Russ @RT78760655 Feb 4, 2024 A rather entertaining 72 minutes, even if things get a bit muddled toward the conclusion. Miss Gray makes a quite fetching assistant sleuth. See more Nov 17, 2012 sanders makes this B movie series watchable See more Oct 31, 2012 Prior to staring in the nearly identical "Falcon" series, George Sanders was the debonair crime fighter "The Saint". This cheapie RKO production is certainly not a high quality affair in either writing or direction, but Sander brings an enormous amount of class to the picture and makes it more than worth watching. See more Jul 23, 2012 As it is over 70 years old now this is a decent enough little thriller, with George "Sheer Khan" Sanders as the Saint. Fraud, Murder and other acts of skullduggery are rather neatly put together in a film lasting 75 minutes! See more Read all reviews
