By that time an action-adventure series of that type had to look expensive and spectacular and yes, the exotic locations were a must.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833699981210036110.post-22259987336305288312021-12-12T11:37:22.498-08:002021-12-12T11:37:22.498-08:00Return of the Saint was a beautifully made series...Return of the Saint was a beautifully made series with exotic locations. Ian Ogilvy was a brillant leading man and an ideal replacement failing Roger Moore. Its a shame it did not go to a second series big mistake.<br />Ian once suggested a second series could be easily filmed in the UK. I am afraid l don't agree l sincerely believe the foreign locations added to the success of the series.<br />My personal criticism is levelled at two factors the first being his dress and secondly the fight sequences which sadly let it down. The fashion was far too trendy for The Saint but l have to say would have worked in the guise of the Son of the Saint.<br />The fight sequences would have been better excluded completely or made more gritty. Obviously done to satisfy American audiences and the television standards authorities. However since Roger and Ian no one has ever come near their success in bringing this fictional character to the small screen.
