Idézet

A legjobb filmnek járó Oscar®-díjat 1982-ben elnyert filmalkotás két angol futó valós történetét meséli el. Az 1924-es párizsi Olimpiára készülo futók mindegyike gyozni akart. Eric Liddell, a mélyen vallásos, keresztény skót küldetésnek tekinti a versenyt. Úgy érzi, a hitének tartozik azzal, hogy o álljon a dobogó legfelso fokán. Legnagyobb ellenfele szintén a szigetországból érkezett. Harold Abrahams sem pusztán a megbecsülésért szeretne minden áron gyozni. Az elfogadtatásért, az elismerésért küzd - azért, hogy megmutathassa a második világháború felé rohanó világnak, hogy tévesek, hibásak és igaztalanok az eloítéletek - o a meghurcolt zsidóságot képviseli ezen a versenyen…

The famous logo of the Saint; it has an almost magical nostalgia about it, bringing different emotions and responses from anyone who sees it. Most remember watching Roger Moore in the 1960s driving his white Volvo P1800 across our television sets, while others recall George Sanders in a dusty 1940s theater catering to the "B" crowd. Oldtime radio fans can still hear the famous voice of Vincent Price broadcasting the adventures of The Saint over the airwaves, but a younger generation might see a vision of Ian Ogilvy wearing those 1970s fashions we love to hate, starring in The Return of the Saint. A few hearty fans might even conjure up Simon Dutton in his role as the famous Simon Templar in the 1980s. The more literary minded of us recall a series of books dating back to the 1920s that was still being added to in the 1980s. Readers of pulp magazines have pleasant memories of The Saint Mystery Magazine, as well as other stories appearing in such magazines as Black Mask, Double Detective, and Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine. The Saint also ventured into the comics section of our newspapers, battling alongside Dick Tracy and the other Sunday heros. The Saint even had his own series of bubblegum cards, and with a new motion picture in the 1990's starring Val Kilmer, one thing remains unchanged: watch for the sign of The Saint, he will be back.
