Let's I'm known to millions from books, magazines and motion pictures. The robin
2:04
Hood of Modern Crime now comes transcribe to radio, starring Hollywood's brilliant and talented
2:08
actor Vincent Price as the saint. Thank you. Come in, mister Templar.
2:34
Oh what and how are you sit down? I haven't seen you for
2:38
a long time. I do my best to keep out of jail, and
2:42
you do your best to get a lot of people in. What can I
2:45
do for you? And I wanted permission to see one of your prisoners is
2:49
Tommy Patrick. Can't be done even for you. Patrick's in the prison hospital,
2:53
no visitors allowed there. I see you know Tommy, he did some
2:59
work for me years ago, Warden, That's all. I didn't even know
3:01
he was here in prison until I got his letter letter. I wonder how
3:06
I got a letter out of here. I don't know. He couldn't very
3:07
well have put it in the mailbox at the corner. Mind if I take
3:10
a look at it. Oh, of course not it is, dear mister
3:17
Templar. Maybe I got no right to ask your help, but I need
3:21
it bad. They're trying to kill me. But I don't know why.
3:24
I'll meet Patchack. H You know, I've got a hunch Timmy's telling the
3:30
truth? Am I right? Warden? Yes you are. Patchack's been here
3:34
three years. You do out next spring? Three years? There have been
3:37
five attempts on his life by other prisoners. The leadist at a day or
3:40
so ago. Was he hurt seriously? Knife? But not seriously? We
3:45
don't know who did it, and Patchack's too scared to tell. Most likely
3:47
we'll never know. Wouldn't haven't you any way of protecting this man? Protect
3:52
him? Look, Templar, this prison was built for twelve hundred men.
3:57
I've got four thousand. The guards are overworked and paid, the food's bad,
4:00
there's no recreation facility. And every year society sends me a thousand more
4:04
men and says, keep them in your crowded cage for a few years and
4:08
send them back. Good citizens, protect Patcheck? Why I can't even wait?
4:13
What's that? It's been a break? Hello? Heaven? Where is
4:16
it? How many I see? Be right over? What is it?
4:21
Wharton? Your friend Patchack, Templar, he couldn't wait for you? Is
4:26
gone? Read all about the prison break? Patcheck, still at LIVEE Read
4:40
all that taxi a taxi, Good afternoon, Louie, afternoon, mister Templar.
4:47
Ain't it a heavenly days? It is? Mister Templar, Three twelve
4:53
Main Street, Louis gotcha? Read about that prison break? Last name was
5:00
the templar. Say this Patrick rolled out in the lottery run You think they'll
5:03
catch him? No sooner, Lady Louis, they always do, you know,
5:08
shothing. I kind of hope they don't. In my in my sub
5:11
unconscious that is. Oh why is that, mister Temple. In the universe
5:15
of guilt feeling, Louis, whenever there's a man in hiding, that man
5:17
might be you or me. Yeah, fruit, huh, Louis, it's
5:21
freud, That's what I said, sick fraud. You don't shopping more,
5:27
mister Temple. I kind of felt this way when that letfot escaped last spring.
5:30
Remember then he comes back to his cage all by himself. Was kind
5:33
of said, I'm allegory, Louis, No, no, no, it
5:35
was a lat foot. You think Patrick will come back to the cage,
5:40
mister Temple, And I'm afraid that for him there is no hiding place.
5:43
Hey, isn't this main street? Louis? Oh yeah, sure, you
5:49
three twelve anybody we know. I got a tip that Tommy Patrick used to
5:54
live here. Perhaps if I can help him, then you and I won't
5:57
feel they're guilty. Wait for me, Louis, I'm sure I'll be dying.
6:01
What's the matter. I've been to this house before. You got friends
6:05
in the strangest places. Yeah, as I remember, the landlady was one
6:09
of the most charming, cultivated damsels I ever had the pleasure of meeting.
6:15
Some guys got all the luck. You're sure you don't want me to come
6:17
with you? No, thanks, Louis. I want her all to myself.
