Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Roger Moore starred as novelist Leslie Charteris's globe-trotting, mercenary adventurer Simon Templar in a 1963-67 television series, as well as the subsequent, agreeable TV feature Vendetta for the Saint. Set against an appealingly sunny Sicilian backdrop, Vendetta finds Templar, an elegant thief and ethical busybody, outraged when a British banker is murdered after he recognizes an old colleague-turned-Mafia kingpin. The ruthless crime boss, Alessandro Destamio (Ian Hendry), having faked his death during a staged bank robbery, makes several attempts on Templar's life while the latter probes the villain's business and family. (Of course, being Templar, he also dates Destamio's innocent niece and shares a kiss with the bad guy's beleagured mistress.) Vendetta for the Saint is full of small pleasures, including a nice supporting role by Marco Ponti as a police detective who confides in Templar, and Aimi MacDonald as a lost soul trying to escape Destamio's reach. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - An avenging Saint . . .
Vendetta for the Saint, published in 1963 was Leslie Charteris's last full length Saint novel. The story was featured as a two-part episode of "The Saint" TV program in 1969. Starring Roger Moore as Simon Templar, the programs were repackaged as a feature, with additional music and opening credits added. Edwin Astley's opening theme is one of his best musical creations for the Saint.
