Prismark10 This is more the persona of the Saint with George Sanders stepping in the role and bringing just the right amount of dapper and debonair with an element of streetwise knowledge of low life and the underworld.The Saint steps in to foil a currency racket and bumps in to someone escaping from some ruthless gangsters. Along the way he helps a down on his luck Yank and meets a damsel who wants to help him out but ends up needing to be rescued by Templar.The Saint also jousting with Inspector Teal of Scotland Yard so there is a lot of plot going on but although Sanders looks the part this is still a B picture potboiler and nothing more.

a_baron Although it stars George Sanders rather than Louis Hayward in the title role (as in the previous "The Saint In New York"), this light-hearted romp through the imaginary underworld of 1930s London is equally silly. Unfortunately, the wisecracks and cameos are no substitute for the poor script, bland plot and unbelievable characters. It appears too to have been made on a shoestring budget.Three things should stand out for the 21st Century viewer: the obvious back projection in the car scenes, the paucity of telephones, and the ubiquity of cigarette smoke. David Burns plays Simon Templar's unlikely sidekick, and the love interest is provided by Sally Gray as flibbertigibbet Penny Parker.

whpratt1 Enjoyed this great Classic 1939 film in black and white and enjoying the very young George Sanders as Simon Templar/The Saint who is investigating a counterfeit ring of crooks in London and is working with Scotland Yard without the local London police knowing just what he is doing. Sally Grey, (Penelope,'Penny' Baker) is a sweet sexy looking blonde who never seems to want to leave Simon Templar and follows him everywhere he goes no matter where it is and how dangerous it might turn out to be. Simon Templar hires a pickpocket goon to become his Valet named Dugan who sure has a definite New York accent with all his strong "R's" being pronounced through out the picture. If you are a big fan of George Sanders, this film you will definitely enjoy viewing.

Chris Gaskin During the New Year period at the beginning of 2006, BBC2 shown four Saint movies in the mornings and this was one of them.In this one, the Saint is in London and is assigned to investigate a load of forged currency. People involved in this include a woman and Count Duni.George Sanders stars as the Saint and the cast also includes Sally Gray and Henry Oscar.The Saint In London isn't brilliant as it tends to be a little slow moving at times but is certainly worth a look at. Not too bad.Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
