verbusen Review of The Saint in New York

The Saint in New York (1938)

I Have No Idea Why He Was There But It was a Fun Ride

[7/10 · 7 January 2015]

I'm a Saint fan so when I saw this on TCM I jumped at the chance to watch it. I'm really only used to the Roger Moore Saint and I never read the books but I also watched one or two earlier Saint films, so that's where I am now. So, my best guess is The Saint came to New York to kill off the entire underworld here. Not sure why. Did they say bad things about the King? Queen? Who knows, but he sure did have a grudge against these guys. The New York police don't know either but welcome him since you know, the system is crooked. So off we go and along the way Simon gets shot and kisses a hot woman who dies (I think), oh whats the point, you know you are intrigued. The Saint is a one man Lee Marvin killing machine. Totally out of character from the rest of the series even to this day, this Saint deserves a watch. A good stiff drink is in order as well or two or three, or however many you wish. Enjoy. 7 out of 10. I have no idea looking back why he was there but he killed a lot of the mob on his way out.
