‘The Saint’ – The TV Titles

The Saint

“The Saint” was a wonderful British television program based on the novels by Leslie Charteris. Roger Moore played the role of Simon Templar, the hero who would leave his “saint-ly” calling card, a stick figure with a halo. You should watch it some time!

Below are two different titles used during the show’s run – one in black & white and the other in color. The first one is just utilitarian, but the second one is very jazzy and hip (the second one was pulled off Youtube for copyright violation – boo!).

Black & White Intro (short & simple, with a jazzy theme)

Monday Meal: Carving Magic (with Harvey Korman)

It’s your Monday Meal time again! Today we have a lovely video clip called “Carving Magic.” This instructional film teaches you how to carve different types of meat. And as a bonus, Harvey Korman co-stars as the clueless guy who asks all the questions. (For those who don’t know, Harvey Korman is best known for “The Carol Burnett Show.”)

So sit back, relax and learn all about the art of carving. And be sure to pull out your projector and show this film to all your friends at your next dinner party. It’ll be swell!

In memory of Walter Cronkite, here is a clip from What’s My Line, with Charles Collingwood, Douglas Edwards, Eric Sevareid, and Robert Trout. They were a part of the CBS news team covering the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. It originally aired on August 12, 1956.
