"I have an Englishman's aversion to arrest."The first film adaptation of one of the Leslie Charteris 'Saint' novels, sees Simon Templar (Louis Hayward) take on the crime bosses of New York in his own inimitable style.
Hayward plays the Saint as a cool customer, wise cracking as he kills off the underworld kingpins. Could this be the first Hollywood anti-hero, capable of as dark deeds as those he pursues.
