The Saint in London (RKO, 1939) was an American motion picture, the third in a series of films featuring the adventures of Simon Templar, alias "The Saint".
The film starred George Sanders as Templar and was produced by William Sistrom. John Paddy Carstairs directed. Lynn Root and Frank Fenton wrote the screenplay based on Leslie Charteris' short story, "The Million Pound Day", which was published in the 1932 collection The Holy Terror, also known as The Saint vs. Scotland Yard.
Charteris didn't much care for the film, even though public enthusiasm said otherwise. He believed George Sanders was cast better than Louis Hayward in the role. Also, he was upset by RKO's treatment of the character's storylines and plots up to this point.[citation needed]
