The Falcon Strikes Back

The usual mix of murder, romantic entanglement and comic misunderstandings. Not much different to the other films in the series, except Tom Conway is now the lead instead of George Sanders. Dmytryk's direction is good enough given the low budget, but doesn't really show any of the expressionist touches of his later noir work.

The Falcon continues with Tom Conway having taken over his brothers spot in the movie series. These scripts move themselves. So routine. You can just place [random actor] in there for there isn't that much room for any unique personality, though Conway does have that calmness about him, exactly like his brother George Sanders giving it the Falcon feel. Standard fare.
