Movie review – Saint #6 – “The Saint in Palm Springs” (1941) **1/2

A brighter Saint entry. Despite the high body count at least it takes place in an interesting locale, Palm Springs, meaning there’s horse rides, tennis courts, bars and girls by the swimming pool. It has a lighter touch with works well – Sanders is in good form, hitting on two different women. The macguffin here is some stamps that are important. Wendy Barrie is back again (why?), as a different character, a girl who wants the stamps. Sanders pretty much molests her straight away – then backs off. Aggressive chap this Saint. It repeats the climax of The Saint Takes Over by getting the bad guys to confess all with the cops listening.
