The fiction makers

Adventurer Templar, known for cocking his eye upwards at his animated halo, agrees to do a favour for a publisher friend (Peter Ashmore) to look after best-selling thriller writer Amos Klein - who writes macho Ian Fleming-type books but is actually scatty, cute, short-sighted Sylvia Sims, who is being targeted by criminals who want their expertise to pull off an impossible crime.

A wacky, spoof of the James Bond franchise, this a fun two-part series made into a feature film which benefits from its two stars - Roger Moore and Sylvia Sims. Their interactions is what makes this all so enjoyable. The Saint regular Justine Lord is beautiful as ever. It's a nice way to pass the time, even though the wackiness can be tiring at times.

Trivia
The Leicester Square Odeon premiere of Amos Klein's latest Charles Lake film "Sunburst Five" features in Frug's copy of "Screen Album", where it states that Roy Baker is the movie's director. This is an in-joke, as in reality, Roy Ward Baker directed this movie. The article notes his filmography includes The Queen's Ransom (1966), which itself is the title of one of Baker's many directing jobs on the third season of the series.

Quotes
Simon Templar: Screeen fights are all the same and not difficult to outguess. A couple of haymakers, followed up by a flying hip throw. Karate chop to the neck, the midriff, another to the neck and into the bath. Turn on the shower. Back into the bath. Turn on the shower. Mechanical horse. It must there for some reason. That leaves us with the mirror. Just as planned. Dialogue.
