vamp/ femme fatale, Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer's chemistry alone makes this worth watching. Hammer's twitch as his anger reaches boiling point is a great bit of detail. Cavill really reminded me of Roger Moore's Bond, specifically from The Spy Who Loved Me. He has a suave, "Trust me, I know what I'm doing" attitude throughout.

Several scenes creatively have the action taking place in the background, while the focus is on the foreground. A perfect example, and maybe my favourite scene in the film, is Cavill sitting in a truck, basically picnicking, with a large sandwich and bottle of Chianti, while boat chase is playing out in front of him, reflected on the windscreen.

The film is rated PG13, but it doesn't look watered down to get that rating, ... Henchman's electrocution torture scene was both graphic and simultaneously funny- another case of the action playing out in the background, while Cavill and Hammer debate the fate while in the next room.

The plot is a bit of a mess, especially toward the end, but a great cast, sharp dialogue, and great attention to detail, and good action makes this a winner
