Jeremiah Chechick directed this $60 million adaptation of the whimsical 1961 British TV spy series, imported to the United States five years later for
ABC airing (beginning 3/28/66), followed by
The New Avengers (
CBS, 1978-79). In the feature-length version, secret agent John Steed (
Ralph Fiennes) and Emma Peel (
Uma Thurman) face a meteorological menace as they track sinister super-villain Sir August de Wynter (
Sean Connery), threatening to blitz Britain with blizzards and other extreme weather. Vocal cameo by
Patrick Macnee (the original TV Steed).
