The Saint 1962

Overview

The Saint is a television series that aired from 1962 to 1969. The program features the character Simon Templar, who is portrayed by actor Roger Moore. Templar is described as a handsome, sophisticated, and debonair wealthy adventurer. He is often characterized as a modern-day Robin Hood who travels around the world in his yellow Volvo P1800. Throughout the series, Templar uses his skills to fight crime, assist damsels in distress, and recover ill-gotten wealth to redistribute it to those in need. The production also features cast members Ivor Dean, Leslie Crawford, and Terence Mountain. While the term saint is often defined in religious contexts as a person recognized for holiness or a special relationship to the sacred, this series focuses on the fictional exploits of Templar. The show documents his efforts to out-swindle various adversaries while maintaining his reputation as a mysterious and helpful figure. The series ran for several years, following Templar as he moves through different locations to pursue his goals of justice and adventure.
