I like George Sanders as the saint. I have them on DVD, and watch them from time to time.
Sadly, the plots of some of the movies are their weak spot. I find I can simply ignore the plot for the most part, and enjoy the ride. If you can't do that, you will probably be disappointed in most of these old saint movies.
In this movie, Fernack (sp?) lends some comic moments. How he always perpetually mistrusts the saint, I will never know. Seeing how much the saint has done for him, it comes across as positively ungrateful. But it's a device used in a number of the movies.
The leading lady isn't bad. I like her acting, but there's more inconsistencies here. Is she an avenging angel, a seeker of truth or a homicidal er...B____ (aka female dog) ? I wasn't sure.
In spite of the plot issues, and inconsistent behavior of some of the characters I still enjoy watching George Sanders Saint. He's usually in control, sometimes suave and sometimes, in his own words, a cad.
