The Saint

<p>"The Saint" was a popular adventure radio program in the United States, based on the character Simon Templar, created by author Leslie Charteris. Simon Templar, also known as "The Saint," was a suave, swashbuckling, and often witty "Robin Hood" type who fought criminals while staying a step ahead of the police.</p><p>The radio program had several iterations on different networks:</p><ul><li><strong>Early runs:</strong> The Saint first appeared on radio in 1940 in a six-episode series in Ireland on Radio Athlone, starring Terence De Marney. In the United States, the program began in January 1945 on NBC with <strong>Edgar Barrier</strong> in the lead role. Later that year, it moved to CBS with <strong>Brian Aherne</strong> as The Saint.</li><li><strong>Vincent Price's iconic portrayal:</strong> The most memorable and longest-running radio incarnation of The Saint began in July 1947, primarily starring <strong>Vincent Price</strong>. Price's portrayal is widely considered the definitive radio version, bringing a unique charm, wit, and sophistication to the character. He played the role across CBS, Mutual, and NBC until May 1951.</li><li><strong>Other actors:</strong> Other actors who briefly played Simon Templar in the radio series included <strong>Tom Conway</strong> (brother of George Sanders, who played The Saint in films) and <strong>Barry Sullivan</strong>.</li><li><strong>Supporting cast:</strong> Notable supporting actors included <strong>Louise Arthur</strong> as Patricia Holm (Templar's assistant), <strong>Lawrence Dobkin</strong> as Louie (the cab driver), <strong>John Brown</strong> as Inspector Fernack, and <strong>Ken Christy</strong> as Hoppy (Templar's sidekick).</li></ul><p>The show was known for its engaging plots, adventures, and Templar's distinctive flair and moral compass, often accompanied by a whistling theme and footsteps as an opening.</p><p>Listen to our radio station Old Time Radio <a href="https://link.radioking.com/otradio" rel="nofollow">https://link.radioking.com/otradio</a></p><p>Listen to other Shows at My Classic Radio <a href="https://www.myclassicradio.net/" rel="nofollow">https://www.myclassicradio.net/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/entertainment_radio" rel="nofollow">Entertainment Radio | Broadcasting Classic Radio Shows | Patreon</a></p><p><br></p><p>Remember that times have changed, and some shows might not reflect the standards of today’s politically correct society.
