    Tough talk by Pat

    The fine movie director Seth Holt efficiently piloted this minor episode, notable for a well-done scene aboard a cable car (at a ski resort). Pat reads the riot act to co-star Christopher Rhodes, and for once McGoohan's dialogue delivery is extremely forceful, rather than the cutesy sort-of sarcastic approach he usually adopts in this series.

    There's quality suspense later in the segment, but writer Jack Whittingham (whose career later peaked with "Thunderball") has much of the episode's story ending up crammed into voice-over narration over the final shot.

    Moira Redmond is an appealing female lead, while Hermione Baddeley offers comic relief.

      In the very beginning, you can see a square that is supposed to be in Zurich (that's what it is written on screen) but in fact it is the "Grand Place of Brussels" in Belgium.

      John Drake: What is this place?

      Driver: It's the Sea Hotel. It runs down to the lake.

      John Drake: Is it a nice hotel?

      Driver: Well, if you like that sort of thing. Full of rich people lying around, eating and drinking.

      John Drake: Oh, I think I can take it.
