The Adventures of The Saint (starring Vincent Price)

Vincent Price as The Saint would rather toss off a witty remark than engage in fisticuffs, but his suave charm nets as many pretty girls as any hardboiled dick.

Vincent Price as The Saint

Detective Drama (1947 - 51)

Vncent PriceSimon Templar, AKA "The Saint" was not a Saint…in fact, the name was the underworld's sobriquet for this radio detective, who often did a little bad to get the "goods" on his criminal of choice. "The Saint" is a bon vivant who savors detection as an art form. He's nothing like his American hard-boiled detectives-in-arms such as Sam Spade, Boston Blackie and Phillip Marlowe, although closer in spirit is The Fat Man, and closer still, Nero Wolfe.

Simon Templar was called "The Saint" because of his initials: "S.T."

The Chinese-English crime novelist Leslie Charteris wrote over a hundred Saint adventures. Many "Saint" movies were made, the best starring George Sanders. Tom Conway, who played The Falcon on the silver screen, was in real life George Saunders brother! (To prevent confusion on the part of the public, they tossed a coin to see who would have to change his name. Tom lost, and became Tom Conway.) Vincent Price publicity photo with haloWhen in 1947, The Saint was developed for radio, the first choice was Tom Conway. He quickly stepped aside, however, and the legendary Vincent Price went on to give the radio public its most wry dilettante of the demimonde.  Barry Sullivan also took over the lead role for two episodes.

The SaintThe Saint's crime fighting is sophisticated. He's usually sharp enough to stick to slinging witty words like arrows, since he's the "Robin Hood of Modern Crime", but sometimes thugs want their slugs. Lawrence Dobkin is "Louie," the (Brooklyn) Cab Driver, who keeps The Saint streetwise while getting him across town. A congenial cast of characters is always on hand, or fist, thanks to the witty scripts. Orchestral music adds to the enjoyment, too, but it's Mr. Vincent Pricethat gives The Saint a halo.

Please note this is the same collection as in the Vincent Price Collection Volume 2. For more Vincent Price excitement and guest star appearances, please see The Vincent Price Collection Vol. 1.

For more hard hitting detective action, don't forget to call on some of the most popular detectives: Phillip Marlowe, Richard Diamond, Let George Do It, Boston Blackie, and The Falcon.

For more brainy detectives, see also: Softboiled Detectives.

    COMMENTS

    Vincent Price(An absolute perfect pick to play The Saint on radio) has one my all time favorite quotes. One I would call a life motto of mine. “A man who limits his interests limits his life”.

    Mike Verified Purchase

    One of my favorite shows and one of those shows (along with Sam Spade) that I wish had more of the run recorded. As another mentioned, Vincent Price is perfect as the Saint and I am also a fan of Larry Dobkin (talk about a versatile actor! One of my "parlor" games when listening to a radio show is to see if and when Larry Dobkin shows up since he seems to make a guest appearance in practically every series at some point!) and his character, Louie - the shows are quick witted and entertaining - the sound of the whistling and the steps down a corridor are also one of my favorite opening themes for a radio show. All in all one of the best!

    Peter Verified Purchase

    I LOVE THE SAINT RADIO SHOW AND THIS IS AN EXCELLENT OTR MP3 CD. I HAVE ORDERED MANY IN THE PAST AND WOULD RECOMMEND THIS SOURCE FOR OTR.

    Robert Verified Purchase

    CORRECTION!The Saint was never a crook.

    Robert Verified Purchase

    I agree that Vincent Price was The Saint. He filled the role like the professional he always was.

    Gregory Verified Purchase

    The Saint was my main teen hero. There is no other Simon Templar than Vincent Price for me!

    Robert Verified Purchase

    A really enjoyable series, with good plots and excellent acting. Vincent Price and Larry Dobkin (as Louie, The Saint's favourite taxi driver) are a great double act!

    Robert Verified Purchase

    this order is for my 12 year old son, who loves these old shows, and will be a good customer for years to come, I expect!

    Peter Verified Purchase

    I just wanted to say thanks a lot for my recent orders. You are always so prompt in sending out the orders, well packaged and always perfect. You sure have a wonderful list of shows to choose from.....and your current website displays is real nice too.

    Joan Verified Purchase

    Got the updated Saint version which is still waiting to be listened to. Not to many radio shows had what I call a sidekick which was used for comedy relief. Hack driver Louie was one.
