Corrected entry: When they're being chased by the dogs, Illya pulls off Ursula Baldwin's shoes so she can climb the tree. He tosses the shoes into the pool below. But in the next shot, as Ursula begins to climb, her shoes are back on her feet - that is, until they both leap from the tree into the pool. Then, her shoes are off again, and already floating in the water. (00:42:15)
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
1 corrected entry in season 1
Starring: David McCallum, Robert Vaughn, Leo G. Carroll, Barbara Moore
Revealing mistake: Every time the villains' deadly gas, "hydro," is mentioned, the word is badly and very obviously dubbed in, and doesn't match what the actors' lips are saying. This occurred because the original name used, "freon," turned out to be an existing (and patented) refrigerant gas, so the name had to be changed to avoid a trademark lawsuit. (00:28:45)
Napoleon Solo: My name is Napoleon Solo. I'm an enforcement agent in Section Two here. That's operations and enforcement.
Illya Kuryakin: I am Illya Kuryakin. I am also an enforcement agent. Like my friend Napoleon, I go and I do whatever I am told to by our chief.
Alexander Waverly: Hmm? Oh, yes. Alexander Waverly. Number One in Section One. In charge of this, our New York headquarters. It's from here that I send these young men on their various missions.
Trivia: Thrush, U.N.C.L.E.'s nemesis organization, was an international bad-guy conglomerate with the single-minded goal of taking over the world. Though "Thrush" was never an acronym on the show itself, U.N.C.L.E. novelist David McDaniel assigned it a meaning that became fan canon: he called it the Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity. That pretty much described Thrush's nefarious ambitions to a T.
Question: Why would Solo compare the descending elevator to an Eaton's department store, when these only existed in Canada?

Correction: After replaying the scene many times I am sorry to say that even if Kuryakin mentioned her removing shoes (and even grabbed her right leg in an apparent removal attempt) it is not seen that he throw her shoes into the pool, nor that she actually removed her shoes. So understandably she is seen climbing the tree and completing the scene with her shoes on.
