Description
Tall, handsome & debonair, John Mannering (
Steve Forrest) is a man who knows the world & thrives on adventure through his business as an international art & antique dealer. It's a business that stirs greed, vanity & passions that propel him into exciting, danger-laden adventures stemming from the wares he handles & the people who buy, sell or steal precious treasures. To add to the excitement, THE BARON also assists British Intelligence, aided by the glamorous Cordelia (
Sue Lloyd) as they risk their lives on espionage missions for the head of Diplomatic Intelligence, John Alexander Templeton-Green (Colin Gordon). Made by the ITC (The Saint / Danger Man) & based on novelist John Creasey's jet set character, THE BARON was the first British drama series to be filmed in colour & utilised high profile American actor
Steve Forrest in the title character, with a roll call of future high-caliber guest stars including
