The Saint on TCM November 12th

The Saint's Blog devoted to news and rumors about The Saint and Leslie Charteris. Simon Templar, alias The Saint, was played by Roger Moore in the 1960's TV show featuring the Volvo 1800.

Turner Classic Movies (TCM) has an interesting schedule for Monday, November 12, 2007.

The day starts off with a fine selection of Dick Tracy movies, and then don't miss a large number of hours of the old RKO movies of The Saint, starring Louis Hayward, George Sanders, and Hugh Sinclair.

Since these films are still not out on DVD yet, this is a great way to see them again on your new flat-screen TV!