6:31
Yeah, very wrong, dear heart and gentle person. Don't you remember
6:35
me so good? Well, I'm a friend of Tommy Patcheck. Oh you
6:41
are I know who I am, Shirley Temple. You're a cop, that's
6:45
what. Cops have been thicker than flyers around here last night and today bowl
6:49
to fly for here. That's pretty thick. I run a respectable room in
6:54
house, and every time a cop comes to the front door, five more
6:57
rumors go out the back. They're flying for business and the bubonic plague.
7:01
Hey cops, what do you want? Cop? I'm not a policeman.
7:05
Really, I'm trying to help Tommy if I can. If you know anything,
7:09
I got a very poor memory. Well, now here what a treasury
7:14
note? Refreshed it in it? I got a memory like an Ellison,
7:16
come on in. Thank you Now about Tommy Patrick, Well, so you
7:24
sure you're not a cop? Quite sure? Well? I ain't looking for
7:28
Tommy to come here. But he's got a sister, Nancy. I didn't
7:32
know that the cops known either. They were raised separate, and Tommy didn't
7:35
want to brought into his trouble. Any idea where I could find her?
7:40
I got a very poor memory. Here we are, thanks, swear to
7:45
the Voodoo Room, Cigarette Room, Voodoo Room. That's Charlie Ferrelli's place.
7:48
Isn't he say you positive you're not a cop? Madam? I might as
7:55
well confess I am a personal emissary of j Edgar Hoover. Yeah, that's
8:01
good enough for me, finest president we ever had. Thank you, and
8:05
goodbye. Barbara Fritchell bartender. Who do you think you're talking to you?
8:18
While you're standing behind the bar? I presumed you were the bartend. Well
8:22
I'm not Joe Is I'm a big shut around here? Oh, I beg
8:26
your pardon. I wait for Joe the small show. You'll have a long
8:28
wait. He went out to get a drink, which means he won't be
8:31
back for several drinks. Well, it be scotch over ice, please,
8:39
yeah, thank you, Yeah, Nancy around, Nancy around? Who wants
8:46
to know? A guy wears a neck time, drinks scotch and the eftanoone
8:48
thinks all the girl should fall down, dying dead when he waves his little
8:52
thing. Look. All I asked was is Nancy man drinks scotch and the
8:56
after noon thinks she's gotta write this real big up ready here, drinks scotch
9:01
and please you talk too much and you don't say anything. Just go polish
9:05
your glasses. Okay, okay, real big pin stripe, white shoite,
9:11
dick tied type up. Well. I was down at the state prison last
9:18
night. I had a letter from a man who wanted to see me.
9:22
They couldn't wait. Ye, I'm signing temper. I used to know your
9:28
brother. What do you want? I want to help if I can the
9:31
SAT, don't you? Yes? I remember tom To talked about you could
9:35
come to my place later. I live at the Sheldon. It's the back
9:37
apartment on the second floor eleven. I'll take off early to night. I'll
9:41
be there. Nancy, do you think there's any chance Tommy might come?
9:43
I don't excuse me, but I've got a message to deliver Mac. Well,
9:48
what is it, Jack, Mister just said that he wants to see
9:52
you in his office. Keep out of this. Frank Farrelli doesn't even know
9:56
he's here. I said that mister Farrell wants to see he missed the man
10:01
of distinction here, and if I have to persuade him, then I'll persuade
10:03
him. I stopped flecting your muscles. Frank, you need your strength for
10:07
the cocktail hour. I said that, mister FERRELLI wants to see you,
10:13
but an not attractive gun. It matches your face. Lead on, Jack,
10:18
Now you'll lead. I'll be right behind you, just to make sure
10:20
that you get you stay here, and so the deal is gonna scotch in
10:28
the afternoon. Thinks right away all the girls should pull down dying dead.
