Frances H 01/18/2021 A pretty poor excuse for a murder mystery, but what I found interesting was that the Falcon's brother played by Tom Conway sounded so exactly like the Falcon, played by George Sanders, and looked something like Sanders as well. At first I thought they just had Sanders voice over Conway's speaking part, but why would they do that? The answer was simple--they didn't--Sanders and Conway were brothers in actuality. No wonder their voices sounded almost identical and they resembled each other so much in facial features, too!

Entertaining enough, but Conway is not quite as good as Sanders, even though he is something of a look and sound alike.

This investigation is good but inferiors to the three films gone before. See more 07/24/2012 Perfectly fine B-movie thriller with George Sanders and his brother Tom Conway exposing a Nazi plot to assassinate a Latin American politician. The fourth in a 13 series run of Falcon movies, Conway taking over from Sanders as The Falcon after this one. See more Read all reviews
