    • Trivia
      Although the release date of this feature length version was December 1968, the fashions and style suggest that it was filmed a lot earlier. The title sequence indeed shows a copyright year of 1966, indicating that this was filmed during the period of the first colour series of The Saint. However, the two part episode of The Saint that made up this feature length version, was not aired until the latter part of the final season. In the rest of those episodes for that final series, Roger Moore's hair is noticeably longer, darker and with longer sideburns.

    Thoroughly enjoyable spy spoof
    Loved this film. It was just another title in a full boxed set of the entire Saint series, but from the moment the opening music began, I knew this was something more than just another Saint episode. Obviously made for theatrical release, the excellent production values and especially the lush musical score made this a real treat. Moore and Syms show off their comical side as the plot spoofs it's way through a Goldfinger inspired heist caper. Just the surprise I needed during the Covid lockdown at home!
