The Saint

@grammatoncleric: I'm glad you share my opinion.
actually, I just copied it from my website - here is The Saint's page - http://www.mfbs.h1n.ru/zz-sant.html - there's a little more detail, if anything)) And not only about The Saint...

An elegant, noble criminal adventurer of the 60s, travels all over the world, expropriates rich criminals, exposes insidious villains, saves the defenseless, charms beauties, leaves the police with a nose, and himself with a modest reward and the immodest name "Saint".

Of course, now the plots seem naive, the fights are Indian, the scenery is primitive, and the picture quality is low. However, during this time, the series not only lost, but also acquired advantages. The types, the setting, the language, the fashion — all this has become a new highlight. A gallant and cheerful gentleman fights back against harsh and gloomy scoundrels in the real 1960s. Holiday. I've watched the last color seasons with unexpected pleasure, and I strongly advise you to try them, and they're a must-see for fans of Moore as James Bond. Quite a positive impression.

Simon Templar is an outstanding international criminal, whose talent, enterprise and skill ensure him a comfortable existence, luck, resourcefulness and self—control - no criminal record, determination, courage and dexterity — reputation, and style, manners and nobility — fame. All this, together with a fair amount of irony and wit, make him a very likeable and extremely successful main character.

The series is generally very competently made and is of interest as a milestone in the development of the series. In addition to the plot standard — adventures in interesting exotic locations, a standard was set for the ratio of price, quality and quantity of dynamic and fascinating episodes. It was shot economically, at no extra cost, at an outstanding pace (up to 2 episodes per week, and 118 in total!) and almost all in studio rooms, while the well-thought-out and expertly staged pavilion scenes, artfully combined with rare shots of real cities and other location shots, produced the effect of a very expensive film.

@7kozlov: Neither subtract nor add, everything is correctly said.
Of course, to us, spoiled in our time by multi-layered complex plots, the scenarios of the "Saint" will surely seem primitive, but it would seem that there is a simple plot in the pilot, and at the end of the series the heart breaks from empathy for the victim.
I take off my hat.

"You really are James Bond!"
No, it's clear that they beat Moore's missed opportunity to become the first Bond due to the contract for the series, but Aunt Wang is still, yes, yes.
