The Saint in Palm Springs

The Saint in Palm Springs

The Saint in Palm Springs is a crime melodrama released by RKO Pictures in early 1941. The film continued the screen adventures of the Robin Hood-inspired anti-hero, Simon Templar, alias "The Saint", created by Leslie Charteris. This sequel was based upon a story by Charteris; however, many changes to his concept were made. Charteris later novelised his version of the film story as the novella "Palm Springs", contained within the collection The Saint Goes West. This was the sixth of eight in RKO's film series about The Saint. The central cast was identical to the previous entry, The Saint Takes Over. George Sanders returned as Templar (his final performance in the role), with Jonathan Hale making his own final appearance as Inspector Farnack. (The character would next be seen in The Saint in Manhattan, a 1980s television pilot.) Wendy Barrie makes her third and final appearance, once again playing a different character, as does Paul Guilfoyle, reprising the role of Clarence "Pearly" Gates from the previous film. The storyline involves The Saint pursuing rare stamps at a Palm Springs, California hotel.

Mr. Evans:
How did you get here?

Simon Templar:
You'd better ask my horse.

Clarence 'Pearly' Gates:
Isn't that just my luck! I spend all my time lookin' for lost kids and old ladies' glasses, and the first time there's a real crime, there ain't no corpus delicious!

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.

Simon Templar:
Are you sure you robbed everybody?

Clarence 'Pearly' Gates:
All the new guests - all except Mr. and Mrs. John Harper.

Simon Templar:
Who are they? How did you skip them?

Clarence 'Pearly' Gates:
They checked out an hour before they got here. He got a telegram he was gonna be a grandfather or somethin'.

Simon Templar:
Are you positive?

Clarence 'Pearly' Gates:
You see, I figured that anybody who checked out might be the guilty party, so I checked up on who checked out. They was the only ones.

Simon Templar:
You think of everything - when you think.

Insp. Henry Fernack:
[to the two detectives the Saint has handcuffed together] Well, you'd better go down to the police garage and borrow a file. When you get those things off, you better use it to sharpen your wits.

Charlie - Desk Clerk:
Oh, how do you do, Mr. Templar? We've been expecting you. So, you're the man they call "The Saint"... the modern Robin Hood!

Simon Templar:
Really, I'm a remarkably bad shot with a bow and arrow, and I've never tasted venison in my life.

Chief R.L. Graves:
Well, let's have it. What have you been up to?

Clarence 'Pearly' Gates:
Chief, I've been so good, it's been monogamous!

Simon Templar:
[to the arrested murderer] Where would you prefer to be executed? Sing Sing or San Quentin?
