In 1963, Berger met Michael Verhoeven, son of the German film director Paul Verhoeven (not to be confused with the Netherlands Paul Verhoeven). In November 1964, she guest starred in an episode of the U.S. television show, "The Man from U.N.C.L.E", entitled "The Double Affair". It was later expanded and released in cinemas as the feature film "The Spy with My Face" (1965). Also in 1965, she starred in "The Glory Guys", a dramatic representation of Custer's Little Big horn disaster, based on the novel "The Dice of God" by Hoffman Birney. Filmed by Levy-Gardner-Laven and released by United Artists, it stars Tom Tryon, Harve Presnell, Senta Berger, James Caan, and Michael Anderson. Jr. Berger and Verhoeven started their own film production company in 1965, and married in 1966. Berger continued to develop her European career in France and Italy.
