Danger Man "Time to Kill" #1.2 (1960) (TV)

Is she or isn't she?, 17 September 2014

To go along with the rather short episode lengths, I've decided to make my plot synopsis just as short. For Time to Kill: John Drake sets out to kidnap a hit-man, but ends up dodging bullets while handcuffed to a woman who may or may not be a foreign government operative.

While not as good as the first episode, Time to Kill is still enjoyable enough. These episodes are fast-paced with no filler. McGoohan gives another nice performance. Watching his frustration grow as he is trying to put together his smuggled gun is a nice moment. The highlight of this episode is the mystery surrounding Lisa Orin - the woman handcuffed to Drake. Is she a government operative out to get Drake or is she, as she claims, a teacher on holiday whose dumb luck as put her in danger? I've read complaints about the voice-over narration at the end that puts to rest the mystery of Ms. Orin. Personally, I liked it. I thought it fit nicely into the show as a way to wrap things up.
