      Audience Member one of the better entries in this series from RKO Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Better than average Falcon mystery was directed the talented B-film director, Joseph H. Lewis, which greatly helps the a sometimes meandering story involving the Falcon, his sidekick of the moment, and a precocious little girl in San Francisco.
