Danger Man "The Lonely Chair" #1.8 (1960) (TV)

McGoohan really impresses in this one, 23 September 2014

John Drake's Mission: When the daughter of a wheelchair-bound industrialist with government secrets is kidnapped, Drake is called in to get her back.

What started out has a ho-hum kidnapping turns into an incredible episode thanks to McGoohan. He gives his best performance so far in the series. In The Lonely Chair, he is afforded the opportunity to really chew the scenery - and he does it quite well. He's really a lot of fun in this one. He's joined by another nice cast featuring Sam Wanamaker and the always delightful Hazel Court. I get a real kick out of some of the actors who appear in each episode.

One thing I especially enjoyed is the humor in The Lonely Chair. Most of the other episodes have been played so seriously, this was a nice change of pace.

An 8/10 from me.