10:33
When guy to see him, mister, he was bash. So I brought
10:37
up. Oh, come in, come in, mister Diamond Temple. Welcome
10:41
to the Voodoo Room, mister Temple, let us see more. Rob you
10:46
go, thank you. That's our own brand. And the viol of perfume
10:50
for the lady of your choice from the Voodoo Room. That's a little trick
10:54
I picked up from Shervin Billing's wall. Thank you? And where did you
10:58
pick up this little trick? Mister right? Yeah, he's rather fast conscious,
11:03
but a hard worker. I was asking about Tommy Patchick, mister Farrell,
11:05
I hide him. Indeed, Well, you're a friend of Tommy's,
11:09
mister Temple, possibly possible, and you might possibly be in touch with him
11:15
soon. I couldn't say. You couldn't say, but you could tell us
11:20
the basis of your interest in Tommy. I could, but I see no
11:22
reason to. You see no reason to, mister Templar. Showing interest in
11:26
other people's affairs is not always healthy, and some people know this instinctively,
11:31
and others have to be taught teaching. Frank. Sure, not such a
11:39
big upright now, that's not Frank. I'm not the back way, okay,
11:45
mister. Hey, mister Ferrell, I think I broke the butler poipe
11:48
me game something crack. Well, let's look on the right side. Rank
11:54
might have been, yeah, yeah, say something right, freaking sketch and
11:58
the afternoon or whatever? Nicktime Louis. Hey, hey, mister Temple,
12:18
what happened here? Wait? I'll help you to the kids. Oh gee,
12:24
what happened mister Templar, you look horrible. You should smell pretty,
12:28
but it's a doubtful consolation. Eh, Hey, tangled with the mister Charlie
12:33
Farelli. Yeah, how does he look? Not as scratch? That's really
12:39
as bad, Madison. Stay away from mister Temple unless you know about his
12:41
business. The better maybe. But after you take me home for repairs,
12:46
you can take me to the Morgue. I hope and trust a round trip
12:50
the newspaper. Mort Paul, I'm gonna do some checking on Frelli. I
12:54
begin to detect quite an odor about this whole business, so I hardly trust
13:01
myself in the same camp with you. You got to miss the template,
13:03
you said, so you're detecting order, So I said, oh, yes,
13:22
hello, Well, Simon Templar, the robin Hood of modern crime.
13:26
How are things in Sherwood Forest? Everybody's getting ready for television? Come on
13:31
in, come on in, sit down, and let's chew the fact you
13:35
know anything bad about anybody? Yes, that's why I'm here. I wonder
13:37
if I could look at your fire fan, Charlie Forever. Oh, no,
13:41
need to get dusty. I'll tell you what you want to know.
13:43
RELLI came with this country around twenty five years ago, probably from Sicily nobody
13:46
knows for sure made big doing prohibition days liquor what a nightclub might be leveling
13:52
now and might not big connections on the world and otherwise. Police never pinned
13:56
anything. I don't know if you ask me, they never will. It's
13:58
a class operator. Thanks Sam. How's your memory on Tommy patcheck? Oh?
14:01
I had to pull a file on him today after his break last night.
14:05
Yeah. Sent up three years ago for a tempted robbery. He and
14:07
his buddy tried to hold up a liquor store. His partner was killed Nick
14:11
Panteller, Yeah, pan Tell I think that was his name. Tommy was
14:15
shot, they recovered. He claimed it was a frame and why would anyone
14:18
want to frame him? He didn't know. I guess that's why nobody believed
14:22
him. I see well, Thanks Sam. Oh anytime sat, that's an
14:26
interesting egg on your foot you walk into a dog. No, someone slugged
14:31
me? Oh, now, why would anybody want to slug you? I
14:35
don't know. I guess that's why nobody believed me. Yeah, Well,
14:39
stuff happened. Stuff happened. Good night, man, Simon Temple and Aunty.
15:03
Is anybody watching that. I'm not sure you should see the rest of
15:09
me. Well, I mean, what happened chat beat me up some But
15:13
I'm the durable type, pre war construction. He's always hanging around with the
15:18
own Katie because I'm afraid of him too. What about I don't know you.
15:26
I get the feeling he's watching me all the time. I almost feel
15:30
sometimes like that's why he's hired me, so he can watch me. Does
15:33
he know Tommy Patrick's your brother? I don't nobody knows everything. Maybe he
15:37
does. Tommy's done? Why Why is somebody trying to have him killed?
