Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of the story lines involves a character who his registered to play in Wimbledon, but he played one year as a pro so he should be ineligible (he lied so he could play). That was true in 1962 when this episode was filmed. However, starting in 1967, Wimbledon was opened to both amateur and professional players.
- GoofsThe cards supposedly containing gossip were actually actors cue cards. Just before Templar burned them, actors dialogue could be seen for the different parts played.
- Quotes
Simon Templar: Very tricky lad this Vosper. He's found out that most people like reading dirt, so three times weekly, his column dishes it up and by mixing a few grains of truth into a mess of innuendo and smut, Floyd Vosper pretends to report the load on celebrities. I don't know what you feel about it, but to me, it is like a dirty kid scrawling filthy words on a backyard fence.

Featured review
The Arrow of God
The Saint goes to sunny Bahamas to investigate waspish gossip columnist Floyd Vosper.
Vosper is a guest of Lucy Wexall. Her husband is getting a big business deal together and also plans to run off with pretty Pauline Stone.
When Vosper is found dead, any number of guests could be the murderer. Vosper had a file on everyone and they all had a secret to hide.
This really is a Agatha Christie murder mystery. It starts off with library footage of the Bahamas. Then it settles with studio interiors.
It is rather plodding as it takes ages for the murder to occur.
Anthony Dawson steals it as Vosper. He is having fun. Honor Blackman is the other Bond alumni.
