Featured review
Hayward returns after a long gap, decent movie.
Simon Templar is shocked to learn that an old girlfriend was killed, the same day that she cabled him, reaching out.
It's a pretty good, if not dynamic movie, I believe it was the last on the big screen, it would of course return with the well remembered series.
It's a solid storyline, there is a sense of mystery, one thing you'll notice, it doesn't really have any lighter moments, it's quite a straight up mystery, it's definitely atmospheric.
Diana Dors appears, what a presence, what an absolutely beautiful woman.
It had been quite a few years since Hayward last played Templar, The Saint in New York, Hayward made some impressive films in the gap years, including one of my favourites, And then there were none.
There is no denying that Hayward was a handsome actor, with presence and charisma, well suited for the part, people will no doubt compare him to Sanders, I liked both.
Solid, 6/10.
