"The Lawless Lady" provides much amusement and boasts of some great on-screen chemistry between leading man Roger Moore and beautiful guest star Dawn Addams. This is the second of three guest shots she made on "The Saint" and it's obvious why the producers kept asking her to return.
Here she plays a moneyless Duchess who heads a clandestine ring of jewel thieves. While she entertains the British upper crust, she sends her minions out to rob the homes of those with whom she's partying. Of course, she's attracted to Templar, and enlists him into joining her crew against the wishes of her foremost accomplice who's concealing a jealous streak.
The proceedings are a lot of fun, and Moore is at his charmingly romantic best. The supporting cast is rounded out by a bunch of experts, especially Julian Glover as Moore's rival. But it's not all lightness, and the plot does touch on the seriousness of the crimes and the effect on the innocent.
