Product Description

1970's series resurrects '60's hero Simon 'The Saint' Templar and brings him up todate '70s style. The original '60's character from the books by Leslie Charteris was a suave, debonair, Volvo 1800-driving, polo-neck-wearing smoothie with a neat sideline in special agent-ism played by Roger Moore. The '70s version starred Ian Ogilvy- an equally quintessential English smoothie who drove a Jag XJS and sported the latest in funky '70s threads. The primary difference between the two was that Ogilvy's character operated mainly in mainland Europe in exotic destinations where Moore's had only dull old Blighty in which to operate. Episodes included: 'The Judas Game', 'The Nightmare Man', 'Duel In Venice', 'One Black September', 'The Village That Sold Its Soul', 'Assault Force', 'Yesterday's Hero', 'The Poppy Chain', 'The Arrangement', 'The Armageddon Alternative', 'The Imprudent Professor', 'Signal Stop', 'The Roman Touch', 'Tower Bridge Is Falling Down', 'The Debt Collectors', 'Collision Course: The Brave Goose', 'Collision Course: The Sixth Man', 'Hot Run', 'The Murder Cartel', 'The Obono Affair', 'Vicious Circle', 'Dragonseed', 'Appointment In Florence'and 'The Diplomat's Daughter'.

I was a big fan of the Return of the Saint as a teenager, used to watch it on CBS Late Movie. This program has not been shown on television for years now in the US and I was thrilled to find the complete collection. I fully understood (unlike many others) this DVD set is encoded for region 2. All you have to do is search for "change dvd region" on Google and change the DVD region on your computer DVD drive. The DVD's and the jewel box are are of good quality, the inner jacket has lots of information about the episodes.

I was glad to see this series made it to DVD. I discovered it while channel surfing late night in 1984 when I was 15. It was action-packed and the very attractive Ian Ogilvy made a great Simon Templar.

It's a UK region DVD which means I have to be creative in how I watch the DVDs. The series from is from the 70s, but Ian Ogilvy is cool, the Jaguar is cool and the series was shot on location. Too bad this series wasn't on longer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Templar. Simon Templar.
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2014
When this neglected series made it's debut in 1978, it was not treated kindly by either press or public. Which was a great shame, because I think the makers did a wonderful job of updating Leslie Charteris' character for the seventies, without losing the essence of the original. Also, Ian Ogilvy's interpretation of Simon Templar was far closer to the author than Roger Moore's. This aspect was totally lost on those critics and viewers whose only experience of The Saint was the Moore series and who had clearly never read any of the Charteris canon. Certain aspects of the original character were still toned down of course - this Saint never commited cold blooded murder of the bad guys and didn't carry knives - but Ogilvy came across convincingly as both a suave charmer and also as a very dangerous man to oppose. It did take a while to get used to seeing The Saint in denims instead of impeccably tailored suits, but this was part and parcel of updating the character for the contemporary era - and when he did wear suits, he looked fine.

The scripts were pretty decent, and they sometimes touched on darker, more adult themes than the Roger Moore series, just as the original Charteris stories had. Signal Stop, for instance, had rapists who photographed their crimes and The Arrangement had a villainess who was disturbingly psychotic. This was all handled tastefully for family audiences, of course, but it was harder edged than the earlier series had been.

If the series had a major fault, it was the preponderance of stories set in Italy at the expense of other countries, given that The Saint was meant to be a globe trotting adventurer. This was because it was a co-production with the Italian TV company RAI who insisted on Italian settings as part of the production deal. Suprisingly, not one single episode was set in the USA, the most crucial market for any TV series then and now. Another problem was the tiresome crackdown on TV violence at the time, which further diluted the series' impact and resulted in some rather silly looking fight scenes.

Those glitches aside, Return Of The Saint was a very well made updating of a popular character, professionally produced by all concerned and did not deserve the indifference shown to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I actually love the return of the saint
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2015
I actually love the return of the saint, story lines & the action are real good. I also love the way he wore denims & different jackets liked the fashion trends for its time honestly half to say bought the umbrella version that was released in 2004 DVD set noticed more people are buying the network version is it because there are more features or difference in the sound? I cant wait for a region 1 release by acorn media or someone this is a super cool version of the saint.

5.0 out of 5 stars Return of the Saint
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 31, 2011

The Saint is Simon Templar. He is a character from a series of books by Leslie Charteris. ITC had created a very successful TV series that ran from 1962-1969. It starred Roger Moore. Nine years later ITC were struggling. They were not as successful as they had been. They decided to revisit one of their most popular show formats, The Saint. Roger Moore was busy with James Bond so they brought in Ian Ogilvy to take the lead role of Simon Templar. Ian had a similar look to Roger and this helped to give the show an element of familiarity.
The Return of the Saint is a good addition to the ITC stock. It is in fact more of a re visualisation. There is no suggestion that this Simon Templar has the same memories as the one from the 1960s, he is about the same age as the earlier version as well so in fact this is an updated version.
This new version is similar in many ways. This regeneration still has the dashing and confident hero. And once again he goes all over the world. Beautiful women always surround him. He continues to help people out of difficult situations. Once again he has the white sports car. (Different model)
The Return of the Saint has been updated for the 1970s. It was well produced and is very entertaining. It is not as good as the original series but it is still a very good show.

4.0 out of 5 stars une excellente série, hélas dédaignée par les éditeurs français.

Pour les fans du Saint, la série incontournable, c'est bien sûr celle tournée en 1962/69 par ROGER MOORE. Mais cette version des années 70 a également beaucoup de charme. Bonnes histoires, bonne distribution, production soignée ... pourquoi les éditeurs français ne distribuent pas cette série, dans l'hexagone... mystère...
Attention, pour visionner ce coffret, il est indispensable d'avoir des connaissances en anglais car les DVD n'ont aucun sous-titre