15:43
What he's done is a shoulder to cry on. I'm not the client type.
15:50
He's just knowing that kid's out there somewhere cold and scared it alone.
15:54
Well maybe he won't be alone if we can reach him, or if he
15:58
can reach us. Does he know where you live? But how can you
16:03
get burned out? Hey, you're quite an accomplished man, frank you ten
16:12
bar beat up the customers listening at keyholes? What else do you do?
16:17
I take guys, I find in my girl's room and I throw him downstairs.
16:22
Did you forget your blackjack? Frankie might need it big? Lady killing
16:26
up later? All right, Well, come on, let's see how you're
16:29
bound. I stand still. This is for the egg on my head,
16:34
Frankie, And this is just because I don't like you. I hope your
16:47
neighbors don't object it. Noisy parties, Nancy. No, I'm not hurt,
16:53
but I don't think I'll have Frankie makes me any more? Drinks pretty
17:00
terrific? Was I? Well? No? Why do you know? Best?
17:03
Good night? Nancy? Oh no, indeed, Frankie might be back.
17:07
I'll sit up and you take the bedroom. Now, get some red?
17:11
Did you sleep it all last time? No? Keep waiting for Tom.
17:15
Get some rest. I'll stretch out on the couch if Tommy comes.
17:18
All awaken you all right, Nancy. If I'm going to spend the night
17:26
on your couch, you'd better call me. Simon. Nancy. Yes,
17:41
Simon m R. I smell coffee and bacon. You do, Nancy.
17:49
Men have married for such an aroma, did you? Yeah? I did?
17:56
Finally, Simon, I wonder I say pitch Tom. No they didn't.
18:00
I went out this morning around six and bought a paper. Here.
18:06
Please, no trap around that, you escape band. It's still at large.
18:11
Simon sure, brother, sound the fire escape, Tommy, come on
18:22
out, Let me help you. Tommy, there you go. Come on,
18:30
I take it easy, Come on that, don't talk. I'll get
18:36
your breakfast and then put you to bed. Right, did anyone see you
18:40
come in? I know I had a breakout. Say hey, JOm me,
18:48
I know, I know. Now pull yourself together. I haven't got
18:51
much time. Who's trying to kid you? Really? Why? Why?
18:59
I don't know, I don't know what. You must let him alone.
19:03
I can't Frank FORRELLI, the police, some of them are, all of
19:07
them will be here at any minute. Oh tell me, But we've got
19:14
to find out why. Tommy, Nancy Hannington coffee all. Now. You
19:26
say Elly is trying to have you killed. That means you know something or
19:29
he thinks you do what he did. I don't know. I don't know
19:34
which I think. I've been trying to figure it out for three years.
19:37
Please let him alone. I can't you say the hold up was a frame,
19:41
right. We didn't even have guns. Nick and I just went in
19:45
for some beer and the owner started shooting at us. He got Nick and
19:49
let to get me too, and I came to there was a gun playing
19:52
honey, well on Nick too? Did Nick know for Elli? O?
19:59
Can I rest for a one? No, You've got the answer me.
20:02
Yeah, yeah, I think you know him in sicily But I never said
20:07
he was lazy. But he was a good guy. He didn't work.
20:11
But how did he get along? Why I got the idea for Ally?
20:14
Gave him money? I don't know why you were his friend? Yeah?
20:18
We live in the same room and house on thirty. I know where it
20:22
is. You know, I was there yesterday and met your charming landlady.
20:25
Did Nick ever tell you anything about Frellie? About anything at all? Look?
20:32
Would you rather see him exhausted or dead? Tell me, Tommy,
20:36
did Nick ever tell you anything about Frelly? Yesh? Just no? One
20:42
just anything ever happened to him? So Nick, I was the looker?
20:49
Did you no? No, you couldn't. You were shot and rare rounded
20:52
into prison. What happened to Nick's things? Do you know? I were
20:57
sold? Yes? He kept everything you had in an old trunk trunk Any
21:03
chance it might still be at the rooming house? Maybe, Temmy, Look,
21:08
is there any way we can get into that house without being seen that
21:11
police are watching me? I don't know. Oh, you've got to know.
