Waste of time

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Best movie ever!

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I like the adventures of the Saint. He's so gentle with everyone, great sense of humor... Roger Moore was and will always be Simon Templar. He personified the role so greatly that now we recognize his style in James Bond or any other films.I hope that they'll sell the series on DVD... here in Canada we haven't it yet...Simon traveled a lot so we know that he's a globetrotter. He fights for his life everytime, almost killing himself in perilous situations. He hasn't any family, lots of friends around the world at least. One question that I'm asking after reading the books, who are great too... who's Patricia???? We never saw her in any of the episodes.

Yes, viewing The Saint on BBC America the other day reawakened some old memories I've carried most of my life. Growing up in a lower middle class American home in the 1960s, I watched Simon Templar and the glamor and intrigue of The Saint fed my vision of the wider world. Later in life, my work enabled me to live in many of the locales pictured in the series. Alas, real life wasn't quite as adventurous as what they depicted on television. Nevertheless, that lost world of the Sixties still reigned in my imagination, where, before air travel resembled travelling in a cattle car, jetting around the globe was a BIG DEAL reserved for the truly rich and adventurous.No, nothing was as fun as The Saint, which gloried in the sort of stereotypes our cultural commissars would never allow on screen today. The Germans are strutting martinets, the French incompetent peacocks, the Italians buffoonish hysterics, the Scots haggis-eating grumps, the Dutch commercial opportunists, the Swiss a bunch of greedy gnomes, the Russians paranoid oafs, the Irish a lot of work shy sots, and the Americans growling chain-smokers.And what a juxtaposition of settings! How many episodes did I watch Simon flee from a brilliantly lit casino or restaurant down the back-streets of London, Hamburg, or Amsterdam to some dank cellar! Or how many times did he escape some luxurious villa or penthouse through the canals of Venice or avenues of Paris or Geneva to some decrepit warehouse! All with a potpourri of travelogue shots of the great cities of Europe and South America! Great TV.And my favorite episode? "The Death Game", where Simon and some British university students, with just a touch of Swingin' London-a-Go-Go, encounter the Assassination Bureau.

During the 1960's, there were two imports that represented everything that is sophisticated and elegant in British TV: The Avengers and The Saint. The Saint is not as well known as The Avengers, but it should be. The Saint, Simon Templar, played to perfection by Roger Moore, is the hero of many mystery novels by Leslie Charteris. Roger Moore's Simon Templar is charming, suave, sexy and smart. Simon is less cynical and more caring than James Bond and relies on his wits rather gadgets to get himself out of trouble. He is a semi-reformed thief who uses his burglar skills to outwit rich and powerful evil doers and rescue the innocent. If you have the chance, please see The Saint. If you liked The Avengers, you will not be disappointed.

It's been a lot of episodes I've watched. Even if I remembered better Roger Moore as 007 after Sean Connery, I prefer him as Simon Templar, debonnaire ex-con who works discreetly with the law (with a sometimes suspicious, but cooperative Inspector Claude Teal) and gets justice his way. Most of the times he arrives in some situations in which he accidentally gets involved. The ladies who shared the screen with him at the time were mostly good looking, even if they were villains...What I like about the Saint is that he has class, even in the worst situations, and can defend himself...And at the end, gets 10% of the loot...for himself, so he can go to the next Crusade, to another Damsel in distress or a sticky situation in which only the Saint can solve...A great cult series...
