I'm not sure which of his films allowed him to perform without a weapon of some sort but I can think of none. I dislike films which incorporate weapons so I'm the wrong person to ask when it comes to his film roles.

Sir Roger obviously had a sense of humor and an eye for the ridiculous which counterbalances his screen presence.

He was polite in public. I'm not aware of his ever uttering an obscenity. He learned to behave graciously. The world has lost an attraction.

Well, I enjoyed his movies. Even the James Bond films.

You summed up his career very well, IMHO

He actually very seldom used a weapon in the Bond films. While weapons were all around, he usually managed to avoid actually taking part in the destruction, himself, with the exception of the occasional well-placed pistol shot.

And I still enjoy watching the reruns from The Saint.

Nicely understated Spot.

A nice guy with an animated eyebrow who made the most of his talents.
