The Saint (TV Series)
TV Series (1962-1969)
Starring:
Roger Moore (Simon Templar)
Ivor Dean (Inspector Claud Eustace Teal)
Leslie Crawford (Chauffer)
Justine Lord (Galaxy Rose)
Ricardo Montez (Carlos Segoia)
Suzanne Lloyd (Claudia Molinelli)
The Saint is a modern day Robin Hood of sorts. He steals from rich criminals (gangsters and the like) and keeps the loot for himself. And he usually manages to get the rich criminals put behind bars after he's stolen their goods. Of course, Chief Inspector Claude Eustace Teal regards him as a common thief, regardless of who he steals from, so the Saint must always stay one step ahead of the doggedly persistent Inspector Teal. Fortunately, his wit, charm, and savoir faire make this a fairly easy task, and the series chronicles his various exploits.
