Just an observation...

This photo has some curious little details that no one would have suspected would be sussed out when it was taken 50 years ago.  The story it belongs to is  HERE, a Short Affair by hypatia_66
So, poor Illya is face down and looking the worse for it.  Not to be ignored are the brown socks, a serious fashion faux pas.  And the heels are as high as the famous Cuban heels on the Beatle boots, a serious inch and a half of added height for (according to some records), the 5"7" Kuryakin.  I suppose it helped even out the difference on screen, between him and Solo.  Of course I'm referring to them by their characters, we all know Mr. McCallum was shorter than Mr. Vaughn; it makes no difference, we love him just the same.

Those brown socks are just so wrong, but I can forgive him :-)

I've often wondered about the brown socks - it's just possible they're a different shade of black from his suit, and it has been picked up by the colour film. But that's taking a charitable view.

Has Illya developed color blindness? Plot bunny!

I was wondering : does anyone knows in what episode this shot is ?

Is it 'Do-It-Yourself-Dreadful'?
