Zitate
[first lines]
Simon Templar: [narrating] Only a few miles outside Rome, you can still find the sort of countryside where, in the ancient Imperial days, rich senators would go to escape the heat and the noise of the city and maybe have a quiet drink with an old friend. Sometimes it was their last drink. Assassination was just as much a way of life then, as now.

Vicious Circle

Roberto Lucci an ex racing driver and a friend of Simon Templar is killed while he is on the phone to The Saint.

The police do not suspect foul play. Simon Templar does. Lucci's wife is a famous fashion designer Renata. She too thinks it was an accident.

Templar goes out on a limb to prove that Lucci was murdered. Maybe his wife Renata might have been involved in a murder plot. She is close a man called Dr Paolo Brogli (Mel Ferrer.)

Renata's assistant Anna (Tessa Wyatt) seems to be a source of help for Simon. Then it transpires that her ex husband could had killed Lucci.

There is a darker, harder edge to The Saint in this story. However some of the characters seem to be broad with the acting and the comedy. It is an odd balance.

There are several effective twists and nice use of Italian locations.
