The Saint: Lida (3.2, ITC, 1964)
"Well, I think that about ties it up. Naturally you'll all be expected to attend the hearing, but it'll be no more than a formality."
"All neat and tidy - and a rubber stamp marks the case closed."
"I don't look for trouble where none exists, Mr. Templar."

Erica Rogers‚ having been ill served in her previous two#appearances (1.6 and the heinous 1.10‚ The Golden Journey) gets to play someone nice for a change‚ tho she still suffers the indignity of#being ogled in a bikini scene. the twist reveal of the villain is a little more obvious here I think than in similar Saint episodes#or perhaps I just happened to remember the details a little better. Marne Maitland for once isn't a bad guy‚ tho you could hardly call his#self serving bar manager a Good guy. this episode belongs entirely tho to Aubrey Morris‚ giving a deliciously grotesque turn as a murderous#henchman who giggles and squirms his way through the ep; it's the kind of creepy role he'd be typecast in for a while (see his guest spots#in It's Dark Outside and Man in a Suitcase for further evidence‚ as well as big hitters like The Wicker Man and A Clockwork Orange)#tho he was an actor of great range and ability. Moody was a genuine American who'd come over to the uk and would do a slew of tv genre#stuff before promptly retiring at the start of the 70s. she did appear in the Saint doc Network put together in 2008 tho so presumably#happy to discuss her (comparatively brief) time on the show
