Bullets? Blondes? or blackmail?"; "Based on Characters Created by Leslie Charteris") starring Louis Hayward (in the title role as Simon Templar aka The Saint), Naomi Chance, Sydney Tafler, Charles Victor, Jane Carr, and Diana Dors (in a minor role as "The Blonde"). Note that Diana Dors ("England's Marilyn Monroe") had a small part in the movie, but the U.S. distributors of it wisely recognized that she was a strong selling point, so she is prominently features on all the U.S. advertising, in a sexy dress, even though she is not billed on any of the posters! Note that RKO had made a movie based on The Saint in 1938, which starred Louis Hayward. After several other movies, where the character was played by George Sanders, RKO and Leslie Charteris had a falling out, and Charteris sued, and the case was settled out of court. In this 1953 movie, Louis Hayward returned to play the role for RKO, and it was released both under the title "The Saint's Girl Friday" and as "The Saint's Return".
