The YouTube Affair by Thebigbluemeany (PG-13)

Fandom: THE MAN FROM UNCLE
Pairing: Napoleon/Illya

Why this must be watched: I couldn't choose just one vid to rec because there have been so many great ones coming out lately. I think you have to be blind to not catch the subtext present in the show seen through a slash lens - there's a lot of quick edits, but you just can't miss all the looks and touches and insinuating lines. With the choice of song ("I've Got You Babe" by Sonny and Cher, cute canonical nod and so appropriate to the 60's atmosphere) there was a risk of not pacing things well, but the fast cuts don't feel forced or awkward at all. There's a nice nod to the Return reunion, too.

Hey there, These vids sound good, but your links don't seem to be working.

"The URL contained a malformed video ID."

Thanks so much for pointing out that the link doesn't work. It should be fixed now.

To me, both these links lead to generic YouTube pages promoting the site. I'd love4 to see the vids if you can find them again!

[theladyrose.livejournal.com]

Sorry about that! The link should be fixed now.

I just love this vid.

Made me wax all nostalgic.

It is such a wonderful vid, isn't it? I'm so glad that people are making so many MFU vids, especially since the DVDs have been released.

Great vid -- loved the Sonny & Cher song (especially because of the Hot Number Affair). But I think the couple refs to RV and DMC older (around 50) are actually from the A-Team episode together and not the Return movie?

The vid got caught up in the WB music youtube war,so if you want to see it with the original music, go here:
