Notes on Patrick McGoohan

"Film's biggest acting asset is McGoohan, who gives his scenes that elusive 'star' magnetism, a portent of a brilliant career ahead in international filmmaking. In looks and dashing manner not unlike Louis Hayward, and in delivery and inflection reminiscent of the late Charles Laughton. McGoohan is a most accomplished actor with a three-dimensional presence all his own." - from the review of "Ice Station Zebra" in the Daily Variety, Oct. 23, 1968
