Sex and nudity in The Saint
Sexual content is limited to mild innuendo and romantic tension. Simon Templar often flirts with female characters, and there are occasional implied kisses or embraces. There is no nudity, graphic sexual acts, or overtly suggestive dialogue. In 'The Romantic Matron,' a widow is attracted to an agent, but the relationship is platonic.
