RTBWTV Podcast Showcase January 8th 2023 Alternative Saints
There have been many Simon Templars. But who's best?
In this New Year showcase edition, co hosts Guy Morgan and David Newell consider the other Saintly options; from Vincent Price on American radio to Val Kilmer in the big screen 1997 blockbuster, which goes large on authentic Moscow locations and disguises (thankfully some of which went unused). And of course, we discuss other big budget versions of popular 1960's TV shows, from the immensely successful Mission Impossible series to others that should remain nameless and forgotten.
Also we ask: did Ian Ogilvy get enough time to establish himself in Return of the Saint? And could you launch a successful remake now? Dave has an idea - which might just work.......
