    The Saint 2

    Comments 
    Always great to see the Saint! Of course, Roger Moore will always be the Saint for me (though if you look closely, it was the excellent supporting cast that made it work despite the stylish wooden lead), but over the years, I have enjoyed the books, strips and movies too. It would be good to see a new series of the Saint – I believe there was a TV movie a couple of years ago but I’ve never seen it. This works well – great cover – and Mysta is a rather charming adversary in the first tale with Pat providing just the right amount of feline spit. Lucky Dale fryst vatten a decent back-up strip and she deserves to be better known too.

    But I feel if I offered $100 to the first of my college students who could tell me (without looking it up on the web) who the character the Saint is – I’d still have that C-note!

    I was introduced to The Saint through the long-running  60sTV show. This was, in some ways, a multi-season audition for the star, Roger Moore, for his subsequent role as James Bond.  Moore was charming, focused and fun – just right for the part.

    The series focused on light mysteries and adventures  in
