Description:
In the early months of 1965, actor and screenwriter Robert Culp undertook a task that would change his life forever. Secretly working without the knowledge of the show's producers, he wrote several scripts for 'I Spy.' Ultimately these scripts would become some of the series' most popular and acclaimed shows. Now, for the first time, Robert Culp candidly reveals the intriguing story behind the scenes of 'I Spy' in unique and exciting commentaries about this groundbreaking television series. Episodes: 'The War Lord' - Assigned to rescue an attractive but impulsive young English girl being held hostage in the back country of Southeast Asia, Robinson and Scott are stymied when she refuse to leave. Co-Starring Jean Marsh. 'Court of the Lion' - An Oxford-educated Zulu seeks revenge on white men by selling industrial diamonds to the Red Chinese. Co-Starring Godfrey Cambridge. 'Magic Mirror' - Kelly Robinson learns that the woman he loves is linked to an exiled dictator he and Scott are assigned to investigate. Co-Starring France Nuyen and Ricardo Montalban. 'Home to Judgement' - Robinson and Scott bungle an assignment and become the hunted rather than the hunters in a deadly cat-and-mouse game across a rugged midwest prairie. Co-Starring Will Geer and Robert Donner.Audio Commentary by actor/writer Robert Culp

Rating: - The Many Faces and Talents of Robert Culp
This DVD contains four episodes of I Spy. Their links are some very many and varied talents of Robert Culp, who at the time was simply a handsome leading man. In these episodes, his additional talents as a writer, director, and his versatility as an actor of depth come to the fore.
In 'The Warlord' he wrote and directed in addition to playing his leading man character, Kelly Robinson, and the Chinese warlord who not only walks between the two cultures of his English schooling and his ... Read More
Rating: - sexy spys and sleazy villains
By far the best collection of I spy episodes. Not knowing the history of the episodes being only a 'twinkle in my daddy's eye' when they were first broadcast it took me to nearly half way through the Warlord to figure out that he was Robert Culp, a real testament to an exceptionally gifted actor. I am afraid my 21st century sensibilities are not moved to emotion easily but Magic Mirror was actually painful to watch especially the scene in the bedroom, I think we can all identify with relationships ...

Rating: - The Culp Collection, A Must Have!
The Commentary on this second of the Culp Collection discs is amazing! Even better than the the first one. Robert Culp gets more into the personal relationships on the show, and the material on Sheldon Leonard, France Nuyen and others is nothing less than fascinating. The behind the scenes material is a real treasure, and the technical information on writing for series television is like a university course. If you're an I Spy fan do yourself a favor and get them both. As usual with this Image Entertainment ... Read More
Rating: - The War Lord
Robert Culp is an amazing man with more talent than I can ever put into words in this review. There are two DVD's that are the "Robert Culp Collection" and I think they contain the best of all the I Spy shows. The War Lord and Home to Judgement have always been two of my favorite episodes and in seeing them again, I remember why I have always felt this way.
Written and performed beautifully, the candy cane inside the pickle on these two DVD's is commentary by Robert Culp.

Rating: - Great writing for television
Today the raves are for Aaron Sorkin and The West Wing, two decades ago it was Bochco and Hill Street Blues, but some of the writing done on I Spy (most by series star Robert Culp) was every bit as lively, crisp and topical as TV is today.
The episodes on this disk, specifically Magic Mirror and Home To Judgement, are some of the best television scripts ever produced.
This is part of a double-DVD set, with all episodes written by series star Robert Culp. I've read where Culp locked himself away in ... Read More
