  Box Office Prophets: The Case of the Swapped Sleuths
George Sanders was a refined Englishman who first brought Leslie Charteris' character, Simon Templar (AKA The Saint), to the screen in a series of RKO actioners.
Sanders filled the Saint's shoes for five average-but-entertaining films before RKO developed the character of Gay Lawrence.
Gay was witty, urbane, and, of course, a dedicated ladies' man. Sanders fit the role magnificently, but his star was on the rise in Tinsel Town, and he was soon on the move to the more upscale Fox.

  SALON Features: George Sanders, page 2
Sanders was a trained singer who once signed to sing in "South Pacific." Albums like "The George Sanders Touch" ("a worldly touch -- a gentle caress one moment, a vise-like grasp in the next," according to the liner notes) provided a crooning background for the '50s maneuverings of would-be cads.
Sanders did nothing to dispel the notion that he shared the less than enlightened views espoused by some of his on-screen characters.
One of Sanders' finest achievements, his portrayal of Charles II in the uneven Restoration drama "Forever Amber" (Otto Preminger, 1947), captures the essence of a man utterly disillusioned with life who still possesses the integrity to acknowledge his own emptiness.

Born in St. Petersburg, George Sanders and his affluent family fled to the U.K. during the Russian Revolution.
After his role as the scheming flmailer in Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca (1940), and the same directors Foreign Correspondent (1940), Sanders firmly established him among the Hollywood acting elite with a misogynistic performance in the adaptation of Somerset Maugham’s novel The Moon and Sixpence (1943).
His career slowly began to wane and after a memorable appearance in cult sci-fi film Village of the Damned (1960), he was often typecast in cameo roles as a stuffy upper-class gent, particularly in Tony Hancock vehicle The Rebel (1960) and Blake Edwards Pink Panther comedy A Shot in the Dark (1964).

Various actors portrayed the Britisher (named Gay Falcon, Tom Falcon, and Mike Waring) in the 16 Falcon pictures, including the former Saint George Sanders (1941-1942) in the first four, and then Tom Conway (Sander's real-life brother) in the next nine (from 1943-1946).

 All About Eve (1950)
The ambitious Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter) gets close to the great and temperamental stage artist Margo Channing (Bette Davis) and her friends Karen Richards (Celeste Holm) and her husband, the play-writer Lloyd Richards (Hugh Marlowe); her boyfriend and director Bill Sampson (Gary Marrow); and the producer Max Fabian (Gregory Ratoff).
Everybody, except the cynical critic Addison DeWitt (George Sanders), believe that Eve is only a naive, humble and simple obsessed fan of Margo and they try to help her.
Everything perfectly works in this movie: the direction is very precise and tight; dialogs are very acid and intelligent; Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders and Celeste Holm have awesome performances in very powerful characters; the dramatic story is amazingly good, showing what an evil person can plot to reach fame and success.

It was the face of a man who had seen it all, but was too polite to point it out -- the face of George Sanders, the greatest cad of all time.
Part of the answer lies in its strangeness: a Sanders character is an emissary from a world that no longer exists.
This makes Sanders' feat all the more impressive: virtually single-handed, he sublimated the scoundrel, transformed the bounder into a work of art.
