No one was ever better as an acerbic, caustic, sarcastic bastard than George Sanders. Every film he ever made was never below 6 stars. That says quite a bit about his consistency as an actor. He could play the gentleman with ease, or a scoundrel just as easily. He could do comedy in his sleep, and could deliver dramatic roles with equal aplomb. The Saint was actually below his station as a fine actor, but working was always better than looking for the next role. Take in all the Saint films; they are all worthwhile.
