Quiz
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.

Blooper
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.

Citazioni
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.

Saint in Palm Springs, The (1941)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

The sixth film in RKO's series has George Sanders returning in the role of The Saint but this here would turn out to be his last in the series as he was replaced for the next two films. This time out The Saint takes a vacation to Palm Springs where he gets involved with a strange motel where some expensive stamps have been stolen from a safe. Out of the five Saint films Sanders appeared in I'd say this one here is the best but it still can't reach the height of the first film in the series. This film here runs 66-minutes and is well paced throughout and it also contains a pretty good story for us to follow. The biggest problem with the screenplay is that the ending really comes out of no where and the bad guy is picked out without too much thrill. Sanders never thought too much of this series or The Falcon series but I think he was actually pretty good here. It seems he has a lot more energy in the role but I guess this could have been due to him knowing this was his last one. Wendy Barrie is nice in her supporting role but it's Paul Guilfoyle who steals the film as the sidekick who's on probation and worried about going to prison.
