While holidaying in Jamaica, a young American couple, Tommy and Cathy make the acquaintance of a smartly dressed, unusual man Carlos, The Man from the South.
It's wonderful to hear that amazing opening music, an iconic theme.
The Man from the South is a solid opener I'd say, it's far from my favourite story, but it does boast some good elements, the fact that it was entirely filmed out in Jamaica adds to the appearance, no dodgy set designs in Britain. I love the performance of Jose Ferrer in particular, he's so creepy and yet so matter of fact about his wager. Cyril Luckham is well cast, so often cast as the villain as the peace, it's great to see him as a sympathetic character.
It's good, but when you compare it to some of the awesome episodes to come it's just that, good. 6/10
