The Dove Affair
On a train speeding through central Europe, Solo matches wits with his “friendly enemy,” intelligence agent Satine (Ricardo Montalban). Both men are in pursuit of a medallion containing a microdot list of THRUSH agents. Caught in the middle is American schoolteacher and tour guide Sarah Taub (June Lockhart). The episode’s highlight is a fierce fistic battle between Solo and Satine, which Sarah “witnesses” via a transistor radio. Written by future Oscar-winner Robert Towne (The Last Detail, Chinatown), “The Dove Affair” was first telecast on December 15, 1964., Solo matches wits, deceptions—and poisonous needles—with the evil Satine (Ricardo Montalban) in a search for a list of THRUSH agents. Sarah: June Lockhart. Solo: Robert Vaughn. Waverly: Leo G. Carroll. Linz: Emile Genest. Ernest: Henry Lascoe.
