The Double Life of Henry Phyfe(1966)

The Double Life of Henry Phyfe is a light comedy series starring Red Buttons as an accountant thrust into an unlikely spy impersonation. After an eleven-year absence from television, Buttons carries the show with his comedic timing as his character fumbles through espionage assignments, including an awkward encounter with a fancy horse. The humor relies on Buttons' physical comedy and charm rather than action sequences or elaborate gimmicks. Fred Clark adds warmth to the cast as the good-natured spy chief who orchestrates Henry's misadventures. The series balances gentle laughs with fish-out-of-water scenarios, making it an easygoing watch that prioritizes character-driven comedy over spy-thriller conventions.
