I remember when The Saint was airing on TV but don’t think I saw a single episode. The show was produced in England by ITC and syndicated from 1963-66. It was picked up by NBC in the U.S. for three short seasons in 1967, ’68, and ’69. There was also a version that ran on CBS for one season (1979-1980) with Ian Ogilvy.
I have seen some of the Saint/Falcon film series from that were produced from 1938 to 1949. “The Falcon” a carbon copy of the Saint was created by RKO as a way to not have to pay royalties to the Saint’s author, Leslie Charteris. Charteris sued but lost. Of the 25 Saint/Falcon movies, either George Sanders or his real-life brother, Tom Conway, starred in all but four of them.
If I can find an hour between watching movies, I may see if I can’t rustle up some Roger Moore episodes, just to expand my Saint universe.
