The Saint: Sophia (2.24, ITC, 1964)
"Professor, what is the meaning of this? What is going on?"
"It's rather an elaborate plot, I'm afraid."

#Reed's second episode gives him a meatier role than his first but true to form (at least according to popular legend) he managed to get
#injured again; where King of the Beggars (2.9) had seen him with a full concussion‚ here he received a lesser head injury in the scene
#where his character is menaced by Greek locals. yes we're in Greece‚ for another sort of morality tale‚ as Simon tries to teach Olly not to
#be a horrible crook or to pay his debts or something... it doesn't really work‚ unless threats and blackmail are a good teaching tool. this
#ep marked Moore's debut as a director; he'd continue to dabble with it throughout The Saint and later with The Persuaders. actually he
#proves a very competent first time director; fond of close up‚ there's a lovely unspoken bit of business of Simon noticing Oliver is
#carrying a pistol which is very effectively done. later another character will say that only dishonest men carry guns (no mention made of
#Simon's habit for carrying). John Wentworth plays a Scots archaeologist but he's very clearly dubbed (and in fact i recognise the voice of
#the dubbing artist‚ another character actor‚ but I just can't place it). his real voice can be heard only once‚ an excited exclamation as
#he enters the inn having discovered a golden statuette. the ep is named for Hassall's character but she alas doesn't have a great deal to
#do in the plot (and is offscreen for much of the second half)
#sadly this was to be a consistent theme in her short and rather sad career (she took her own life in 1980 aged 38)
