Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

shakspryn Tom Conway is excellent--wry and witty. Jane Randolph makes her second and final appearance as a feisty reporter with a yen for the Falcon. She is very lovely, I wish she had appeared in more of the films! Rita Corday, also very attractive, makes the first of her five appearances in a Falcon film. And Harriet Nelson, of Ozzie and Harriet fame, has some sizzle as a suspicious hotel manager. Harriet, who knew? She's quite sexy here! In common with all the 1930's and 1940's series movies of this type, the police are portrayed very broadly for comedy. The two police officers here ham it up to a degree that will perhaps surprise any viewer who has not seen many of these old films. But they are no broader than Inspector Lestrade in the Universal Sherlock Holmes films. Or, though he is not a policeman, Birmingham Brown in the Monogram Chan films. The period costumes are good, especially on the ladies, and there are a couple of great old cars shown--the Falcon drives a stunning white convertible! Conway carries the movie smoothly and well. He's pleasure to watch--both shrewd and fun. The hotel desk clerk is a very familiar face from old films and old TV shows. The print on the dvd is quite good. Not as crystal clear as on the Fox Chan films, or the Universal Holmes ones, but still pretty good. There are some good exterior sets, especially at the country hotel. Recommended.

utgard14 The new Falcon tries to help a woman find her brother and winds up investigating murder and theft of war bonds. Tom Conway eases into the lead role in this series effortlessly. His style is very similar to his brother George, which helps. The character of Goldie Locke returns but with Cliff Edwards playing the role. Edwards is amusing at times but no Allen Jenkins. Richard Loo replaces Keye Luke as Jerry the houseboy, a role that has little reason for existing. Cliff Clark and Edward Gargan return as Inspector Donovan and his sidekick Bates. Jane Randolph makes her second and final appearance in the series as the Falcon's lady reporter love interest. In addition to Randolph, the lovelies this time are Harriet Hilliard and Rita Corday. Edgar Kennedy steals the show as puppeteer Smiley Dugan, handling both comedy and drama in the same film. He also has a big role in the film's terrific climax, which was impressive enough for me to bump the score up a notch.

kapelusznik18 ***SPOILERS*** The high flying "Falcon" Tom Lawrence, Tom Conway, is laid low after a night of heavy drinking and is awaken in his office by Mia Berger, Rita Corday,an what seems like escapee from fascism-Nazi German occupied Europe- begging him to track down her missing brother. Not in the best shape Lawrence goes to this bar where Mia's brother is known to frequent and not only doesn't find him but is knocked out and left outside town in a car that was involved in the robbery of $250,000.00 of US Government bonds where a number of people were killed! Arrested on a tip by the police Lawrence, and later after escaping from them,is now more then determined to prove his innocence by finding Mia or whoever she is in order for him to prove he was with her when the robbery occurred. Things don't look so good for Lawrence when he finds Mia refuses to help him and is later, at the hotel she was staying in, killed by being shot by a sniper while diving off a plank at the hotel swimming pool! ***SPOILERS****Now in real hot water in not only being accused of a robbery of $250,000.00 in US Government Bonds, at the very height of WWII,but the murder of Mia as well Lawrence uses all his wits and savvy to elude the police as well as to get him out of the mess that he now finds himself in. It all boils down to an act of simple reeving on the killer's part who back in San Francisco was screwed out of his life savings by not only Mia but the person she worked with a con artist known as "The Duchess" the tea toting and all so righteous Mrs. Geraldine Lipton, Waynne Gibson, who runs-as a cover for her criminal activities- a woman's knitting school in town. The killer himself is caught in a trap that Lawrence-the Falcon-set for him using Mrs. Lipton as bate.With Lawrence hot on his tail and having really nowhere to go the killer ends up falling to his death as he slipped off the roof of the hotel that he, using an assumed name, worked at!

Neil Doyle Entertaining little mystery with a puppeteer theme among the sub-plots and easy to watch. TOM CONWAY, sounding amazingly like his brother George Sanders who originated the role of the Falcon, does a commendable job of mixing sleuthing with romance.Jane Randolph is good as the romantic interest, but Harriet Hilliard offers little evidence of either acting ability or future possibilities as a romantic lead. She had a much brighter future on TV.The plot has something to do with war bonds but only serves to provide a modicum of interest until the murderer is finally revealed. Edgar Kennedy has one of his more memorable roles here.A breezy entry in the series, very watchable. Amusing to see Cliff Edwards (of "Pinocchio" fame) in a supporting role.
