Anecdotes
The Latin and chemical name for a "Mickey Finn" is given in this script as "fulminor curare," obviously an invention for humorous effect. Translated to English, fulminor curare approximates "(to) ensure lightning." The usual compound, but in high-strength doses, used as a knock-out drug was chloral hydrate, ordinarily a sedative. The term is derived from Michael "Mickey" Finn, an early 19th century salon manager who doped drinks to relieve patrons of their cash.

Gaffes
Throughout the film, Simon Templar and other characters frequently handle the three valuable stamps with their bare hands. However, rare stamps should never be touched this way. Skin oil and other contaminates from fingertips will damage the stamps and reduce their value.

Citations
Simon Templar: [about headaches] I have an excellent cure.
Clarence 'Pearly' Gates: Yeah? What's that?
Simon Templar: Stay sober the night before the morning after.

Light but still a lot of fun

George Sanders is really the reason you should watch this film. He is always cool, suave and sophisticated. Rarely caught by surprise. Of the five Saint films he made, this is second best(after The Saint in London). This one has sunny Palm Springs and a decent mystery. Wendy Barrie(once again) is also ok. The identity of the killers is a bit of a surprise, especially the head of the gang, but this does not take away from the fun of the film. Some of the back screen projection(in the desert scenes) is dreadful but there are enough location shots to compensate. Overall fun with a good performance by Sanders. I give it 7 stamps out of 10.
