Mastering Disguises with The Saint

The 90s were filled with attempts at adapting classic TV shows and stories to capitalize on any existing IP that could be found. In 1997, Simon Templar got his blockbuster break. With a history of movie adaptations, a 60s TV show with Roger Moore, and a litany of books to source from, what could possibly go wrong?

The Saint is a world-renowned thief and master of disguise, and he carries quite a bit of baggage. When Templar gets mixed up with the wrong job, he must decide between the girl or the money.

We’re talking all about franchise adaptations, geopolitics, psychoanalysis, and more as we bring The Saint to the analysis table.
