This is a feature film-length episode of The Saint (1962-1968), complete with tongue-in-cheek comedy bond tone and kitschy BBC production values. The plot is as over-the-top and unbelievable as the most outlandish James Bond films, but the tone knowingly goes along with a smirk and a wink at the audience. It’s a fun, silly movie that unfortunately doesn’t have the legs to make it to the end.

Closest comparison: It’s like James Bond by way of The Avengers (1961 show, with John Steed and Emma Peel).

Setting: Rural British Drama
Plot: Outlandish Spy
Tone: Campy Comedy
