simon templar ( george sander ) and know a the saint and whom everyone believe to be in egypt and suddenly turn up back in philadelphia and at the home of his friend and professor bitt ( thomas w. ross ) . although the reason aren not give in the film and apparently there be some disagreement over simon moral character . when body start turn up with incriminate evidence point to the saint and the police try to track him down . however and it turn out that there be more to the story than meet the eye . i probably shouldn not be review this film until i watch it again ( if i do ) and but i will just revise my review then if appropriate . a it stand and i have to give this film a generous 4 out of 10. while the saint double trouble have promise nice black and white photography and some good performance ( especially by sander and jonathan hale a inspector fernack ) and one of my favorite actor or character actor and bela lugosi and have an odd part in it and and the story seem like it should be interest the script be a disaster . part of the problem may have be that this be apparently an entry in a long running series and and there no way it go to make sense out of the context of the series . i haven not see any of the other film yet and so i have to review this one in isolation . the script end up be largely loose thread . important part of the backstory be neither show nor explain . there be a mummy ( the presence of which get me very interested in the beginning ) that end up be meaningless to the plot ( the little use it have could have be much more easily accomplish by another mean ) . at one point and half of a knife make an appearance a a token of a mystery and but it be never mention again . character completely drop out of the film . bad of all and the plot hinge on the appearance of bos duke bates and a look alike for simon templar and also play by george sander . a can be expect and there be a number of point that rest on confused identity ( that the bulk of the film and actually ) . the problem be that by the end and i be also so confused that i have no idea which appearance of george sander be suppose to be which character and and confusion on this do not seem to be the point of the conclusion . again and maybe this be a fine chapter in a longer story when view with the other saint film and in order . but to start here and i can not recommend the saint double trouble . it doesn not work a a stand alone film .
