Movie Reviews of Secret Agent (aka Danger Man) - The Complete Collection Megaset 2007
Movie Review: My name's Drake ... John Drake
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this set rather on impulse. I have a couple of the "Secret Agent" DVD's and love them (having watched, and loved, "The Prisoner" in my teens). So, knowing that those were great, surely Danger Man had to be great too.
And it is, though in a much different way. I'm watching the disks in order, so I'm only a little ways in, but I've enjoyed almost all the stories so far. They're a bit campy, (though less so than the later series) and (as another reviewer noted) sometimes a bit rushed, but generally well written with good production values. Pat McGoohan is always great. The guest actors are a bit more variable (a few dodgy accents, a tendency to put 'dark' make-up on Anglo actors to make them pass for Indians and North Africans)but most do a good job.
It's especially interesting, in the first disk or two, to see how the writers and producers (and actors) gradually settled in, making subtle changes as they went along. (In the first couple of episodes, they seemed to want to avoid setting the stories in any 'real' places, so they simply avoiding naming them -- leading to some bizarre dialogue about 'why are you visiting our country?' and 'where did you learn to speak the langauge of this country?' Eventually they apparently decided to just make up countries, so we get a wide assortment of imaginary Eastern European, Middle Eastern and Latin American locales. (Where, of course, everyone speaks fluent English with accents.)
Looking forward to watching more.
So why only 4 stars? At least one of the episodes is unwatchable, lots of freezing and break-ups. And, while I suppose I shouldn't complain given the price, the complete lack of extras is frustrating. There aren't even any subtitles.
