Hi, Patrick, as I recall, the Hawkins film of Gideon was distinctly better than the TV series , which, though enjoyable, was limited (in my view) by the need to fit into a sixties-TV-entertainment format. I felt the same about 'Danger Man' and I think Pat McGoohan did too, which was why he wanted to make 'The Prisoner'.

Did you recommend it to me or did we each find it independently?
Either way, loved it!
PS welcome PatrickMurtha!"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

I would like to see the film, certainly, not least because it’s John Ford! But I do find the series satisfying and nostalgia-provoking.
