The Falcon And The Co-eds (1943)

A student (Amelita Ward) at a girls school contacts the amateur detective known as The Falcon (Tom Conway) for help in solving the murder of a popular teacher at the school. When he arrives at the girls school, he finds that the teacher's death has been ruled a suicide. Directed by William Clemens (THE CASE OF THE VELVET CLAWS), this is the seventh entry in the Falcon franchise and it is one of the lesser ones. The mystery just isn't very interesting and neither are the plethora of red herring suspects. The gaggle of RKO starlets surrounding Conway's Falcon aren't much help to the convoluted shenanigans. Fortunately, at a quick one hour and eight minutes running time, one doesn't get bored but it's still a disappointment. With Jean Brooks, Isabel Jewell, Rita Corday, George Givot and William Gargan.
