Before James Bond debuted on the big screen in
Dr. No, before
The Avengers, before Simon Templar broke on TV as
The Saint, and before
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. became an
American television hit, there was
Danger
Man, TV's first globe-trotting secret agent. According to the web site
danger-man.co.uk, the initial
Danger Man
series originated when ITV producer
Lew Grade was looking to develop a series
that would do well in America after finding success with
The Adventures of Robin Hood and to a lesser degree
The Invisible Man. Writer
Ralph Smart,
who had worked on
The Invisible Man,
came up with the idea of a "lone wolf" secret agent who traveled the
world handling espionage and related cases. Smart had consulted with James Bond
creator
Ian Fleming, who had already sold the rights to his character to Eon
Productions, so they developed another character named John Drake, who behaved
in much the same manner as Bond. Smart then consulted with writer
Ian Stuart
Black, who added the detail of having Drake be an agent of NATO, and the two
agreed to further distance him from Bond by having him be an American. When
then-hot theatrical actor
Patrick McGoohan was approached about playing Drake,
he made several stipulations on accepting the role--most notably that Drake
would use a gun only as a last resort, i.e., he did not have a "license to
kill," and that he would not only not seduce women on the job but would
not even venture to kiss one. But when today's audiences watch the initial
series' opening credits in which McGoohan introduces himself as "Drake...John
Drake," the connection to Bond is unmistakable.
In the UK, the initial series' 39 episodes aired between
September 1960 and January 1962. While
danger-man.co.uk states that the first
episode to air, "View From the Villa," ran on September 10, 1960, the
audio commentary for the
Timeless Media Group DVD release says that it aired
September 12, 1960. In the U.S.
Danger
Man was shown on CBS as a replacement for the hastily canceled
Wanted Dead or Alive between April 5 and
September 13, 1961, a period of 24 weeks. However, it is not entirely clear
whether only 24 episodes aired in the States because they were not shown in
sequence, and up to two episodes might air the same evening on different
channels. For example, in the May 13, 1961 issue of
TV Guide, Iowa edition, the episode "The Conspirators"
(episode 21) airs May 17 (week 7 since the program's U.S. debut) on the CBS
affiliates for Cedar Rapids, Rock Island, and Des Moines at 7:30 p.m., but
later that same evening the episode "View From the Villa" (episode 1)
airs on the Ottumwa affiliate, which is a shared CBS and NBC station, at 9:30
p.m. In the Carolina/Tennessee region, "View From the Villa" aired
one week earlier. This same pattern repeated in September when Ottumwa aired
"The Island" (episode 16) one week after it aired in Georgia, while
the rest of Iowa saw "The Girl in Pink Pajamas" (episode 6), so
perhaps Ottumwa was just one week behind the other markets. In the Chicago
region, the program debuted on April 5 with an episode labeled "Handcuffed,"
according to the
TV Guide listing,
but it is obviously "Time to Kill" (episode 2), which screen writer
Brian Clemens claims in the DVD commentary was actually the pilot. The
haphazard sequencing of episodes produced some interesting anomalies, such as
the fact that "The Nurse" (episode 37) aired June 28, 1961 in the
Rochester, New York area but did not air until January 6, 1962 in the UK. In
any case, it's probably safe to say that American audiences did not see the
full 39 episodes in 1961, and without a complete collection of
TV Guides it is virtually impossible to
determine the complete list of episodes they did see.
