Private detective Gay Lawrence (George Sanders) is one of the sharpest sleuths around -- that's why they call him the Falcon. But, in light of his impending marriage to Helen Reed (Wendy Barrie), he's taking a much-needed break from crime solving. At least that's the plan before scientist Waldo Sampson (Alec Craig) goes missing -- and before the goons involved also kidnap Lawrence. Although the gumshoe makes a clever escape, he soon finds himself ensnared in a murder charge.

Audience Member Second in the charming Falcon mystery series is heavy on comedy, with George Sanders interrupting his wedding plans to instead solve a mystery. Nothing brilliant, but entertaining nonetheless. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Sanders is ALWAYS GREAT!!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
