The Falcon's Brother (1942)

An amateur detective known as the Falcon (George Sanders) is meeting his brother's (Tom Conway) ship arriving from South America. Unfortunately, the brother's body has been discovered and deemed a suicide. Although the Falcon identifies the body, he knows the body is not his brother's. Directed by actor and occasional director Stanley Logan. This was a transition film with Sanders, who had played the Falcon in the previous three films, handing over the role to his real life brother Tom Conway. Sanders and Conway were similar enough that the transition went smoothly and the franchise continued successfully with Conway in nine more movies. As for this episode, it passes painlessly but while decent, it's not an especially memorable entry in the series. With Don Barclay (replacing Allen Jenkins as the Falcon's stooge), Jane Randolph, Edward Gargan, Amanda Varela and Keye Luke.
