Review of The Saint Meets the Tiger

The overwhelming reason why anyone would be anxious to catch "The Saint Meets the Tiger" is the bright, charismatic, lively and super lovely Jean Gillie. Here delightfully animated Gillie not only has a lead role that is right up her alley but a photographer in Australian-born Robert Krasker who really knew how to present her super-attractively. The rest of the players – including the rather dull Hugh Sinclair as "The Saint" – in this otherwise rather routine if reasonably pacey entry, don't make anything like the same impression – aside from Charles Victor who registers strongly in a very small role. The direction by the always competent Paul L. Stein would certainly win no awards here. As said, it's competent but routine, serviceable but unexciting. I'd normally give a movie like this one, a seven, but Miss Gillie turns into a top-drawer eight! Available (coupled with "The Saint's Vacation") on an excellent Warner Archive DVD.
