Leans Traditional
Primary
The film focuses on apolitical themes of crime and justice, with an individualistic hero whose actions are driven by a general sense of righting wrongs rather than promoting a specific political ideology or advocating for systemic change.
The series 'Return of the Saint' features traditional casting, with the lead character and most of the ensemble reflecting the typical demographics of British television from its era. The narrative focuses on adventure and mystery, presenting traditional identities in a neutral or positive light without explicit critique or central DEI themes.
Secondary
The series 'Return of the Saint' does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on crime-solving adventures and does not explore queer identities or experiences, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate.
Across the episodes of "Return of the Saint," female characters are typically portrayed in supporting roles, often as love interests, victims, or intellectual antagonists. There are no significant instances where a female character is depicted defeating one or more male opponents in direct, close-quarters physical combat.
This series is an adaptation of Leslie Charteris's 'The Saint' novels. The central character, Simon Templar, consistently male in all prior canon, is portrayed by a male actor (Ian Ogilvy). No major or legacy characters from the source material appear to have undergone a gender swap.
The lead character, Simon Templar, was consistently portrayed as white in the original novels and previous adaptations. In "Return of the Saint" (1978), Ian Ogilvy, a white actor, portrays the character, maintaining the established race. No other established legacy characters underwent a race change.
