Technology and interiors from Ice Station Zebra (1968)

So someone had this cold-blooded whisky-soaked teddy bear McGoohan to work with and they didn't just go ahead and deconstruct the whole spy genre? Instead they filmed a lot of guys going somewhere looking for something that none of them (except McGoohan) seemed to care about? I can barely make ten gifs because who on set could possibly notice that the whole thing (and by that I also mean every wet blanket in that submarine) was just waiting for the next McGoohan scene?!

Shameless plug time. I have several novels spawned by McGoohan characters. The Twisting Time trilogy was dreamed up after watching Ice Station Zebra and imagining a love story for David Jones after the ISZ situation ended.

Machine Gun Eyes is imagining a non-murderous and devilishly sexy Nelson Brenner going up against a modern day Dr Syn in a love triangle.

Loyalty and Love is John Drake in love. The novella “Cryptographer’s Romance (which originally had a sad ending but they made me change it to a happy one), is a fun one — John Drake dealing with an aggressive young crush.

You can find all these in ebook at eXtasybooks.com, or at my author page at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Luann+Lewis+author (although they sneak some books in there that have nothing to do with me 🫤), or through my website links: www.frommindtopen.com

Of course, I had a fan fiction labor of love that followed John Drake from a love affair into The Village as Number 6 which still exists somewhere out there in Archive of Our Own I think, and a story about the love of John Kingsley (Kings and Desperate Men) — not the best movie, but a wonderfully complex character — also fanfiction, but I’m hoping to turn that one into a novel some day.

So, that’s the commercial interruption, now we can get back to the dazzling entertainment—photos of Mr. McGoohan. ❤️❤️❤️

i know that many polish people had to americanize their surnames when they came to the usa but sooo many times when watching movies i've seen them give characters "polish" surnames that don't even have hints of being an actual polish surname

[farmerbebop]

I really don't know much about spy stuffs but the fact that there's no record of McGoohan ever saying "Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was written." still surprises me, LOL.

And I don't know anything about guns so please excuse me if this lousy photoshopping is lousier than usual.

[tedhead]

just binged your thoughts 10/10

I was bound to end up obsessing over rock Hudson at some point you just gave me that final kick 🙈

What movies should I watch with him in ??!

i'm glad i could help you on your journey :^)

giant (1956)

all that heaven allows (1955)

seconds (1966)

come september (1961)

ice station zebra (1968)

these five are always on my mind but i also highly recommend the other sirk collaborations like captain lightfoot or written on the wind, his campy or violent movies in the 70s, the mirror crack’d from the 80s, and any of the day/hudson vehicles. also im watching mcmillan & wife rn and enjoying it if you wanted a tv show!
