¿Sabías que…?
- TriviaAt the beginning, when Partner (Bela Lugosi) ships the coffin-shaped wooden box, he is charged £4 and 6s. That would equate to about $350.00 in 2024.
- ErroresThe mummy's coffin that is shipped from Cairo is obviously different from the one that arrives at Professor Bitts' home. The writing on the coffin that arrives at Professor Bitts' home is neater, the "Paid" stamps are in different locations, and the twine around the coffin is in a different location.

Opinión destacada
Saint's Double Trouble, The (1940)
** (out of 4)
Fourth film in the popular RKO series is perhaps the weakest. This time out The Saint, aka Simon Templar (George Sanders), is wanted by the police for a string of robberies. He didn't actually commit the crimes and must prove his innocence by tracking down the thief who is his double. I made a major mistake by watching this film first from the series and I say mistake because after watching this many might not want to try the others out, which would be a shame as the series actually delivered some pretty good movies. This one here is without question one of the weakest as even Sanders appears to be bored out of his mind. The biggest problem is that the actual story is just too far fetched to be believed. Yes, I know all of these detective films require some wild things to happen but what goes on here, in terms of the double, is just silly and will have your rolling your eyes. Helene Whitney is also quite boring in her part but Jonathan Hale delivers some nice work. He also gets the best scene in the movie when The Saint is daring him to shoot him. The payoff here is quite nice. Bela Lugosi is wasted in his fourth-billed role. It's a shame they couldn't have spiced his part up just a bit. If you're new to the series you certainly won't want to start here. If you're a Lugosi nut just wanting to see him, forget about it because he isn't here long enough to do much. An all around disappointing entry.
