Summary: Thin Man w/British accent.
Comment: The Saint in London was a nice surprise for me. I enjoy these early light hearted detective movies and the Saint did not disappoint me. George Sanders looked the part of a sophisticated, but rugged hero. He is wealthy, but he easily engages people of every social status. The give and take with the female hero was much like the Thin Man series that I understand proceeded this film. The Saint, though, is not made for marriage for which he makes clear to his girlfriend. He is the stereotypic "Man's Man" and this is a classic Saturday afternoon movie.

Summary: Style over substance. Done on location in London.
Comment: I soon found out that I much prefer George Sanders over the foppish Roger Moore, the tv Saint, 30 years later. An amusing little movie featuring some smart banter between The Saint & his young attractive admirer, Penny Parker (Sally Gray)who helps him solve the crime. She'd jump his bones in a minute but he's too much a gentleman for that. Most of the other members of the cast are rich, idle drones, without much to say. The slight plot is a theft of foreign currency & a murder to be solved. But the best part is the flirtatious dialogue between Penny & Simon Templar (The Saint). Diverting...entertaining, in pre-war London.
