Wit, charm and the thrill of the chase make the Falcon films so much fun to watch.
In 1941, George Sanders emerged as a suave English gentleman-detective, known as The Falcon. It was Wendy Barrie's hard boiled charm that helped set up the targets for Sander's biting wit and made two legs of the romantic triangles that evolved in his cases that made the Falcon movies such a draw. In episode #4, The Falcon's Brother, Sanders was replaced by his real life brother, Tom Conway. Conway, who seemed more at ease in the role, made the Falcon more dashing and urbane, a private eye with some private thoughts of his own about the various females he encounters. Both brothers enjoyed the pursuit and went after the women like crazy, making the Falcon fun, breezy and light entertainment around the dark crimes they set out to solve.
Filmed in the 40s, these films were B-studio made movies w limited budgets. There is some frame wobble and jumpy scratches between scenes, but nothing to take away from the overall pleasure of watching the Sanders brothers at work as the Falcon. This collection is the first 7 of the 13 Falcon movies made by RKO between 1941 to 1946.
It is the wit, charm and the thrill of the chase that make the Falcon films so much fun to watch.
