AKA The Saint's Girl Friday.

'Blondes... Bullets... and Blackmail... Can't Stop Him'
A solid light-hearted mystery from Hammer Films, actor Louis Hayward (despite the fact that he is not the young man he had been a decade and a half earlier) returns once more and for the last time playing Simon Templar, the character made famous by Leslie Chateris long-running collection of novels about "the Robin Hood of Crime" produced by Hammer Films in the UK (with a nice nod to Hammer Films legend Terence Fisher) and distributed by RKO in the States. Its quite a rarity this one to fans of the Saint series. Interesting to note that it would be another decade before it was successfully revived on the small screen, with a perfectly cast Roger Moore. The film is notable for the unexpected but memorable appearance of a very young 22 year old Diana Dors who plays a temptress who tries to seduce the Saint in order to keep him in her apartment "Look Baby, you don't need a GUN! Use what you've GOT!"
