- IMDb: link
Throwback Thursday takes us back into the Cold War spycraft of Danger Man. John Drake (Patrick McGoohan) heads to Victoria Bassaland in Africa where an exiled leader is stirring up riots and protest by framing the government for the death of his wife’s (Barbara Chilcott) uncle. Posing as a gun runner, Drake is able to get an audience with Saul Khano (William Marshall) and turn the man’s conflicted wife against her husband. “Deadlline” is notable for the large Black cast and the villain getting the drop on our hero who only survives his time in Africa thanks to the timely intervention of the man’s wife.
