Danger Man "The Sisters" #1.12 (1960) (TV)

More relaxed than most episodes, 26 September 2014

John Drake's Mission: Determine whether or not a defecting scientist is who she claims to be with the help of her long lost sister being held inconveniently, in some Eastern European country.

The Sisters is an enjoyable enough episode that kept me guessing (correctly this time) all the way to the end. Drake is convinced that one of the sisters isn't who she claims to be, but how to find out? Drake devises a solution that, while it may be simple, is a pleasure to watch unfold. The final revelation is nicely handled. As usual, good performances from all involved. It's always nice to see Anthony Dawson pop-up in something like Danger Man.

As another reviewer pointed out, The Sisters is the first episode I can remember with "filler". While it did provide a chance to see John Drake in a more relaxed and different light, I would have preferred more scenes of the escape from whatever the name of that Eastern European country was. That section of The Sisters could have used some beefing-up.

Overall, a 7/10 from me.
