Thank you for posting this movie. My dad is the detective on the walkie talkie in the French trench coat at the airport waiting room. R.I.P. dad. He was 50 years old when this film made in 1979. I`m now 60 years old. Where do the decades go?!
That’s really cool. Patrick Magoohan was a great actor. I wonder why he wasn’t used more in the 80s and 90s? Maybe he was getting up in age by then. Anyway, take care
I remember the iconic itv series The prisoner series Danger Man. A versatile actor who was in the tv drama Jamaica inn with Jane Seymour and Mary Queen of Scott's with Glenda Jackson Vanessa Redgrave
we live not far from where they filmed Hells Drivers - cracking film. my dad remembers them dropping that aggregate lorry off the South Downs..said that as soon as the film crew were done every little boy clambered down there to grab a bit as a souvenir
Like what “crap now”? Are you talking about stuff like, No Country for Old Men, Saving Private Ryan, Goodfellas, Schindler’s list? What a buffoon to think we make crap nowadays. We ALWAYS made crap and we always MADE masterpieces. No difference between what was made in the 60’s and what is made today. Stop looking down your uppity nostalgic filled nostrils and see movies for the individual works they are rather than juxtaposing your asinine time stamp on them.
oh DO put a cork in it would you; you sound like nothing so much as an old belching, farting crank. times change, perspectives change, cinema's technical latitudes EVOLVE. what's the problem, too many non-whites for your taste now boyo? such fatuous blather. there's a WEALTH of phenomenally good cinema being produced all over the world NOW as there was THEN; just cast about & LOOK. being stuck in the past is a sure sign of social & aesthetic dementia.
yes excellent. came across it on channel 4 in the 1990s, by chance. stuck with me. up there with "get carter" and "day of the jackal" in my view. mcgoohans portrayal of the the cynical, dispirited, weary of life professional killer was pretty poignant and closer to accurate than most. so many Hollywood hit men and assassin portrayals have been borrowed from this in the decades since, often lacking the realism and grit of this film.
@@regwatson2017 ach no, unfortunately they're serious. mediocre at best; the disparate elements of eno vs the violin of tommy potts, the wife's narration ( a kind of strained "greek chorus"), the odd casting of mcgoohan vs van cleef, the small inconsistencies (hard soled boots in the final showdown in the house(?!), the 1st target in the yard putting his hands out slightly as he falls (because he doesn't know how to make the fall), "connor's the best"-"i'm sending the best" (so exactly WHO IS "the best" anyway, especially given that macneal takes connor out in the end-& anyway, you already KNOW they're going to cancel each other out)...no, this doesn't rise above a B- at best. "DOGS OF WAR" is far better at portraying this type of character, the solitary, disconnected merc against a bleak landscape. i'm glad to have watched it for the sake of ticking it off (even though i fell asleep numerous times) but it's simple not all that & i'm dead bang sure mcgoohan would have agreed; in fact he said as much in a quote about his opinion of his own filmography.
I'm a collector of seventies films ,so this was a very special film for me,a masterpiece, I saw it in 1979 in a tiny London cinema,its been on my list ti purchase ,This is a remarkable movie ,Patrick gives his finest performance along with Lee van cleef ,Biautiful Irish locations and exceptional direction a d photography and musis make this a very enjoyable watch, This for me is the best film about professional killers,forget all the modern rubbish films were they have them living like movie stars ,this shows thi gs as they are, This film only got a limited release but in 1979 in Photoplay the reviews were outstanding and the film has a huge cult following, I list this film in my top ten British films along side Straw Dogs and Villain .Thanks for posting a perfect print, highly appreciated. Enjoy the film if you haven't viewed yet,
watching this now 5/9/2024 first on YT came just watched The Medusa Touch with Burton and Lee also a first I saw Straw Dogs but not Villain since u like classics check out (The Last Run ) with George C Scott with then wife Devere also Toni Musante and The Driver with Ryan O’Neal and Dern ..great films 🎉😂
@@linwoodsly7101 yes both the Driver and Last run are favorites of mine,have on dvd,watch the Driver every year, your obviously a fan of these type of films ,Villain anouther masterpiece, how did you enjoy the film ,do you collect Seventies dvds ,love fo know your favorites.
