'The Prisoner' on Blu-ray: Can You Handle It?
— dvdspindoctor.typepad.com — The '60s spy series "The Prisoner" feels more relevant than ever ... and yet remains very much a product of its time -- 1966-1967, the glory days of psychedelia and paranoia. On Blu-ray, the op art/pop art imagery leaps from the screen. This is by far the best rendition of a '60s TV series. 'The Prisoner' on Blu-ray: Can You Handle It?
