On DVD: Vendetta For The Saint (1969)

During the final season of The Saint, the series adapted Leslie Charteris & Harry Harrison's 1964 novel, Vendetta For The Saint (credited solely to Charteris, but ghost-written for the most part by Harrison), into a 2-part episode, which was later molded together into a feature film, and, as such, can not only be found in a DVD compilation of the series itself, but as a stand-alone DVD.

Simon Templar (Roger Moore) is on vacation in Italy when he witnesses a confrontation between two men, and thus is thrust into a war with the Mafia. Here's the trailer:



Ironically, Ian Hendry would later succeed Moore as Templar in Return of the Saint a few years later.

Rating: B.
