Louis Hayward is no stranger to playing sleuths. Best known for his swashbucklers as THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK (1939) and THE SON OF MONTE CRISTO (1940), he was the original Simon Templar in THE SAINT IN NEW YORK (RKO, 1938), a role he reprized in THE SAINT'S GIRL Friday (RKO, 1954) before breaking into this TV role. Unlike his predecessors, Hayward's Lanyard is low-keyed, soft-spoken tough guy. Breaking away from his earlier baby-faced image from the 1930s, Hayward, now older with face slightly fuller, fits well into his role, caricatured somewhat to the liking of other movie tough guy heroes as Humphrey Bogart, Dick Powell or Alan Ladd. The episodes scripted are done in typical 1940s "film noir," style, with off-screen narration, occasional flashback sequences and surprise end twists. Of course there's enough cigarette smoking done from various characters as well as occasional fist fights and gun play between Lanyard and villains for some added excitement.