Thematically, the Season 1 episodes typically begin with
some kind of crime or problematic incident occurring in the opening teaser,
followed by Drake being summoned by one of several superiors and given his
assignment, as on
Mission: Impossible
but without the anonymous, self-destructing tape recording, usually sending him
to an exotic locale. However, this pattern is broken in two episodes that
feature Drake trying to take a much needed vacation (much as Perry Mason always
seems to have his fishing trips spoiled by some local legal conundrum). In
"Vacation" (episode 20), Drake boards a plane for Nice and
coincidentally winds up sitting next to Andrew Amory, whom he recognizes as a
notorious assassin from a file he reviewed in Washington some time ago. Rather
than consulting with his superiors, he decides to trail Amory to see what he is
up to, and inserts himself into the assassination that Amory has been hired to
carry out. This episode reinforces the notion that Drake is so devoted to his
cause that he takes on pro bono work while off the clock. In "Find and
Destroy" (episode 35), Drake is about to leave for another much needed
vacation in Brazil when his contact John Gordon shows up at his house just as
he is leaving for the airport. Gordon has an assignment in Korea that he wants
Drake to take, but Drake fends him off by taking a couple of belts of liquor
just before Gordon enters the door and then feigns mental instability on top of
morning drinking to get Gordon to concur with Drake's doctor's opinion that he
needs some time off. However, after beginning his vacation in Rio, Drake one
day returns to his hotel room to find Commander Ford and his associates in his
hotel room assembling a kayak and other gear for Drake to be dropped on a
nearby coastline in search of a lost and very valuable prototype unmanned
submarine that the opposition would love to capture and reverse engineer. Drake
takes Ford's assignment and, as the title says, finds and destroys the
submarine just as it is about to fall into the enemy's hands, then resumes his
vacation sunbathing on the beach when he receives a phone call from Gordon. He
assumes that Gordon wants him to head straight to Korea, but instead Gordon
tells him about a missing sub in his area and asks if he can give those seeking
it a hand. Rather than telling him he has already handled it, Drake slyly tells
Gordon he will get right on it and should be able to wrap it up in a few days,
thereby guaranteeing that the rest of his vacation won't be interrupted.
Another area where
Danger
Man breaks the stereotypical secret agent formula (before the formula had
even hardened) was in its treatment of female characters. We noted above that
McGoohan refused to follow the Ian Fleming notion that women were mere toys
used by Bond as pleasure devices and by his enemies as bait.
Danger Man is notable for the number of
women involved in espionage as principal players, not mere supporting
accessories. In "Find and Return" (episode 17), Drake is assigned to
capture and bring back Vanessa Stewart, who is alleged to have committed
treasonous activities in Greece while traveling on a British passport. After
discovering that she is being sheltered in the heavily guarded estate of
wealthy kingpin Ramfi, Drake infiltrates the compound first posing as a lawyer
sent to handle a matter for Ramfi's wife, whom he has coerced to help him by preying
on her jealousy over her husband's attention to Stewart, and then gets Stewart
to play along by pretending to be the opposition agent sent to escort her to
the other side. However, after executing a daring kidnapping operation and
spiriting her back to London, Drake shows compassion for Stewart, after she
shows remorse for her treachery that resulted in the real opposition agent's
death, by burning her British passport rather than handing it over to his
superior Hardy, costing himself the 5000-pound bounty he was owed for
retrieving it but also reducing Stewart's prison sentence by eliminating one of
the charges for which she would have been convicted. While the author of
danger-man.co.uk
states that Drake has a nearly misogynistic attitude toward women, this episode
shows him treating Stewart with respect and empathy.
"Name, Date and Place" (episode 19) finds Drake
assigned to investigate and break up a murder-for-hire organization with the
twist being that the company's chief assassin is a woman. Though the assassin
can be seen as a typical femme fatale, particularly since the head of the
organization is a male named Collingwood Nash, the company's chief saleswoman
and negotiator is also female, as are the two levels of contacts Drake has to
follow to work his way to the top and find Nash. In "The Gallows
Tree" (episode 23) Drake is sent to a remote corner of Scotland in search
of a well-known spy who was believed to have been killed years ago only to
discover that his daughter has taken over his spy operations as a way to get
the opposition to leave her still-living father alone. And in "The
Contessa" (episode 29) Drake is sent to Italy to break up a drug-smuggling
operation that delivers dope to the States but is surprised to find that the
ring is run by a wealthy socialite referred to as The Contessa rather than her
husband, who it turns out died several years prior. The Contessa explains to
Drake that she kept her husband's death a secret because she knew the men lower
down in the organization would resist working for a woman, but her rationale
for continuing to operate the ring, despite the fact that it contributed to his
death when he himself became an addict, is a bit twisted--she says that her
husband picked her out of the gutter after a childhood of poverty and treated
her like royalty, so she feels obligated to continue living a life of luxury in
his honor. The series still has its share of females serving as unwitting
accomplices, such as in "The Relaxed Informer" (episode 24) or
"The Girl Who Liked G.I.s" (episode 18), or willing accomplices for
treacherous men, such as in "The Key" (episode 11) or "The
Deputy Coyannis Story" (episode 34), but it is still remarkable for the
number of women it shows engaged in criminal activity.
