5.0 out of 5 stars Super Saint, 26 May 2001
By A Customer
When director Guy Hamilton took the helm of the film Goldfinger in 1964 he is reputed to have said he didn't want to make a Bond film so much as a "Super Saint" episode. It's easy to see why; the first two Bond films, and indeed the books that series is derived from, are spactacularly humourless affairs when compared with Leslie Charteris's halo-wearing hero Simon Templar. Roger Moore, Fleming and Broccoli's original choice for the role of Bond, simply shines as the witty, debonair and sophisticated Simon Templar. In the first series he carries a mid-transatlantic accent that did not last for the show's seven-year run, but otherwise he is the smooth urbane Templar to a 'T'. There are differences between Moore's Saint and the character of the books -- unlike Charteris's hero, and those of earlier impersonators such as George Sanders and Louis Hayward, Moore's Saint won't stoop to the occasional murder (interestingly, neither would Ian Ogilvy, Simon Dutton or Val Kilmer's Saints --all co-produced by Roberk S Baker). The episodes of this first series are drawn from a series of short stories written by Charteris between the 1930s and the 50s. They have barely even been updated in most cases, and show the author's preoccupation with natural justice, pretty woman and the good things in life. Later on, the series would move away from Charteris's stories and his conception of the character. These early episodes are really modern morality tales, spiced with adventure and humour. In some of them (The Pearl's of Peace) the Saint is little more than an observer, while others are full-blown two-fisted adventures. One of the joys of the series first-time around was not knowing what you were going to get from week to week. Although the TV series's weekly format (not too different from the Saint radio shows of the 1940s and 50s with Vincent Price et al) seems a little dated now, it was fresh and daring in the 1960s. It's not surprising Hamilton felt inspired by it. It's pity that few home-grown TV adventure series are made in the UK now, but at least these DVDs afford us a glimpse of what was. Despite slight extras (shots of old publicity material with improved text for example), these DVDs are well worth the money for Saint fans and budding TV historians.