A pleasure to watch McGoohan’s sparse acting-he’s in a class of his own.Interesting pairing with Lee Van Cleef,likeable noir quality to this film,a favourite.
God, the tension in this movie; had me all dry mouth and everything. This is the way I like it, the subtle, silent ramping up of tensions. That bit where he was checking the quality of his gunsight in the warehouse, it almost killed me; silence used so well.
I saw McGowan a few years before he died in Los Angeles... I was painting a bar in Santa Monica that was open 24 hrs a day... The owner wanted to get the job done before customers came in so I started at 5 AM in the morning. McGowan came in and sat at the bar at 6 AM while I was painting the backsplash of the grill. He was the only customer in the bar and ordered a whiskey and read some Hollywood paper. I didn't want to embarrass him by recognizing him so I ignored him. He died alone; a lifelong alcoholic: forgotten and ignored by the film industry and by the masses.
@@TV-yp1xp The story is a story of where I met Patrick McGoohan, and how I met Patrick McGoohan and when I met Patrick McGoohan and why I met Patrick McGoohan... The story exposes the fact that Patrick McGoohan was a lonely alcoholic who went to bars alone at 6 A.M. in the morning so nobody would see him and recognize him for the lonely alcoholic he was. Is that clear enough for you? Or do you need it tattooed on your *sshole?
in my mind, Mcgoohan's characters' in The Prisoner, Danger Man & Ice Station Zebra are all the same guy. I've never seen this movie before, but it fits in great w/ my overall fan theory timeline. thanks for the upload
@ arachnonixon: you forgot Columbo. no, its very shortsighted. McGoohan played often inscrutable, ambiguous characters. a dork like you might think that everything is the same. so you see, it's only your immaturity.
I think the applause should go to the casting team for pitting together two of the most iconic thespians in cinema history - so perfectly matched, this was a gun duel long in the waiting and sure to occur... Danger Man - vs - The Colonel BRAVO Johny Cassettes. 👍👍👍
IVE JUST BEEN WATCHING DANGER MAN WAS BORN IN 68 SO MISSED ALL THE GOOD STUFF FIRST TIME ROUND CATCHING UP NOW THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY SUPERB GUTTED ITS FINISHED GREAT ENDING GLAD LEE VAN CLEEFE GOT DONE HIS LAUGH WAS REALLY PISSING ME OFF 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 THANKYOU FOR THIS MORE OF THE SAME PLEASE. ROGUE MALE IS NOT BAD ♥️🌈🙏
Watch the TV series, “Private Eye” starring Alfred Burke. Made in 1965. Still Available on YT and DVD. You’ll love it. It’s very English and very atmospheric, and made on a tiny budget.
when these actors do offbeat films like this then you see them at their best. meaning films which they do not usually get involved with. like edward fox in "the day of the jackal", sean connery in "the offence" and michael caine in "get carter". mcgoohan in this one. all were excellent character portrayals which stuck out in my mind above all their other film and theatrical performances.
Recognized Eno’s music immediately in the first scene… hes uncredited and I had no idea he did this! Really excited to watch the rest of this. McGoohan, van Cleef, and Eno… three of the greats!
well i'll be..i THOUGHT there was something ODD about those opening strains. brian eno no less; THIS is why the internet was invented-to share lovely bits. i had no idea any of eno's "MUSIC FOR FILMS" had ACTUALLY ever been USED in a film; & a patrick mcgoohan flick no less. cheers mate & THANK YOU!!!
That collapsible M1 Carbine "sniper" rifle in the opening scene was used in at least 3 other 1970's TV shows and movies. The Sweeney, The Professionals and another movie who's title escapes me right now. Must have been popular with the directors and props teams alike?
Danger man was one of my first tv heroes a super action hero. I was born 1958 . And what did we have on tv in the early sixties nothing like today. I noticed John bormans name mentioned in the making of this film. Love the voice of Lee van Cleef perfect for this movie
Turbo Saab in 79'. That's pretty cool. By this time, these vehicles were not cheap in the U.S. market. Not that anybody was looking to buy one., except for a specific brand of nerds and gear heads.
it was played down by the sneaky british government due to its potential association with IRA activity going on in ireland and england at the time. they did not want it to garner wider spread sympathy for the IRA's cause.
