SPECIAL FEATURES:
COMMENTARY:
"The Saint Bids Diamonds":
With input from: Roger Moore, Robert S. Baker
(Executive Producer) & Eunice Gayson(Guest Star)
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
The Saint is one of the best series I have ever seen. It's
fun, It's exciting and the settings are always different.
Roger Moore plays one of his better roles as the cool Simon
Templar. It's no mistery why Roger Moore was picked as James
Bond when Sean Connery stopped, he shows that in the Saint.
Great Entertainment! - erwan_ticheler
