LOL. It's one of those movies I wanted to see again and again for 25 years and finally found it 15 years ago on VHS and now on DVD. Starred Roy Thinnes. The late 60's technology looked like science fiction to a 10 year old then and of course the models and space gadgetry were great. Related to photography are the scenes where the enemy spy would take images of TOP SECRET plans with the camera in his prosthetic eyeball by tapping his finger on his temple. He'd then take his eyeball out and develop the transparency film in his mini photo lab, and then attach the eyeball to a projector to view the images. I'm such a geek and throwback I probably watch it twice a year.
