A couple of years ago I rented from San Francisco's intensely
cinephilic video store, Le Video, a feature length (90
minutes-plus) item called DANGER MAN, starring Patrick
McGoohan. The interesting thing was that it had been shot in
<color> and appeared to have been made in the time
period between SECRET AGENT and THE PRISONER. It wasn't just
a coupla shorter tv show segments stuck together back to
back. It hung together, narratively, just like a movie.
Haven't ever seen any of the shorter, 30 minute DANGER MANs.
Something to look forward to.
