Patrick McGoohan makes the scene as a suave, collected secret agent (man!) in this internationally minded series. It's not a great story -interviewing folks to track down $5,000,000 of gold embezzled from NATO, but Pat plows through it in style, with Barbara Shelley a bona fide guest star to get things rolling. Unfortunately, the casting of a villain worthy of that title is poor.
The violence is vivid but contained and overall there's an urbanity to the show that is appealing. I was surprised at how he managed to create a Bond image (first id, goes, "Drake, John Drake") before the Bond movies were made.
