Synopsis Of The Show
-------------------------
The adventures of Simon Templar, aka the Saint, a
modern-day Robin Hood who raised hell with his adversaries, rescued damsels
in distress with a twinkle in his eye, and found himself involved in hair-
raising adventures that took him all over the world. Known as the Saint,
because of his initials, S.T., (and because he always helped those in need),
Templar's zest for adventure lead him into many dangerous situations from
which he always emerged triumphant - usually with a pretty girl at his side.
Background Info
-------------------
Certainly one of the most sucessfull series of its
kind, "The Saint" was a case of its leading actor fitting the role like a
glove. Although the Saint had been around for many years previously, having
been portrayed in a number of films in the late 30s early 40s, by such stars
such as "George Sanders," it was'nt until "Roger Moore" was handed the role
that the character took on a new dimension. Such was Moore's performance as
Simon Templar, that afterwards it was difficult to see any other actor in the
part, hence the faliure of the 1977 series, "The Return of the Saint," which
starred "Ian Ogilvy". Indeed, even today, the role that is mainly indentified
with Roger Moore is Simon Templar, The Saint, even after an excellent run as
"James Bond" in the 70s and 80s. Moore eventually went on to own the rights
to the series and many of the programs reflected this, with him directing
some episodes. The series contained more than its share of fisticuffs and for
the first 71 adventures stuck closely to the stories of Templar's creator,
Leslie Chateris, which were adapted for the series. Thereafter the plots
became a little more wilder, but still always entertaining. With world sales
estimated to have passed the £370-million mark, the production company (not
to mention Roger Moore, with the rights to the series) must be well satisfied
with the end result.
