Anecdotes
Although the release date of this feature length version was December 1968, the fashions and style suggest that it was filmed a lot earlier. The title sequence indeed shows a copyright year of 1966, indicating that this was filmed during the period of the first colour series of The Saint (1962). However, the two part episode that made up this feature length version, was not aired until the latter part of the final season. In the rest of those episodes for that final series, Roger Moore's hair is noticeably longer, darker and with longer sideburns.

Citations
Simon Templar: Screeen fights are all the same and not difficult to outguess. A couple of haymakers, followed up by a flying hip throw. Karate chop to the neck, the midriff, another to the neck and into the bath. Turn on the shower. Back into the bath. Turn on the shower. Mechanical horse. It must there for some reason. That leaves us with the mirror. Just as planned. Dialogue.

viewers who did not like this movie were never fans of the series popularized by Roger Moore

(1968) The Fiction-Makers ADVENTURE ACTION

Co-produced (uncredited) and starring Roger Moore starring as the infamous Simon Templer nicknamed as "The Saint" the character created by Leslie Charters. A movie made as a result of the popular television series that starred Roger Moore. The set up has Simon Templer being involved with popular author and novelist, Amos Klein (Sylvia Syms) as her safety is in jeopardy. And since many of the readers do not know what the author looked like, Simon Templer thought it be best if he pretended to be author, Amos Klein and she would pretend to be her secretary, Joyce Darling. And Simon does get abducted by a guy who calls himself Warlock (Kenneth J. Warren), another character from her novels, Simon is then forced by him and four of his cohorts- all consist of names from the authors novel to devise a plan to rob the most secured bank. The four of Warlock's cohorts consist of characters from her novels, that includes Bishop (Nicholas Smith), Nero Jones (Roy Hanlon), Simeon Monk (Tom Clegg) and Warlock's right hand man, Frug (Philip Locke). And then there's Galaxy Rose (Justine Lord) who is supposed to provide whatever Simon needed while being confined to his room.

I thought it was slick and may have an understanding why Ian Fleming originally wanted Roger Moore to play James Bond. As Moore is very charismatic and respectful and not out of synch with the The Saint character. And viewers who did not like this movie are obviously no fans of the TV series that was popularized by Moore whatsoever.
