The color episodes of The Saint and Danger Man aren’t as good as the black and white ones.

White and shadow is easier to work with, you can spend more time thinking about things like plot, camera angle and lighting.

Not sure any of that is important today since you need color for product placement.

The same is true with Combat.

The color episodes broke the verisimilitude for me. The black and white episodes felt like all the old WWII movies, but the color episodes made it look like the show was filmed on a back lot (which it was).

“The color episodes of The Saint and Danger Man aren’t as good as the black and white ones.”

For some reason you just reminded me of The Prisoner with Patrick Goohan. Great series.

Thanks!

Same with the Dianna Rigg episodes of The Avengers. The black/white episodes are smarter. Emma seems more capable and professional. The color episodes themselves are more fantastic and weird. And Emma a bit whimsical and silly. Steed changed some, too, and in the same way. But overall acted more like the expected smooth secret agent.
