James Maxwell, in various stages of fake facial hair, as Joseph, part of a gang of German art thieves, in The Saint: The Art Collectors (5.18, ITC, 1967)
#james maxwell#fave spotting#the saint#the art collectors#itc#1967#i am in no doubt whatsoever that @thisbluespirit must have vastly superior quality images of this ep and this guest spot#perhaps even moving images in gif form!#but nevertheless#i was frankly so charmed by JM in this silly little part in this silly little episode that i felt duty bound to make a post#joseph is... well actually Joseph is a former German soldier who helped to loot art treasures in WW2.. wisely the episode doesn't linger#over that plot aspect for too long. now he's after those same paintings and will go to any lengths‚ even disguising himself as a frenchman‚#to get them. and not just any frenchman! lovely Geoffrey Bayldon no less! with the quick application of a fake beard and moustache and tada#they're uh... identical?#in what could almost be a commentary on JM's experiences with fake facial hair on old tv‚ he very roughly has his beard torn off by Simon#producing some incredible faces in the process (not least when Simon threatens to tear off his real hair as well)#he then gets sheepishly locked up in the cellar he'd been keeping poor Geoffrey in.. but gets to have another go at the paintings later#it's fun! a pretty silly one. but a good time all told
