Yep. The Saint's name was Simon Templar. He wasn't a spy though, even if he
was played by Roger Moore...more of a Robin Hood character...robbed from
the rich and undeserving, and gave to orphanages and the like. The books
are better than the series or the movie; they're written by Leslie Charteris.
