The Prisoner (1967)
The Prisoner seems to be John Drake
One more clue that John Drake and the Prisoner are the same person can be found by looking at the license plate of his car. In one episode of the Prisoner he is shown back at his house and someone else is driving his car. The license plate number is KAR 120C. That same license plate number is on a car he is driving in an episode of Danger Man. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact episode of Danger Man (or rather Secret Agent) that shows him driving a car with that particular license plate number but I saw it one night and it hit me that it was the same number as the one on the car in the episode of the Prisoner. It adds more weight to him actually being John Drake.
The Hard Man (1957)
A Good Western
This is a better western than some made in the 50's. Guy Madison is good as the reluctant fast gun. Lorne Greene (pre-Bonanza) is excellent as a thoroughly ruthless land baron. Valerie French is pretty. Myron Healy who has been in countless pictures is not even credited but is the reason for Guy Madison to go to the town where Lorne Greene is the boss. Madison does a good job of showing how a lawman can sometimes be as ruthless as the outlaws if not careful. He is forced to kill his friend and then finds out the friend may have been framed as a killer. He rides to the town where his friend committed the crime and runs into a lot of road blocks (most notably Lorne Greene's character) as well as a beautiful woman that he is not sure of.