Very refreshing to see Patrick in a different role to that of Danger Man and the Prisoner. Found film a bit dark to watch (physically dark on my phone), but presumably this was done to create atmosphere. Scene with the fuse box to control lighting in rooms very clever - but how the voice telling him where to go to would work, I don't know. But in good watch in a gloomy atmospheric Ireland.
Tell me about it I'm 55 time just passes you by quicker than you think everyday I wake up is a blessing time is just a space between me and you hold onto yes while people say no life carries on tick tock the clock never stops enjoy what little you have left it's a case of having to
Liked this very much. Patrick McGoohan is, of course, always a favorite. Made more so by pairing with Lee Van Cleef for a most unusual result. The Eno score fits. No more, no less. I note the number of positive comments in support of the film.
Those old Pre 1900 stone buildings overlooking Dublin international airport taxiways offering vantage points for snipers, were the bane of police and high profile figures in the 1900's. Fortunately they have now been demolished.
excellent stuff. McGoohan really looks Irish here (which he was, of course, but often does not look it in various roles), and reminds me of my grandfather. one thing though - he really aged quickly. this is only 12 years after the prisoner, but looks more like 25 years after. not a criticism, just an observation. main thing though -very diginified, intelligent film.

I read that alcohol got the best of him in later years. He was a very private man with many demons as well as talents. I would have loved to delve into his brain to learn what made him tick. The drum solo in one of his movies was all Patrick, no stand in. He also played the violin (Himself) in Jamaica Inn. No doubt he was an. extraordinary man .
McGoohan was at one time Britains hghest paid TV actor due to his role in Danger Man. When the series ended it inspired him to write, direct and produce The Prisoner, a series way ahead of its time. But he had a problem, he couldn't think up a proper last episode. He confessed to Lew Grade who financed the project who told him he had to come up with something. The end result was loathed by most cult followers so much so Patrick fled to America where he teamed up with Peter Falk and starred in many Columbo episodes as well as directing them. I was so disappointed that Number One turned out to be a monkey in a lighthouse.
Number One wasn't the monkey. Behind the monkey mask was - himself. You cannot escape from your own ego is the message, if you want one. Still disappointing, though.

Excellent film that goes perfect with a bottle of single malt scotch. They do not make real films like this anymore. Thanks you.
Van Cleef and McGoohan are great together. What a shame this was the only film with the two together!
A low-profile but decent enjoyable film. Pat McGoohan is in his element whenever he plays the part of an introspective character like this.

One thing that I find amazing is that they both have distinctive voices. They both are well oiled in they're skill.
Their skill not they're( they are)!
Patrick McGoohan always tried to resign from jobs that wouldn't let him quit. That alone made him soo relatable to a lot of people.
Thanks for sharing this fantastic film.
'such a waste of a man' sums it up nicely
when these actors do offbeat films like this then you see them at their best. meaning films which they do not usually get involved with. like edward fox in "the day of the jackal", sean connery in "the offence" and michael caine in "get carter". mcgoohan in this one. all were excellent character portrayals which stuck out in my mind above all their other film and theatrical performances.

Number One wasn't the monkey. Behind the monkey mask was - himself. You cannot escape from your own ego is the message, if you want one. Still disappointing, though.
Patrick McGoohan.
That's all I needed to know.
Even if this movie sucks, McGoohan probably won't let me down.
Lee Van Cleef, a great actor with a distinctive laugh. RIP. Patrick McGoohan, always remembered for “The Prisoner.” RIP.
Great seeing van cleef and mcgoohan together shame not more roles back in the day!
Very good movie.Only a soldier understands...
Good movie. Loved it. Not my usual type of film but this was good acting.
This looks excellent- and in such good quality- thanks for posting
RIP Patrick McGoohan and Lee van Cleef, two of my faves
This movie was filmed around about 1978, which means Patrick was 50 years old at the time since he was born in 1928.
Fabulous film, stumbled on it by accident. So atmospheric.
Very very good. I really Enjoyed this.
Extremely good in Ice Station Zebra too
Just before his final performance, he was extra special as a wicked king in Braveheart! One of his best if not best!
He made Braveheart even better with his presence.
@@martinmcdonald4207 if it hadn’t been for him playing EDWARD THE 1 longshanks braveheart would have been a total failure and I’m Scottish
