Patrick McGoohan, 1928-2009

Share
Its a bad day for distinguished older gentlemen, isn't it?
Otherwise known as #6 in the cult English series The Prisoner, actor Patrick McGoohan came up with the series concept of a dashing British spy (is there any other kind?) imprisoned in a mock village controlled by persons unknown. #6 always cut a dashing figure in slim cut suits and this fab contrast-trimmed jacket with corsage number pin. Very Thom Browne, right?

If you've never had a peek at the over-the-top stylish restraint of The Prisoner, watch this clip and you'll understand what that means.
