This movie picks up on the famous British TV-series about a debonair detective--Simon Templar. It was the series in which Roger Moore made his name. The movie version begins with an orphan boy in Hong Kong makes up a name for himself--Simon Templar. The opening scenes from "The Saint" starring Val Kilmer show how the saint started out in life. He was a 11 or 12 year old boy in an Catholic orphanage--the Saint Ignatius Orphanage. The orphanage was located in an imposing Victorian building. Being strong in mind and will power, plus gifted with unusual talents. The first part containing the orphanage only goes for a few minutes. He wears short trouser suits.
