Miscellaneous:
Based on the television show, starring
Robert Moore (better known for his roles as the third James Bond).
According to the film, the Saint's
name was based on Simon Mangus, a magician who tried to buy the Holy Ghost
in the New Testament, and the Knights Templar, a sacred order of knights
from the Dark Ages.
MPAA Rating:
PG-13 Some adult
situations, violence.
My Rating:
It's a good effort. I enjoyed
Mission:Impossible better, but the costume and makeup department had a
ton of fun with the different identities the script called for. The
best is a bumbling professor who is losing his hair.
