The Saint is a detective
series based on Leslie Charteris' mystery novels. Featuring a long string of cons and tricks played by the main character, Simon
Templar, and his villains, each trying to gain the upper hand.
The Saint became the subject of many novels (by Charteris and
others), movies, television series, magazines and comic strips. When
The Saint became popular in
Hollywood movies, Charteris moved to America where he became a successful
Hollywood scriptwriter. He married actress Audrey Long and became an
American citizen in 1942.
In 1941, Charteris bought back the movie rights to The Saint
from RKO who proceeded to make a series of movies about The Falcon, a
very similar character, played by George Sanders who had starred in the
five previous Saint movies.
