Nicholas Courtney sending villainous vibes as French criminal and (literal!) lady-killer Alain in The Saint: The Abductors (4.2, ITC, 1965)

#seen here with his colleagues in crime‚ the great Dudley Foster and David Garfield
#Garfield will be familiar to DW fans for his memorable turn as Von Weich in The War Games
#Nick had made a Saint appearance just six months earlier in 3.14 (The Contract; follow the fave spotting tag to see) but where that was
#an uncredited walk on with one or two short lines‚ he gets something much meatier here. he's the tip henchman to Foster's villain and
#gets to do all the really nasty stuff like beating up Annette Andre or beating up Jennifer Jayne or trying to beat up Roger Moore (better
#luck next time on that one Nick). whether his star had risen by any particular distance between episodes isn't really clear from his
#imdb page; it wouldn't be until the end of the year that he would start appearing in The Daleks' Master Plan‚ although Dougie Camfield
#had apparently wanted him for Richard the Lionheart in The Crusade. mostly he was doing minor guest work at this point in his career
#but this stands out i think as a real significant part in which he can stretch his acting chops and be just horrible
#and the french accent? not bad! a damn sight better than Foster's Welsh accent i am sorry to say
#wisely‚ Garfield doesn't seem to have attempted any accent whatsoever. the right call.
