The 1960s
The greatest successes of Felton's career came in the 1960s, when he produced and developed several classic television shows including The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Dr. Kildare.
It was Felton who approached James Bond creator Ian Fleming to collaborate in the development of U.N.C.L.E. When contractual obligations forced Fleming to pull out, Felton brought in Sam Rolfe to replace him. In 1965, he received a Golden Globe Award for The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and 1966 he received an Emmy Award nomination for the same show.
Felton made one cameo appearance in U.N.C.L.E., as a chess player in the party scene of the first season episode, "The Giuoco Piano Affair".
At this time, he was also executive producer of the Wendell Corey/Jack Ging/Ralph Bellamy medical drama focusing on psychiatry, The Eleventh Hour, which aired on NBC from 1962-1964.
