Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The third in RKO's series about Simon Templar, aka The Saint, wonderfully played by the charming George Sanders. This one has The Saint battling counterfeiters while dealing with a rich girl who wants in on the action. David Burns plays an American pickpocket who acts as the Saint's sidekick. Presumably someone thought the contrast between Burns' "dem mugs" Dugan and Sanders' eloquent and sophisticated Simon Templar would be funny. It is amusing for a minute then Burns wears out his welcome. Ralph Truman and Henry Oscar are formidable foes for our hero. Presumably because of the London setting, Jonathan Hale's Inspector Fernack is absent in this one. He's missed. Inspector Teal is the English equivalent, played by Gordon McLeod. He would return in the later Saint films starring Hugh Sinclair. Anything with Sanders is worth watching but this is one of my least favorite Saint films. It's slow-going and not terribly compelling.

'The Saint Strikes Back' was a decent start for the Saint films starring George Sanders debuting in the role. It was a flawed film however and gave the impression that the series had not yet hit its stride.Pretty much all the Sanders Saint outings are worth watching at least once, they're not great films, and 'The Saint in New York' with Louis Hayward in the role had more of the mystery feel and a tougher edge that the Sanders Saint films lack a little, but they do entertain and Sanders rarely disappointed in any film he starred or featured in. 'The Saint in London' is an improvement over 'The Saint Strikes Back', with things feeling much more comfortable, with only the production values really being a step down.Was mixed on the execution of the story, it's light-hearted, fun and much easier to follow than that of 'The Saint Strikes Back'. But some of it is a bit thin, with it running out of gas especially at the end, and there is not much mystery. Instead the banter between Sanders and Sally Gray was more prominent and while some of it was sweet and fun others were childish. The only other let-down really are the production values, the sets are atmospheric but there is the sense that the film was made quickly and on a tight budget.Sanders himself is super-suave, sophisticated and wonderfully caddish, while also giving a charming and humorous edge and delivering some cutting lines with aplomb. Would also say that he is even more relaxed here now that the series in general is more settled. There is a much better supporting cast in 'The Saint in London', Sally Gray is a much more engaging and charming leading lady, speaking as somebody who had a low opinion of Wendy Barrie in 'The Saint Strikes Back'.David Burns bringing a surprising range of emotions to a character that could have been a typical stereotypical sidekick role and Henry Oscar makes for a suitably ruthless villain.All in all, a solid and fun film that improves on the previous film if having a few flaws of its own. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Of all the B-movie detective series made in the 30s and 40s, The Saint ranks around the middle for quality. While not nearly as fun as the Charlie Chan or Sherlock Holmes films of the time, they still are well-polished and fun--mostly thanks to the excellent screen presence of George Sanders as the title character. He's just so witty, debonair and cool that it's a pleasure to watch him gracefully walk though this pedestrian film. The actual plot involving an attempt on the life of a foreign national in order to facilitate a counterfeiting scheme is only okay--not bad, but not all that interesting. And the supporting characters aren't all that compelling, either. However, considering the modest pretensions of this RKO serial, I think overall it did a good job of delivering the goods.

George Sanders is "The Saint in London," having just returned from New York. This time he's involved in stopping a gang's attempt to steal one million pounds in foreign currency and take it out of the country. Along the way, the consulate from that country is forced to authorize the currency production. He gets away from his captors and is picked up by the Saint, but eventually dies.The Saint has an entanglement with Inspector Claud Teal, who nevertheless works with him. And there's a lovely woman in the picture, played by Sally Gray, who insists on being part of the caper.George Sanders was a wonderful actor and gives The Saint a lightness and smoothness, so the movie flows beautifully. It's not much of a story, but the characterizations and Sanders' performance carry it. Recommended for a fun, breezy watch.
