The first ITC series to be made in colour, The Baron is another of the exciting, cult television classics produced by the company throughout the 1960s. Antiques dealer John Mannering (known as The Baron) – played by Steve Forrest – along with his glamorous, sexy assistant Cordelia (Sue Lloyd), works in an informal capacity for the head of the British Diplomatic Intelligence – an informal agreement which invariably puts the jet-setting playboy in dangerous, life-or-death situations. Global espionage, bank robberies, and murder – it’s all in a day’s work for The Baron!
Based on the best-selling novels by John Creasey, The Baron is a rarely seen series cut from the same cloth as other quality ITC productions such as The Saint and Danger Man and features guest stars of the calibre of Bernard Lee, Peter Wyngarde, Sylvia Sims, Robert Hardy, Philip Madoc, Edward Woodward and Jeremy Brett throughout all thirty episodes.
Special Features
Bonus material on the DVD set includes an interview with Johnny Goodman and Sue Lloyd, a photo gallery, isolated music tracks, trailers fro the feature film version, on-set news footage from the Elstree Studios, PDFs of some script material and foreign title sequences.