21:17
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do. Yeah. To the backyard
21:22
next door and to the garage. Come on, Nanty, we're taking him
21:25
out of here. We'll move him if we have to carry him. If
21:29
we leave him here for Ellie, we'll kill him. Come on, if
21:33
that trunk is still there, we've got a chance, Louis, listen very
21:44
carefully. Go ahead, mister tem Are you feeling particularly reckless today? How
21:49
would you like to take somebody for a ride? Well, mister Temple,
21:55
they nothing I wouldn't do for you, know that, But but take somebody
21:57
forever. My wife wouldn't like you haven't got a wife, yeah, but
22:00
if I had one, she wouldn't like it. No, honest, mister
22:03
Temple. I never bumped off nobody in my whole life. I know that,
22:07
and I wouldn't expect you to start now. I just want you to
22:08
take somebody for a ride in your cab. Oh. Oh, that somebody
22:12
is somebody the police want. I don't want them to find him just yet,
22:17
gotcha. Look, don't hit any bumps. He's in pretty bad conditions.
22:19
I'll worry, mister Temple. He'll think he's no baby. Bucky,
22:22
Louis, I like you. Oh aster Temple, I bet you say that.
22:27
All the cab drivers and right behind this door, what are you doing
22:44
sneaking in the back way. This is a respectable room in house, or
22:48
it would be if I had respectable rumors. Look, mother, I haven't
22:52
much time. Do you remember Nick Pantel? Sure there was shot three years
22:57
ago? Dead? Now? Yes, I know. Did he leave a
23:00
trunk here? Got a very bad memory? Then I sold the trunk,
23:07
used to stuff in it. I had a perfect right. He didn't give
23:11
me my two weeks notice before leaving. Is the trunk still here? Now?
23:15
I'm the seller door here? Thank you? That's okay. Oh,
23:18
I'll mention it to anybody. I won't even mention the Tommy Patrick's sisters standing
23:25
right in my hall behind the door. First, the cops would be kind
23:29
of interested because they're looking for a brother just to He's got a perfect right
23:33
to call the police if you want to not me. I hate cops first,
23:37
if they was to ask me. I got such a good memory here.
23:42
Thanks going back on me again, Wait a minute, any till I
23:57
get the light of it. You see, I think so there's only one
24:03
trunk here, looks like Frelli covered this angle years ago. Huh. The
24:07
lining's ripped up, so it's the bottom perhaps, but perhaps Nick Pantel read
24:14
pose the purloined letter you see this way there on the trunk. I'm going
24:18
to see if it comes off that true that the best hiding place is sometimes
24:22
the most obvious. There's a newspaper clipping on the other side. He's an
24:29
Italian. No, but I'll find someone who can. And when I hello,
24:34
Frelly, H'm mike Hi. I'll take that clipping. Keeping trouble with
24:38
Frank. Thank you. What are you proposed to do now? What do
24:44
I propose to do now? What would you do? Nothing? You're licked,
24:48
Frelli. You can destroy that clipping, but I can guess what it
24:51
says. You committed a crime in Sicily years ago and had to flee the
24:53
country. Probably you killed a man. Nick Pantel knew it and was blackmailing
24:59
you. You had him killed, and you tried to have Tommy killed at
25:03
the same time, just because he might know, just because he might know.
25:07
And if I committed this crime, mister Templar, why didn't they extracise
25:11
me? Because Mussolini was making the trains run on time and accepting bribes whenever
25:15
they came along. Since then, you haven't been too sure. For Ellie.
25:18
Everything is to say, on mister Temple, who got the money?
25:22
Where's Tommy? And I said, she doesn't know? Frank? Do you?
25:26
I think I'll just let you brood about that one. What do you
25:30
think we should do, Frank? Well, it looks like him or you,
25:34
mister f How about the girl, Frank, I don't know her,
25:38
Frank. You heard what he said kid? Well, Frank, No,
25:42
it won't work for Elly, it won't work well. Difference of opinion is
25:45
what makes horse races. They get back. You top the gun the floor
25:51
already his tops all over the house and outside? Who called him? I
25:56
did, mother, and you hated cot I did, but I remembered there
26:00
was a reward out for Tommy, and I figured Manson knew where he was.
