DVD Reviews of Secret Agent (aka Danger Man) - The Complete Collection Megaset 2007
DVD Review: Secret Danger Man Macgoohan rocks!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Prior to his hit role as "No.6" in the Prisoner, Patrick Macgoohan was John Drake of NATO and leter "M9". He was James Bond before James Bond hit the big screen and he really would have been perfect for the role. The Secret Agent Danger Man series was similar to Fleming's Bond in the books. Bond and Secret Danger Man both had intrique, violence, high-tech gadgetry (for the time) and exotic locales. What Secret Danger Man did not have was sex or a gun compared to Ian Fleming's James Bond. All around a good buy now that the price has dropped. Its too bad nearly all the episodes were in black and white, they would have looked good in color. Then again if you watched the last two episodes that were made in color you might have to change your mind.DVD Review: Very Entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
A good quality production with a good deal of on location footage along with good actors and excellent dialouge make this series a good selection to add to any dvd collection. The music score is also well done. The first portion of the series' shows are approx.40 ea. and fast paced. But I prefer the hour long episodes, This is where Patrick Magoohan gets to use a broader range of his skills and participate in more lengthy, well written dialouge.DVD Review: Great fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a child, I watched Secret Agent on PBS. Years later, from the prospective of someone who grew up during the Cold War, the show still does not disappoint.
I've now watched most of the half-hour Danger Man episodes in this set, and they are just as good as the full-hour Secret Agent episodes. Patrick McGoohan's wry presence; lots of snappy, fast-paced dialogue (delivered in McGoohan's inimitable style); lots of fun pseudo-judo; wonderful character actors in supporting roles. This is simply a fun show. It's also unique, as far as I know, in that John Drake is a secret agent for NATO, rather than MI5 or CIA. I'm not aware of any other program or movie with this little twist.
I have been very happy with the picture quality thus far, and, while it's annoying that there are no subtitles, I have not experienced the sound or foreign accent issues that a couple of others have noted. I find it all very easy to understand, and the recording levels to be perfectly adequate.
By the way, I'd say this show is okay for most kids, maybe 9 or 10 years and older. There is some comparatively mellow gun play and violence--nothing worse than that found in Disney's Pocahontas (seriously); and some very mild sexual situations--nothing more salacious than in Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame (seriously).
Be sure to buy the complete set that includes both Danger Man and Secret Agent, at 3420 minutes! Any set that is shorter in minutes is not complete and far more expensive!
DVD Review: Great series / great price
Summary: 5 Stars
The best "spy" series of the '60s. If you were old enough to watch this series 'back in the day' you will enjoy the 'bang for the buck' it gives you TODAY. Please also bare in mind that this seies started in the UK back in '59 !! I was not aware of it till I saw the roman numeral copyright years on the very first episodes.
Almost 50 years later ( for me ) I have had a chance to see alot more of what was 'implied' as well. They kept the show pretty clean and probably HAD TO back in those years. You will see a fair amount of sexual inuendo, promiscuity, and racy behavior coming from the actresses who are now nearing 70 y/o.
I like the 'cold war' spy plots and one analysis from a Middle Eastern 'contact' who said in one episode, " whoever controls oil in 50 years will control the world and countries will even go to war over it's control". WOW !! This is a statement made in one of the shows when Super Shell was .26 cents a gallon.
Patrick McGoohan was a class 'act' in this series and if you are my age you will probably enjoy this 'value pack'.
DVD Review: A&E/New Video customer service is poor. Product packaged incorrectly
Summary: 2 Stars
BUYER BEWARE: I purchased this set thinking I had the ENTIRE Danger Man series, but when I got to disc 7 I found that the company A&E/New Video had mistakenly put disc 4 in the case so now I have two disc 4's and no disc 7's. When I contacted A&E/New Video's customer service several times asking them if they could send me disc 7 in the mail I got no response. So purchase this, or any other A&E/New Video title, at your own risk but realize they'll leave you out in the cold if their product turns out to be defective.
