Great old film ; McGoohan is brilliant in it, as are the rest of the cast

@jmsbk12345: No, sorry. In reality it is as Patrick McGoohan made painfully clear, it's not at all related. It is but an allegory for all the ills of Western Civilization the likes of which completely surround us 46 years after his original concept became the Prisoner. Do view his interviews here on You Tube, they're most enlightening and fully explain what I have simply abbreviated.

@snowgirl1052 Absolutely correct.

Good man. Ofcourse its Drake! Very clever and shrude of McGoohan to use the numeral 6 to avoid paying royalties to creator Ralph Smart (very 'smart'). All the clues are there from McGoohans publicity photo for 'Dangerman' in the resignation sequence to the reprisal of Potter played by Christopher Benjamin in the episode 'The Girl Who Was Death'. The outcome of the mission in 'Ice Station Zebra' can even explain Drakes reason for resigning! No one can bash a table like Pat so don't even try, Rock

@stevejailbirdmatt Absolutely true. Also when he resigned because he couldn't trust his bosses anymore, they tried without success to break him in the Prisoner. It's all John Drake, Danger Man.

...an insignificant difference perhaps. John Drake was the greatest secret agent Britain ever had.
-
@jmsbk12345 He turned down the role of james bond because he felt it was too immoral as secret agent man he never used a gun only psychological warfare
-
@PoloniusBent That is so true, and one of the funniest observations I have ever read!

McGoohan puts the stupid marine in his place.
I think this clip conclusively proves that, at any time, anywhere, and completely at his leisure, Patrick McGoohan can kill you.

Patrick McGoohan was the real star of this movie...he elevated it.
