Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Dalbert Pringle This somewhat intense, action-oriented, British TV-Drama from the late-1960s was actually quite intriguing and entertaining, for the most part.Youthful, American actor, Richard Bradford plays the "Man In a Suitcase" character (aka. "Mac" McGill) who's a disgraced, former US intelligence agent now out on his own in the P.I. business.Setting up operations in London (and travelling all over Europe) - McGill is the dude who takes on the super-tough assignments that no one else can handle, tracking down the people that no one else can find.*Trivia note* - This TV series was inexplicably cancelled after just one season.
jamescallumburton Richard Bradford stars as ex-CIA agent McGill now working as a private eye based in London. There are not words to express simply how good this show is , the character is brilliantly complex and this gives the show an enhanced realistic feel to it. ITC action shows were always superior to the USA's action shows like Hawaii-five O , Kojak and S.W.A.T due to the fact all the characters were unique and all were played brilliantly by their lead actors. These shows included The Saint , Jason King , The Persuaders and The Baron. The only trouble with these shows was that all the characters despite their originality had one flaw and that was there simplicity . To a certain degree this was what also made them excellent characters but often left them too in control of events during the shows . Man In A Suitcase however makes McGill a cynical , hard boiled and yet sympathetic person who wrestles with the anger he feels inside for being betrayed by life and his own country. Often the episodes have bitter sweet endings unlike the typical "good guy always makes things great" ending. The episodes are all exciting and original including well written scripts that are rare to find in a TV series. This is partly due to Richard Bradford's development to the character. Man In A Suitcase is simply an amazing action show , possibly the best you'll ever see , if you are a fan of ITC watch it ... every episode ! if you just like crime and investigator shows this show is still the best , check it out.
vic-lelliott McGill has to be the coolest man on the planet. I love the way he takes a beating and looks like it was real and his Hillman is a car of beauty. Fantastic sixties feel to the series and he wears suits as sharp as a knife.After watching every single episode, the high standard is maintained throughout. I think this is because it was shot over a short period with strong casts and it is really interesting to see British actors at all sorts of stages in their careers.I think a lot of the tension in the series is to do with McGill being an American in England. He brings a breath of fresh air to the stilted English society.
Harun Musho'd Man in a suitcase follows the exploits of an American in London and Europe after her get kicked out of the CIA. I first came across this show on a day time TV run years ago and watched it expecting something cheesy. I was very pleasantly proved wrong and having been trying to buy or tape as many episodes as I could get my hand on ever since. Although produced by Lew Grade's ITC company, it shares little in common with stablemates such as "Champions", "DangerMan" or even "The Prisoner". What made it different was the quality of the plots, the acting (especially Richard Bradford's)and the way it managed to combine elements of glamour and gritty realism...oh, and the title music (although all ITC shows had good title music and sequences).An excellent series.
