  • Thank you for posting this movie. My dad is the detective on the walkie talkie in the French trench coat at the airport waiting room. R.I.P. dad. He was 50 years old when this film made in 1979. I`m now 60 years old. Where do the decades go?!

    Patrick hardly had any dialogue in this film but it wasn't really needed. He expressed himself without words. Such a wonderful actor.
  • Van Cleef and McGoohan are great together. What a shame this was the only film with the two together!
  • @caffenefree
    Watching on Pat's birthday. I believe he would have been 94 this year. Legendary. no one quite like him before or since.
  • @b.2221
    As a boy I loved him in Danger Man and Hell Drivers simply awesome actor.

    When movies are movies,not the crap like now

    A low-profile but decent enjoyable film. Pat McGoohan is in his element whenever he plays the part of an introspective character like this.

    God, the tension in this movie; had me all dry mouth and everything. This is the way I like it, the subtle, silent ramping up of tensions. That bit where he was checking the quality of his gunsight in the warehouse, it almost killed me; silence used so well.
  • Patrick McGoohan, A very underrated actor, producer and director. “The Prisoner” was his idea from start to finish
  • @arachnonixon
    in my mind, Mcgoohan's characters' in The Prisoner, Danger Man & Ice Station Zebra are all the same guy. I've never seen this movie before, but it fits in great w/ my overall fan theory timeline. thanks for the upload

    I'm a collector of seventies films ,so this was a very special film for me,a masterpiece, I saw it in 1979 in a tiny London cinema,its been on my list ti purchase ,This is a remarkable movie ,Patrick gives his finest performance along with Lee van cleef ,Biautiful Irish locations and exceptional direction a d photography and musis make this a very enjoyable watch, This for me is the best film about professional killers,forget all the modern rubbish films were they have them living like movie stars ,this shows thi gs as they are, This film only got a limited release but in 1979 in Photoplay the reviews were outstanding and the film has a huge cult following, I list this film in my top ten British films along side Straw Dogs and Villain .Thanks for posting a perfect print, highly appreciated. Enjoy the film if you haven't viewed yet,
  • BINGO! Danger Man and Angel Eyes in the same movie. Two of my best actors. What more could I want than Van Cleef and McGoohan. Thanks, Johnny.

    Nice to see MaGoohan at his enigmatic best again RIP Big Fella .
  • An honour to watch the Great McGoogan at work, never even heard of this. Kind, patient, quiet contract killer with real gritty character. So much more to him than Danger Man and The Prisoner, definitely will be watching again. Many thanks for this upload. Be seeing you................

    A pleasure to watch McGoohan’s sparse acting-he’s in a class of his own.Interesting pairing with Lee Van Cleef,likeable noir quality to this film,a favourite.

    As a young boy I loved him in Secret Agent Man, not to mentioned the great song.

    I saw McGowan a few years before he died in Los Angeles... I was painting a bar in Santa Monica that was open 24 hrs a day... The owner wanted to get the job done before customers came in so I started at 5 AM in the morning. McGowan came in and sat at the bar at 6 AM while I was painting the backsplash of the grill. He was the only customer in the bar and ordered a whiskey and read some Hollywood paper. I didn't want to embarrass him by recognizing him so I ignored him. He died alone; a lifelong alcoholic: forgotten and ignored by the film industry and by the masses.

    Real bars of soap in the gents! How 1979. It saved his life, though.
