Definitely agree with you there. It's one of the few spy series of the 60's to even try to incorporate a realistic feel, semi film noir-ish in feel despite the fact that it's shot in color. It's also one of the few spy series not to have bombastic brass blaring the entire time. John Barry's semi-minimalist score was an homage to Anton Karas's zither work on the Third Man.
On the topic of realistic 60's spy films, I've been meaning to watch The Spy Who Came in From the Cold for ages but haven't had the time to get around to it.
