This spy drama took place during World War II, when American agent David March sought information from the German Army and bought it back to the United States.
David March is a traitor in World War II, an American who has gone to Germany to do propaganda work for the Nazis. Or so it seems. In fact, he is a double-agent for the Allies playing a very dangerous game indeed...moreless
Although one might legitimately wonder if series creator Larry Cohen had ever read Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Mother Night" (published in 1962), which has a similar situation, this was a strikingly different sort of secret-agent TV series, and, in its inversions of convention, quite typical of Cohen. He also invented "Branded", about a Civil War officer falsely convicted of cowardice and unable to clear his name, and "Coronet Blue", about an amnesiac spy trying to find about his life - the twist being that he's actually a Russian spy, not an American one. (No wonder that show got cancelled quickly.) Robert Goulet was rather a lightweight for the role of March, but there were lots of good actors in supporting roles. Three episodes were bundled together to make a feature film in the UK, under the title "I Deal In Danger" - rather oddly, as the series got shown in Britain anyway.moreless
