Move review – Saint #8 - “The Saint Meets the Tiger” (1941) **

Hugh Sinclair’s second and final Saint is actually quite brisk and enjoyable in an unpretentious British way (where this was filmed – it was distributed by Republic). He visits a seaside town and gets involved in smugglers. The cast lacks potency but it’s brisk, Sinclair brings back the little dagger flick that George Sanders used, and he also gets fresh with a girl naturally who falls in love with him. Sinclair is an odd actor – kind of too skinny with a funny shaped head and moustache, but you do get used to him.
