Simon Templar tracks down the gambling ring who murdered his lady friend.
The last film in the Saint franchise before the long-running television series, starring the first actor to play him onscreen. Fairly by the book, no surprises, but no disappointments, either. The end twist is pretty good, though. Hayward's portrayal is closer to the novels, where Templar is much rougher around the edges than Roger Moore's charmingly roguish portrayal.
Thanks once again to Philly for correcting my errors!