26:06
Hurted me to go back on my principles. I forced myself. What
26:11
we do was mister FRELLI is a sentable man, Frank. He'll go back
26:15
to the old country. That's better than facing a murder rap here, isn't
26:18
it. Yes, there's much better. Put up the gun, Frank,
26:21
will not before right give me that, Frankie, give me that before I
26:26
break your martini arm. There, very impetuous young man, frank We might
26:33
accuse him, yeah, but he didn't. Shall we go for Ellie,
26:36
Yes, we'll go, But there's only a question of time for me,
26:38
mister Templer. I'll be back in any sensible society. Money can buy anything.
26:44
And when we returned to was shall I say sensible basis, I'll be
26:48
back, and if you come back, I won't be here. No.
26:52
In the meantime, I'll read up on Paul. He might have saved me
26:56
a lot of trouble. And Tommy Patchack in a full pardon, mister Temple.
27:10
Guy, that's Tommy deserved a few good breaks. Louis. Yeah,
27:14
it just two things about the case of bothering, mister Templar. You think
27:18
a guy like Farelli could ever come back to this country, like you said,
27:22
he'll be trying, Louis, throw it up for you and me.
27:26
Yeah. Yeah. And what's the other thing. Well, you know that
27:30
day you had me drive Tommy Patrick all over town this cab when the cops
27:33
was looking for him. Yeah, Well, all he talked about was his
27:36
sister, What a wonderful girl she was, and how pretty. Yes,
27:41
well, he was saying how hard she worked all her life, now regular
27:45
she was, and how pretty? Yeah, And I just wondered, that's
27:48
all you know if a girl was that too pretty, Louis. The Voodoo
27:53
Club is under new management, new owner, new bartender, but the fame
27:57
figure out girl. Yeah, let's drive over there. You seem to be
28:02
out of cigarette. You've been listening to another transcribed adventure of the Saint,
28:18
the robin Hood of Modern Crime. Now Here is our starve and some Price
28:21

28:26
and Sheldon Leonard is Frank Victor Rodman was Farelli. Peter Leed Sam Dick
28:30
Crenna played Tommy fred Shields the warden. Larry Dobkin plays Lewis. This is
28:37
then Some Price, inviting you to join us again next week at the same
28:40
time for another exciting adventure of the Saint good Night. The last script of
28:59
The Saint was written by Dick pol The Saint, based on characters created by
29:02
Leslie Charters, is a James L. Safier production and is directed by Helen
29:06
mack Vincent. Price is now starring in The Winslow Boy at the Las Palmas
29:10

29:14

29:33

29:45
Welcome back, always great here. Sheldon Leonard doesn't make a ton of radio
29:52
appearances, but was very popular in film and Talivision. It appeared in The
29:59
Damon Run the which isn't surprising. The main things when I hear him on
30:03
radio tend to be more comedy features where he'll play urban characters or gangsters Like
30:11
I hurt him a lot as a gangster. It's surprising to hear him playing
30:15
a reporter an episode of Bold Venture. He was a great TV producer in
30:21
his later career, Make Room for Daddy, and of course the big one,
30:26
The Andy Griffith Show. All right, well, now we turn out
30:30
to some listener comments and feedback, and we have quite a few. Garland
30:33
writes in, I love your podcast. Favorites are the Saints, Sam Spade
30:38
and Nick Carter. Thank you for your work, buddy, Oh thanks so
30:42
much. Lee writes in, dear mister Graham, loved the show. Your
30:48
passion for it is obvious, and I feel lucky for having found the program.
