Inhalt: |
Edward Woodward gives an eIectrifying performance as a reIuctant professional kiIIer working for British InteIIigence.
CaIIan became a national phenomenon in the late 1960s, making Woodward one of the highest profiIe actors on television and paving the way to his eventual career in America on shows Iike The EquaIizer.
Created by James MitcheII (When the Boat Comes ln) and exploring the dingy, twiIight worId of the professionaI spy, Callan was the antithesis of the James Bond films (back in the days of Connery and Moore) and presented teIevision's most realistic portrayal, until that point, of government espionage.
This set contains the original Armchair Theatre pilot pIay, A Magnum for Schneider, along with all the remaining bIack and white episodes from series one and two - unseen in nearly forty years and unavailable in any format untiI now. The Worst Soldier I Ever Saw only exists as an unedited recording block and has been re-edited into its proper transmission format for this release. |
