Audience Member "The Saint" series was such a cash cow that they restyled the formula, complete with George Sanders, into "The Falcon" - and got sued for doing it! Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Audience Member poorly worked out and convoluted Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Enjoyable duel role for George Sanders as goody and baddy once it gets going. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Okay installment in The Saint series. Sanders gets to play dual roles as The Saint and as an evil look-a-like. I was kind of excited to see the film start with Bela Lugosi as a criminal, but he's unfortunately hardly in the film. It's always a treat to see Lugosi or Boris Karloff outside of a horror role, so it was disappointing to see him wasted here. Not at bad film, but not all that interesting either. Mostly just worth watching for Sanders as The Saint. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The 4th film in RKO's series of Simon Templar films, and the third one to star George Sanders. This one is a bit of a silly adventure compared with what had gone and what was to come, but it doesn't last long, (The Saint films rarely last over 70 minutes), but it manages to be fun while it lasts. Simon Templar (Sanders) is believed to be in Cairo, but when he turns up in Philadelphia at the house of his friend Professor Horatio T. Bitts (Thomas W. Ross), and Bitts believes that Templar is in trouble. Bitt has just received a coffin containing the mummified remains of a pharaoh. However, the police have been looking for a man who is identical to Templar, and has been committing jewel thefts, diamond smuggling and other misdemeanors. Templar's double turns out to be Boss Duke Bates (Sanders again), and Templar soon finds himself being chased by the police, including New York Inspector Fernack (Jonathan Hale) is on his tail again. But, matters are further complicated when Professor Bitts turns up dead and Templar ends up being chased down for that. It's a very confusing film, but Sanders is as good as ever. There's an amusing cameo from Bela Lugosi as a gangster just known as The Partner, who has something to do with the diamond smuggling. For B-Movies, these were quite well filmed, and look quite lavish even if they were done on the cheap. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member The saint is accused of a series of murders but it's a looky likey that is causing all the trouble. Bela Lugosi guest stars. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
