The first film was a full feature. This one is more the length of a B Double Feature under card. This one introduces George Sanders to the title role. It is interesting the control that even RKO had over casting.
The creator of The Saint character did not like George Sanders playing the role of the character he created. Still, from this film forward, he would become the Saint for film goers everywhere.
This edition has more action than the first film. It goes at a much quicker pace and plays like an early film noir detective film. It sold a lot of tickets and it even does a great job giving the series new star a lock on his role.
Overall a smashing success for Saint fans everywhere. The plot twists are here for all to see, and the killers are caught with style. More films to come.
