The Saint: The Man Who Liked Lions (5.8, ITC, 1966)

"As an enemy, Mr. Templar, I trust you'll prove an exciting opponent."

"I generally do."

Suzanne #Lloyd makes her 4th Saint appearance in an impressively expensive looking episode that is nevertheless slightly unhinged #i do feel like‚ after a few fairly standard adventures‚ this fifth series has just rocketed into madness now; first Nessie‚ now a Roman #emperor wannabe (a delightfully OTT Peter Wyngarde‚ who rather improbably complains about the effeminate men of today.. ahem.. and has a #scene where he's massaged by a very muscular and mostly nude man.. someone on the production team was doing him favours..) #the set dressing and costuming for the roman party finále is all very impressive and surely left overs from another production (altho the #series certainly wasn't a cheap one to produce). i had wondered if they were leftovers from Cleopatra‚ which had originally shot in England #before relocating‚ but that would have been Pinewood not Elstree. regardless this is a handsome if silly episode

The Saint: The Death Game (5.17, ITC, 1967)

"You see, some people do not take kindly to the pressures I exert. Naturally, I have to enforce this by having them executed - preferably in such a way that it appears to be an accident. I should like to consider you two ideal candidates for my pressure department. Your starting salaries will be seventy-five thousand dollars a year."

"And we start with Templar."

The Old Dark House (James Whale, 1932) Cast: Raymond Massey, Gloria Stuart, Melvyn Douglas, Boris Karloff, Ernest Thesinger, Eva Moore, Charles Laughton, Lilian Bond, Elspeth Dudgeon, Brember Wills. Screenplay: Benn W. Levy, based on a novel by J.B. Priestley. Cinematography: Arthur Edeson. Art direction: Charles D. Hall. Film editing: Clarence Kolster. The title itself has an air of gleefully giving away what you're about to see. It's an old dark house and it's the only refuge from a storm that has Philip and Margaret Waverton (Raymond Massey and Gloria Stuart) and their friend Penderel (a slightly pudgy Melvyn Douglas) seeking shelter for the night. And when the disfigured butler Morgan (Boris Karloff, who else?) answers the door, you settle in for an evening of mostly tongue-in-cheek scary moments. The travelers are reluctantly invited in by Horace Femm (Ernest Thesiger) and his sister, Rebecca (Eva Moore), and just as reluctantly given dinner. Their meal of roast beef and potatoes -- the line "Have a potato" has never been funnier -- is interrupted by another pair of shelter seekers, Sir William Porterhouse (Charles Laughton) and his companion Gladys (Lilian Bond). They're an odd couple but not a spooky one: He's an uncouth industrialist who earned his knighthood and she's a chorus girl. But she's not his mistress, she explains to Penderel as the two of them start to hit it off together. She and Porterhouse just like one another's company, she says, and he likes to appear "gay" -- in the older meaning of the word, though you can be sure that director James Whale knew the current meaning, since he and Laughton and Thesinger were. There's also a centenarian in the attic and a madman in a locked room, and of course the lights go out and everyone finds themselves in some kind of peril. The Old Dark House was thought to be lost for a long time, but it was discovered and restored, for which we all should be glad.
