An excellent performance by Sanders as the debonair thief turned detective, well matched with beautiful British actress Sally Gray. Gray plays a socialite and their scenes together are memorable, special thanks to veteran British director John Paddy Carstairs, who later directed episodes for THE SAINT tv series, starring Roger Moore. Carstairs was also a noted author and artist.
Here, Simon Templar is back in London, tracking bank note counterfeiters who resort to murder. And is he on their list? A very entertaining mystery, well written by Frank Fenton, who also wrote some episodes for THE FALCON, starring Sanders' brother, Tom Conway. This series entry boasts some fine character actors, such as David Burns, playing sly pickpocket Dugan, determined to go straight, and Gordon McLeod as the police inspector, a role he would repeat again.
This is Sanders film all the way, who had just finished CONFESSIONS OF A NAZI SPY. A class act.
Get the SAINT series dvd box set, five films in all, remastered by Warner Brothers. 2 dvds. 2011.
