I am a retired American, and so I go all the way back to the beginning of American television, in other words, Milton Berle and Gorgeous George. You can always tell the mark of the genius when you see a Frank Lloyd Wright house, the camera work of Orson Welles, or the direction of John Drake, Secret Agent. Whether the subject is black and white television or, later on, color television; John Drake, Secret Agent, yes, in black and white, was the best television series ever made.

Great entertainment! And, a great recruiting tool for the period. But, realistic... Well first off, the intimate world of this Secret Agent's organization is contrary to the large stations of the period run by both sides.

There are sequences in French, Arabic, Greek, and Italian...you either need to understand the languages or figure out what's being said via the context (which is what I did).
I'm thankful that the producers never dumbed the show down for the audience. If the script called ... Read More

John Drake, English secret agent, travels around the world defeating the enemies of the Free World, whether they're working for the Communist Chinese, the Soviets or just some out to help themselves. Very well done, and you can see some of the skill that would later go into The Prisoner series. You can certainly see how the character in The Prisoner resembles John Drake as well.
One of the things I liked about Danger Man is how the character is almost like a real intelligence agent. The guy ... Read More
