The Saint's Vacation 1941 6 out of 10
The Saint’s Vacation features a new lead
actor in the role of Simon Templar. Hugh
Sinclair just didn’t really have the same swagger as The Saint as George
Sanders did. In this story the Saint is
on Vacation -but like Angela Landsbury in Murder She Wrote –there is no such
thing as a Vacation for someone like the Saint.
Travelling with a nervous friend
he is trying to hide from a bunch of newspaper reporters. One persistent female reporter is able to
track him down and gets involved in his adventure.
The story features the
Saint getting mixed up in the quest for a “McGuffin” in this case a mysterious
box. Once the Saint gets involved and
gets possession of the box it becomes a deadly game of switch a roos and misdirection. It was a fast-paced film with a lot of old
school crime story, but never really grabbed my attention since I was wishing Sanders
was still in the role.
