Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
"Well, well, of all people to be rescued by--Simon Templar." From Berlin to Nice, our man Simon is always in the wrong place at the right time to get involved in "a bit of adventure." This two-disc set contains seven episodes presented in the order they were first broadcast in 1966 and '67. These entertaining adventures are "more cloak than dagger," but do have some vicariously nasty, Bond-type thrills. Roger Moore is ideally cast as the unflappable Simon, the original international man of mystery created by Leslie Charteris. Whether foiling a counterfeit operation ("The Counterfeit Countess") or masterminding the escape of a Russian spy ("When Spring Is Sprung"), Simon accepts each "extraordinary proposition" with aplomb. This collection also includes "Simon and Delilah," in which a "consistently nasty" screen siren is kidnapped. Lois Maxwell, best known to 007 fans as Miss Moneypenny, costars as the publicist. Speaking of James Bond, there's a nifty little Goldfinger joke in "The Island of Chance," in which the body count rises as an increasingly desperate scientist races to complete a serum that would end all illness. The cold war heats up in "The Gadget Lover," in which the Russians appear to have embarked on a spy "death campaign" using explosion-filled gadgets. "A Double in Diamonds" involves the theft of a priceless necklace. Which is real, and which is the fake? Only Simon may know for sure. Like "The Death Game" in Set 3, "The Power Artists" is bizarre enough to be an Avengers episode. It marks the return of criminal mastermind Adolf Vogler (see "The Death Game" in Set 3) and also includes some hysterical hippie caricatures. Appearing with greater frequency in these episodes is Ivor Dean as the Saint's long-suffering nemesis, Chief Inspector Claude Eustace Teale ("the pride of Scotland Yard") who reluctantly relies on the Saint's cunning to solve these complex capers. --Donald Liebenson

This 4th DVD set of The Saint adds another 7 episodes to the collection. The positive side of the set is that the picture quality is -as always with A&E- good and the fact that there are 7 instead of the usual 6 episodes on the two disc set. The negative side is the fact that the extras are rather disappointing as they are completely identical as the ones of set 1 and 2 except for the episode trailers. I hope this is not a sign that set 5 and 6 that will follow later this year, will be identical ... Read More

Every Hero has a following; on the 'Big' screen, Saltzman and
Broccoli made a fortune iterpreting Ian Fleming's 'Ernst Stavro
Blofeld's' seemingly endless but always foiled pursuits of Bond,
James Bond. On the other hand, we who 'follow' the adventures of
Simon Templar, are treated to a huge gang of 'Blofelds' in each different episode. Always good episodes, each one very entertaining.

There are all sorts of positive things to say about this series on DVD (good prints, clear picture) but I have problems with a number of the DVDs released on the A&E label, and this set is no exception.
For one thing, there are no subtitles. Generally, with The Saint that is not a problem - except when the music drowns out certain key dialogue, or an actor does not speak clearly (star Roger Moore is known for his lazy drawal), and of course there are often times when a character will ... Read More

Simon Templar, AKA the "Saint" is back, in the fourth boxed DVD set of his adventures from A&E. These episodes are from the 1967 season, and this time you get a bit more for your money, as there are seven episodes instead of six. Volume 7 has three episodes and Volume 8 contains the bonus fourth episode. Here's a quick take on the episodes in this set. These episode ratings are on a scale from one to five (best).
VOLUME 7:
The Counterfeit Countess (4)
In this tale, ... Read More
