Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt the beginning of the film, when Partner (Lugosi) ships the coffin-shaped wooden box, he is charged £4 and 6s. That would equate to about $264.00 in 2015.
- GoofsThe mummy's coffin that is shipped from Cairo is obviously different than the one that arrives at Professor Bitts' home. The writing on the coffin that arrives at Professor Bitts' home is neater, the "Paid" stamps are in different locations and the twine around the coffin is in a different location.

Policeman: [after he's shot "The Boss"] Shall I call an ambulance?

Featured review
"Long live the Saint"
Snappy mystery with perhaps a far-fetched premise but George Sanders at his suave and wry best. George Sanders is ahead of the police all of the way and he again manipulates them into succeeded despite their best efforts. The Saint, remarks Professor Horatio Bitts, "has never been convicted of a crime, has he?" OK, perhaps it is a bit much that we all have a double that so resembles us that even our most close confidants would not recognize us. OK, so from time to time it is difficult to tell on a black on white screen whether George is playing the Saint or his look-alike jewel thief "Boss Duke Bates." OK, so what does the "ST" ring really have to do with anything and which character had it in his possession? But consider that in this entry into the series, we have George Sanders cross-dressing and leaping fearlessly on the back of moving vehicles from which he is poised to save a damsel in distress! Not the greatest film, but certainly not the worst of the Saint lot if you include the group done with Sanders brother. The Saint's Double Trouble is better than most of the one hour produced for TV mysteries that we are subjected to today. Jonathan Hale is perfect as Inspector Fernack and Donald MacBride does yeoman service as the Philadelphia police chief of detectives. Bela Lugosi must have needed the work. One of two of Helene Whitney's credited films. Her most memorable line is the closing line of the film: "Long live the Saint."
