Are you thinking of Battle Beyond the Stars? Vaughn basically reprised his Magnificent Seven role in that.

i never watched UNCLE, probly first saw Vaughn in Bullitt, where he looked older than 35, playing first big oily pol/bizman villain he came to specialize in.
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Friday, 11 November 2016 19:14 (seven years ago) link
I love how in the Bullit segment of that McQueen doc from about ten years ago, Vaughn is so casually frank when discussing the appeal of the movie--[paraphrased]"Let's face it, the story makes no sense...but Steve was such a great actor"

I don't discriminate against genres in my listening. I write about what I can talk about reasonably. Norton rules, other people can write more intelligently about them.

Truth be told, I used to get Billy and Miriam confused with Billy and Michelle, who used to cut quite a figure at the front of many an Alex Chilton show, at which they would request (Little) "G.T.O" which he would gladly perform for them. Can't remember ever talking to Billy, did talk to Miriam once about her paperback collection and the appearance therein of both Hal Ellson and Harlan Ellison.
