Russ 02/04/2024 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 Frances H 01/14/2024 Even with a young and handsome George Sanders these flicks are just average. See more 11/17/2012 sanders makes this B movie series watchable See more 10/31/2012 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 07/23/2012 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
