Not the stuff of grand drama, of course, but many of the tricks Mundy employs are clever. And in one episode his target to "steal" is a small girl whose parents can't get her out of Iron Curtain Bulgaria and into Turkey. (Yes, the script actually used the names of the countries.) Mundy is determined to get her out come hell or high water. We're never told why, there's no indication that perhaps he had a little sister who reminds him of the girl, as a modern story would have it. He merely is determined that it's the right thing to do.<br /><br />And hey: beautiful girls; and I'm the straightest guy you'll ever run across, but let's face it, Wagner is one of the best-looking movie/TV stars ever. He was in his mid-thirties when he did this, too. Amazing.Benzadmiralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16762681617545684805noreply@blogger.com