One of the more amusing aspects of the series is watching
McGoohan's mannerisms when Drake affects a character that needs to come off as
particularly American or seedy, which are sometimes interchangeable. He often
assumes a semi-drunk, shambolic way of moving, slovenly dress, and often speaks
with his mouth full of food or chewing gum, a stark contrast to his usual
smartly dressed, well-mannered cool operator. While Sean Connery's Bond may be
able to pull off the fake drunk act, he would never pass for the Ugly American
that McGoohan seems to relish impersonating. And while the plots may have grown
a little more predictable as the initial series wore on, the final episode
"Deadline" (episode 39) is remarkable in that McGoohan is the only
white actor in the entire cast for a story that primarily takes place in Africa
but whose journey begins in London when Drake is summoned to the home of Sir
Aaron Nelson, whom Drake is surprised to learn is black. Several earlier
episodes use white European actors with dark-skinned makeup to play a series of
Middle Eastern and Indian characters, but "Deadline" provides
something one would never see during this era in an American TV production--a
cast full of genuine black actors. Danger
Man broke new ground on a number of fronts and was clearly ahead of its
time. It managed to find its greatest success a few years later in the
resurrected version, named Secret Agent
when shown in the U.S., after the rest of the world had caught up with what Danger Man had started.
The Danger Man
theme was written by Edwin Astley, who was profiled in the 1961 post on Whiplash.
The Actors
Patrick McGoohan
Patrick Joseph McGoohan was born March 19, 1928 in Queens,
New York to Irish Catholic immigrants who returned to their home country when
Patrick was 6 months old. His father, whom McGoohan described as illiterate but
with an amazing memory, a fondness for Shakespeare, and a talent for the
violin, tried his hand at farming in the poorest county in Ireland before
finally moving the family to Sheffield, England 7 years later. During World War
II, Patrick was evacuated to Leicestershire, where he attended Ratcliffe
College, excelling in mathematics and boxing as well as playing the lead in a
theatrical production of King Lear. He
left school at age 16 and went to work in a wire factory before moving on to a
bank, which he said made him feel caged. So he next found work as a chicken
farmer, but an allergy revived his childhood asthma, and after spending 6
months recovering, he eventually found work as an assistant stage manager for
the Sheffield Repertory Company. When actors in the company fell ill, McGoohan
was pressed to fill in and eventually became a member of the regular cast,
appearing in some 200 productions over the next four years. During this period
he met actress Joan Drummond and the couple married in 1951. He made his
television debut in a 1954 episode of the American history series You Are There, playing opposite Lorne
Greene. By 1955 he had made his way to the West End in London, where he was
spotted by Orson Welles during a production of Serious Charge. Welles cast him as Starbuck in his own London
production of Moby Dick Rehearsed and
would say in a 1969 interview, McGoohan "would now be, I think, one of the
big actors of our generation if TV hadn't grabbed him. He can still make it. He
was tremendous as Starbuck." That same year he made his feature film
debut, appearing in four full-length movies, two of them uncredited. When
working as a stand-in for Dirk Bogarde, he was offered a contract with the Rank
Organisation, but soon grew to dislike their handling of actors and let the
contract lapse after appearing in four feature films in 1957-58. In 1959 he
received a London Drama Critics Award for his performance in a production of
Henrik Ibsen's Brand. He also found
occasional work on various TV programs in the late 1950s, but it was a
supporting role in Clifford Odets' "The Big Knife" for ITV Play of the Week that caught the eye
of producers Lew Grade and Ralph Smart, who recruited McGoohan to play secret
agent John Drake in Danger Man,
beginning in 1960.
After the program's initial run of 39 episodes, McGoohan
returned to feature films, now as the star rather than a supporting actor, but
he turned down the role of James Bond in
Dr.
