Danger Man "The Girl Who Liked G.I.'s" #1.18 (1961) (TV)

Drake investigates the murder of a G.I., 19 June 2015

John Drake's Mission: In Munich, Drake targets a young woman who may know something about the murder of an American G.I. with top secret missile information.

I quite enjoyed The Girl Who Liked G.I.'s. Drake's interaction with the young woman, Vicki (Anna Gaylor), was entertaining. The more Drake tried to draw her out, the more innocent she looked. I think Gaylor's performance might be one of the best I can remember so far in the series. Very nicely done. And the writing was spot on too. The mystery surrounding Vicki worked. I didn't know until the last minute or so if she was really an innocent or some sort of master spy. Good stuff all the way round. If I had any complaint it would be with the limited runtime. This episode could have easily been stretched out and made even better.

In addition to the outstanding performance from Gaylor and the always steady McGoohan, I enjoyed seeing Nigel Green in a small, but important role. He's the kind of actor who always does well.
