The Saint: Is Heard

By: Leslie Charteris, Original Radio Broadcast Original Radio Broadcast

Narrated by: Vincent Price, Barry Sullivan, Larry Dobkin, Old Time Radio

"The Saint - sprung from the pen of Leslie Charteris, his adventures fill thirty books, a dozen motion pictures - and now, by radio, he is yours for the next half hour."

Simon Templar, played here by Vincent Price (with Barry Sullivan substituting in two episodes), was wealthy and refined. He was well dressed, well traveled, and well educated. He was also The Saint, the "Robin Hood of modern crime," who was not afraid to break the law if that's what had to be done to ensure that justice was served.

Larry Dobkin co-stars as Louie the Cabbie in these digitally restored and remastered tales that find Templar sailing, skiing, and delving in to the disparate worlds of mining, baseball, prizefighting, mystery writing, and more. The Saint sets all manner of matters straight, all the while maintaining excellent form.

An absolute delight

Vincent Price shines in this wonderful mix of sarcastic humor and action. The stories are short, fast paced, and fun.
