Drake tackles drug smugglers, 21 July 2015
John Drake's Mission: After a drug smuggling ring is discovered in New York, Drake sets off for Italy to find the source and those ultimately responsible.
At best, The Contessa is an average episode. The biggest problem is that the plot isn't all that special. It's too straight forward without the twists and turns that make the better Danger Man episode so good. Plus, as I've stated before, I never care for McGoohan playing a drunk. It's about the only thing I can think of that he does not excel at as an actor. On the plus side, The Contessa features two actresses worth noting. First, Hazel Court is simply amazing. Whether its Devil Girl from Mars or The Masque of the Red Death, she's good. Second, I've only known Jackie Collins as Joan's sister. Never thought much about her. All I can say about her appearance in The Contessa is wow - what a looker!
