true confessions
I have fallen completely in love with Roger Moore’s Simon Templar character in The Saint. Actually, he’s Sir Roger Moore these days, bestowed an OBE for his charity work. He’s not my favourite Bond, although Live and Let Die is one of my favourite Bond movies. I also adore him alongside Tony Curtis in The Persuaders. Last night we watched him play a sinister villain in an episode of Alias (ta Sean). I would love to see him play a Bond villain — surely some studio hack must have had the same idea?

He was also pretty good, and less of a light weight, in this movie in 1979. It’s probably one of my favourite Moore roles. You can also click to this for an early role.

I loved him in Cannonball Run. Or was it Cannonball Run 2?

Moore is my least favourite Bond; the dialogue sank so low! Guess that’s not necesasrily his fault… must admit I haven’t watched any original Saint, but I loved that he was the radio announcer in Val Kilmer’s movie (which is up there as one of my favourite fluffy movies ever!).

The Saint movie with Val Kilmer shat me off something chronic. Val did a good enough job, but Elizabeth Shue's dipsy cold fusion scientist with all her notes stuffed down her bra on napkins... I don't think I've ever seen a more anti-feminist lead female role. But the movie did feature a shit hot Duran Duran song over the closing credits...

I loved him in the Saint (my time period) and the Persuaders too. I agree not my favourite Bond…Live and Let Die- I think that was my first Bond movie.
I liked Val Kilmer’s The Saint…but it wasn’t a box office hit. Nor was it Moore redone.
