In this 1960 series made by the Danziger Brothers, starring as Inspector Anthony Smith was Richard Wyler (born England 1924 also acting as Richard Stapley).
Man from Interpol has a period charm with even the most hardened criminals almost genteel in their language.
It had the distinction of being the first British series since 'Robin Hood' to be networked in America. Sadly it quickly flopped. Not surprising as it's really a kind of B movie for telly. It was never a success in Britain either as Associated Rediffusion bought it up only to show it to insomniacs. After lying dormant for over 25 years, satellite channel Bravo bought some bootleg copies and showed most of the series numerous times from 1989 to 1996. Since then Man from Interpol has dropped back into forgotten obscurity.
My favourite episode: 6 Escape Route- a wonderful part for James Hayter
Best moment: 14 I like the simple opening location scene in Death via Parcel Post- effective, peaceful and yet it has slightly sinister overtones
Best acting: Peter Vaughan in 17 Killer with a Long Arm. It proves there really is good acting in Danziger series!
Funniest moment: Unintentional, but in 20 Last Words, the improbable searching for a clue that has been overlooked is appallingly executed
Dud episode: 37 Child of Eve, not Lisa Daniely's finest hour- tho' it's not her fault the script is so poor
