This is a very enjoyable episode. Martin Landau gives an elegant performance. He conveys a sense of zest and intelligence here, as he usually does. To me, when he would create a character to fool the bad guys, he did it with a light touch, while later on Leonard Nimoy in the same kind of role would have a much heavier touch. I think Landau was much more effective than Nimoy. Nimoy was adequate. But Landau was great.
Many of the plot elements here will be very familiar to MI fans, but they are handled well. The plot moves along quickly and it is exciting to watch the caper unfold.
