Quotes
Simon Templar: [narrating during a game of squash] It's a hard game, a gruelling test of speed, skill and stamina. It sharpens the reflexes, toughens the body, quickens the killer instinct. Sometimes it pits brute power against the cutting edge of a ruthless, patient strategy. To me it's more than a game. It's a fast, devious training ground for the kind of life I lead. Besides, it helps me keep my weight down.

The Saint and his con game

A mildly entertaining episode with the Saint tackling a unscrupulous crook, who is responsible for the death of a fellow partner, and does so by using his wily brains via conning him. John Woodvine, who plays the villain, is excellent, and his hard nosed character adds the tension to the proceedings. Not a standout episode, but it has some good moments of suspense and that saintly charm.
