ANYONE IN IT WE KNOW?

Roger Moore, Peter Wyngarde

WHAT’S IT ABOUT THEN?

With this release Umbrella bring to a close their magnificent set of releases of every episode of Roger Moore starring The Saint, this six disc set takes us from from episode 96 and right up to the final episode 118. Now being filmed in colour and heading into the heady days of the late sixties Simon Templar is still doing what he does best, saving damsels in distress and gadding about all over the place to any number of studio back-lots made up to look like a glossy European locale. 

As always a huge amount of care has been taken with the presentation of the set, these box sets look like DVD Box sets are supposed to look like in our opinion, uniform (not changing their mind every five minutes like some companies we could mention), Umbrella's Grant Taylor deserves singling out for his expansive and always illuminating sleeve notes and as always the level of extras put together is breathtaking, the Saint was always one of the better Lew Grade series, mainly down to the comfortable playing of Roger Moore, always ready with a twinkle in his eye to save the day. 

This set also includes the two theatrical features put together from Saint Episodes, they were The Fiction Makers and Vendetta For The Saint - these have been very seldom seen over the years so its great to have them uncut and remastered. If you have even the slightest passing interest in the Golden age of Television then you will know that the Saint releases have to be marked down as essential.

ANY SPECIAL FEATURES?

Absolutely stacks of bonus featured on each disc in this six disc collection; first up are audio commentaries on the episodes The Ex-King of Diamonds and Vendetta For the Saint by Roger Moore and Robert S. Baker; There's another of the great insert reprints, this time its the publicity brochure for Vendetta For The Saint; There are original episode trailers and theatrical trailers for the two movies; An introduction to the episode The Gadic Collection by guest star and fellow ITC Alumni Peter Wyngarde and a look at assorted memorabilia and PDF files of original scripts; All of the episodes themselves come complete with the original commercial break bumpers. A must have collection!!
