Also dead this week was Patrick McGoohan
Obviously, he will be best remebered for The Prisoner. I got the DVDs a couple of years ago-it is still a really good series.
This wasn't all he did, though. Most of the coverage of the death has mentioned Braveheart, which he was good in.
One that is missed however, was a film he made for Disney. The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh aka Dr Syn. I don't remeber much about it except that it was set in England and had McGoohan as a priest(?) by day and a highwayman with a sack over his head at night.
I'll have to try and find it.

Ah now, Patrick McGoohan was the Prisoner which I will always associate with late night TV in my first year of university - this was a line up that included Survivors and Night Gallery.
ReplyDeleteMcGoohan had style and that went beyond clothes. He needed that to fit with Portmeirion which I was lucky enough to visit last year. Magical place. Magical series.
