Auction History Result 5a535 SAINT IN NEW YORK 5 7.5x10 stills '38 Louis Hayward, Kay Sutton, Sig Ruman Date Sold 9/22/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 5 Original Vintage Theatrical 7 1/2" x 10" Movie Stills (Learn More) The Saint in New York, the 1938 Ben Holmes detective crime mystery thriller ("The man whose daring deeds made daily headlines in his one-man war on crime!"; "Daring hero of a dozen novels at war with Gangland's overlords"; "From the Novel by Leslie Charteris"; "Screen play by Charles Kaufman and Mortimer Offner") starring Louis Hayward (in the title role as Simone Templar aka The Saint), Kay Sutton, Sig Ruman, Jonathan Hale, and Jack Carson. Note that this was the first of the "Saint" movies made by RKO, based on Leslie Charteris' classic character, The Saint (the only one with Louis Hayward, because afterwards, George Sanders took over). However, Charteris often disagreed with any story changes made by RKO and with Sanders' interpretation of his character. Because of this (and to save on royalty fees), the 1941 film "The Saint in Palm Springs" was the last of the series produced by RKO. Instead, they made "The Gay Falcon", which obviously starred the exact same character, but with the name changed (and there were many more in that series). Mr. Charteris threatened to sue RKO over this but the matter was settled out-of-court, and in 1953, RKO handled U.S. distribution for the English film "The Saint's Return" (also known as "The Saint's Girl Friday"), which starred Louis Hayward, who had played The Saint in the first RKO movie! George Sanders starred in four movies as The Falcon. After the fourth movie, the role of The Falcon was passed from George Sanders (who apparently had tired of this role, and wanted to leave) to Tom Conway (they played brothers in a movie called "The Falcon's Brother", and in real life they were brothers!; it had George Sanders' character killed, and his brother, played by Tom Conway, shows up and solves his murder, and becomes the "new" Falcon; and Conway went on to make a total of twelve Falcon movies).
