The Electric Horseman (1979) Secretariat (2010) War Horse (2011) Ride Like a Girl (2019)

Thank you, Peebs! And thanks also for calling the program Danger Man; it was called Secret Agent after it jumped the pond. I mixed my metaphors, so to speak! I don't have one in mind right now, so I'll leave the thread open....

Candice Bergen -- Cie, Polaroid, Sprint, might be other products as well Next: actor or actress with ties to the music business

The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) -- on the run from Union soldiers who killed his family Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) -- Harmonica hunts the man who killed his brother Cape Fear (1962) -- an ex-con stalks the lawyer who put him away Sudden Impact (1983) -- years later, a woman exacts revenge on the men who raped her and her sister Carrie (1976) -- she gets everyone who ever humiliated her I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988) -- a man seeks revenge on Mr. Big for the death of his brother and for getting the neighborhood hooked on gold chains The Quick and the Dead (1995) -- a gunfighter returns to a frontier town to avenge her father's death

It is my understanding that The Prisoner (1967-1968) is a spin-off of Secret Agent (1964-1967). So say some, while others are unsure. When Number 6 (McGoohan as the Prisoner) is revealed as a retired spy, many viewers believed (or assumed, or hoped, or whatever you like) that the character was indeed Secret Agent John Drake. I've not yet viewed any of the episodes, but I've read a few articles about The Prisoner, and I suspect the one-season run was a result of its avant garde, Orwellian vagaries. I also seem to remember reading that the idea for The Prisoner came from McGoohan; is that accurate?

Senorita from the West (1945) Next: Girl on the Spot (1946) -- two more with Fuzzy Knight

Is it The Champions (1968-1969) with Stuart Damon (who died just this year) as Craig Stirling? Looking through the cast list, I see lots and lots of actors who were in Bond films. I know Carrie Underwood has a song called "The Champion" -- note, no s -- but I don't follow contemporary country music, so I couldn't hum the tune if my life depended on it.

The Buccaneer (1938) Next: Last of the Buccaneers (1950) -- two more during the War of 1812

the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968). Terrifying!

O'Henry's Full House (1952) is my favorite at Christmastime. This anthology film, introduced by John Steinbeck, is comprised of a quintet of stories from O'Henry. My favorite of the five is "The Last Leaf". Makes my cry every. single. time.

Couldn't help but think of these TV episodes: "Eye of the Beholder" from The Twilight Zone (1959) "Operation Noselift" from M*A*S*H (1974) "The Nose Job" from Seinfeld (1991)

For me, the level of restraint Fonda breathes into Frank in Once Upon a Time in the West is the key to his "evil". We plainly can see the menace in a character when he is portrayed with broad smile or celebratory dialogue upon performing some heinous act, but it is Frank's quietude with his bad deeds that makes him truly scary.