30:52
Many blessings, Thanks so much. Sherry then says, Hi, I
30:56
play the shows during my daily walks. I walk longer and enjoy the detective
31:03
theater of the mine and I found that as well. I take one good
31:10
long walk a week. I'm not walking as much as I did back when
31:12
I was training for the four half marathons I did last year, but it
31:19
definitely makes the walk go quicker. And it was actually I was listening to
31:26
audio drama all the time on my walks during my training last year. In
31:33
fact, the vast majority of episodes of the War that I did after March
31:40
I listened to them during my walk because that had been one thing I was
31:44
wondering when I decided I was going to do the half marathon, because at
31:48
the same time I was also doing the World War two podcast, which of
31:53
course takes even more of your time. But combining the two that worked,
31:59
and then once that was done, included old time rating on a course some
32:04
of the big finish stories as well. Thanks so much for your donation and
32:08
comments. Fan, and then also have a comment from Michael who says I'm
32:16
a longtime listener and first time contributor. I love your podcast and listen faithfully.
32:22
The audio quality is the best, and your informational blurb at the end
32:25
is always interesting. Keep up the good work. Lately, I've had some
32:30
problems downloading episodes last Saturday's Dragnet Big Girl. When I tried to listen to
32:36
it, I got a message that the episode was not available. This also
32:39
happened for a couple of TV of Video episodes, mister Wong, same message
32:45
on two of the three that are available. Well, thanks so much for
32:51
the donation. Regarding the problems kind of separate. The Dragnet thing was just
32:58
kind of crosswire, and apologize to anybody who had a problem with that.
33:02
The video theater happened sometime last year. The company that was hosting the video
33:12
theater programs pulled them abruptly. No copyright violation or anything quite the opposite.
33:20
There was just no original content and that company decided they only wanted videos with
33:25
original content. And so we have to get all of those hosted on this
33:30
side. And it's been one of those items on my to do list that
33:34
is kind of falling behind. I'm going to work on that and i'll keep
33:39
you updated. The first few video theaters as well as The Fat Man are
33:44
available, plus the most recent video theater episodes are available. So I apologize
33:50
with the inconvenience on that and thanks for letting me know, and we'll keep
33:54
working on it. Finally, we have a really fascinating comment from Tim regarding
34:00
episode fifteen oh nine, Miss Godby's School for Girls, and he says there
34:07
were a few references to nineteen fifties current pop psychology in the episode. What's
34:15
the girl's equivalent to the Oedipus or Oedipus complex, the lieutenant asked the Saint.
34:22
The answer not given in the dialogue is the electric complex after Electrica,
34:27
the character in Greek drama who brought down the House of Atreus to avenge her
34:32
father. The more surprising reference was from the roommate, who knew all the
34:37
latest trends in psychology. She dismissed a Freudian analysis as old hat, saying
34:44
she followed dianetics. The name she so breezily dropped is now better known as
34:50
scientology, and today has taken over a considerable portion of the Hollywood community.
34:54
I don't know if the writers had an active interest in it, or if
34:59
they were just ma mentioning the latest trends to sound up to date. The
35:01
film The Master from a few years back recounts the same historical point in time
35:08
as this Saint episode portrays. Well, thanks so much for the comment.
35:14
I would tend to think that they were just trying to sound up to date.
35:20
If you're trying to promote something, generally, the credibility of the character
35:24
you choose is going to be important, and this particular character wasn't one we
35:30
would really have a whole lot of reason to take seriously. Other comments regarding
35:35
episode fifteen oh nine, Bobby Lee says the Saint is starting to grow on
35:44
me, and Gypsy says, I love, I so love Vincent Price indeed
35:52
it was such a great actor, so nice to have him in this series,
35:57
which is a little bit different from what he's best known for outside of
36:01
radio. And then Brian comments regarding episode fifteen or via fifteen oh nine about
36:08
fifteen oh three It's no Use. I love last week's episode of the Same
36:14
Saint. I could swear I saw it as a movie. The plot of
36:19
It's No Use could be a very good mystery comedy. If anyone is aware
36:24
of a movie similar to that, I let us know. All right,
36:29
Well, that will bring today's episode to a conclusion. We will be back
36:34
tomorrow with crime and Peter Chambers, and then next Monday join us for another
36:38
episode of The Saint. In the meantime, send your comments to Box thirteen
