the article is a silly loveshrine to the 60s ( which is fine ), but feels the need to take a shot at the movie for no reason,( which is not).
It is perfectly possible to like the movie and be a fan of the series.

Either write about how McCallum gets you moist, or review the movie, Using the former as a stick to beat the latter is cheap and pathetic.
Anyway I enjoyed the movie and have been a fan of the series since reruns in the 90s

Tom Scharpling clearly has no understanding of irony
