Description

Miscreants beware! The Falcon is on the hunt! No mystery can withstand the steel-eyed gaze of The Falcon! Fresh from his success playing The Saint, George Sanders brought his acerbic stylings and cynical élan to The Falcon series of mystery movies. And then he even brought his brother. Suave, sophisticated, hard-boiled and high-minded amateur sleuth Gay Lawrence (Sanders) seduced and sleuthed his way through four films before handing the mystery cracking reins to equally ineffable and unflappable brother Tom Lawrence (Sanders' real-life sib Tom Conway). Admirably filling the gumshoes, Tom Conway would see the new Falcon through a subsequent nine films. Follow the saga from the start with this first volume of The Falcon's adventures.