No because as a devout Roman Catholic he was opposed to the role's
celebration of sex and violence. It was the first of many notable roles he
would turn down, including Simon Templar on
The
Saint, James Bond again in
Live and
Let Die, Charles Shaughnessy in
Ryan's
Daughter,
Peter Falk's replacement on
Columbo,
Gandalf in the
Lord of the Rings trilogy,
and Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movie series. Instead he found what he
considered more suitable roles in a pair of Walt Disney 1963 features,
The Three Lives of Thomasina and
Dr. Syn, Alias The Scarecrow. By 1964
with the secret agent craze in full swing, McGoohan was persuaded to resurrect
John Drake in a 1-hour series that aired in the U.S. under the title
Secret Agent. But this time McGoohan
demanded and was given more creative control. Still, he later said the
producers kept wanting to introduce more sex and violence into the series, a la
James Bond, but when he felt the series had run its course, he abruptly refused
to continue but persuaded Grade to back a new series about a secret agent who
resigns and is then kidnapped and transported to a remote "village"
that is actually a prison for those who know too much. Created, produced, and
sometimes directed and written by McGoohan,
The
Prisoner ran for only 17 episodes but became a cult classic. He continued
to star in intense feature film roles in
Ice
Station Zebra,
The Moonshine War,
and
Mary, Queen of Scots in the early
1970s. After his production company in England went bankrupt, he and his wife
relocated to California, in part to get away from the glare of the British
press, as he later remarked that movie stars are a dime a dozen in Hollywood.
In 1974 he made the first of four notable guest appearances on
Columbo, two of which garnered him the
only Emmy awards of his career. He returned to television in a starring role as
a grouchy former Army doctor who has moved into private practice in
Rafferty in 1977, but the series lasted
only 13 episodes, and McGoohan later said it was hamstrung by a committee of
producers all of whom thought they were in charge. In his later career, he
found steady work back in supporting roles on feature films such as
Silver Streak,
Escape From Alcatraz,
Scanners,
and
Braveheart. After reprising his
role as
The Prisoner's Number Six in
a 2000 episode of
The Simpsons,
McGoohan logged his last credit as the voice of Billy Bones in the 2002 Disney
animated feature
Treasure Planet. He
passed away from an undisclosed illness on January 13, 2009 at the age of 80.
Richard Wattis
Richard Cameron Wattis was born in Wednesbury, Staffordshire
on February 25, 1912, the oldest of two boys. After attending school, he went
to work for the William Sanders & Co. electrical engineering firm where his
uncle was managing director, but began dabbling in amateur theatrical
productions in Walsall at Her Majesty's Theatre before moving to the Croydon
Repertory in 1935. He made his feature film debut three years later in an
uncredited part in A Yank at Oxford,
which starred Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor. His fledgling movie career was
interrupted by World War II, during which he served in the Royal Army Medical
Corps. Returning to civilian life, his career took a few years to get rolling,
as he only logged uncredited roles and a pair of TV movies in the latter 1940s.
But beginning with The Best Years of Your
Life in 1950, Wattis found steady work primarily playing stuffy, officious
figures in comedies such as The Lavender
Hill Mob, The Importance of Being
Earnest, and The Belles of St.
Trinians, the first of three St. Trinians comedies in which he would play
education official Manton Bassett. He would also show up in minor roles in The Man Who Knew Too Much, Around the World in 80 Days, and The Prince and the Showgirl amongst
dozens of other features in the mid-to-late 1950s. His first recurring TV role
came playing Peter Jamison in 6 episodes of Dick
and the Duchess in 1957-58. At the same time he was playing one of John
Drake's many superiors on Danger Man
in 1960-61 he appeared as Charles A. Brown in 17 episodes of the Eric Sykes
comedy series Sykes and A... He would
return to the role for the first three seasons of Sykes' 1970s sit-com Sykes from 1972-74. In between he had
dozens more feature film roles in movies such as Come Fly With Me, The V.I.P.s,
The Liquidator, Casino Royale, Wonderwall,
and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. He had a
starring role as P.C. Eddie Edwards in the short-lived 1971 sit-com Coppers End, appeared in 14 episodes as
the storyteller on the children's series Jackanory,
and had a supporting role in the 1974 Disney serial "Diamonds on
Wheels" which appeared on The
Magical World of Disney. He died of a heart attack while dining at a
Kensington restaurant on February 1, 1975 at the age of 62.
