With the publication of a new book – The Saint on Radio by Ian Dickerson, I take another look at this “Robin Hood of Modern Crime.” Some newer information comes to light with this publication.
A creation of writer Leslie Charteris (left), The Saint was possibly the only fictional character to be featured in virtually every entertainment media: from film, radio, television to comic books.
Some have determined their were possibly five iterations of the character of Simon Templar over the course of the books. I look at how those iterations fit into the radio character and spend some time on the 1995 British version.
