Falcon Strikes Back, The (1943)

*** (out of 4)

Edward Dmytryk directs this fifth film in the series, which has The Falcon (Tom Conway) trying to track down war bond thieves. Up to this point in the series, this film here is clearly the best as it deals with a very interesting story and also features Conway in fine form. The story of the war bonds being stolen adds a great interest and I'm sure it was even more fascinating back when the film was released. The supporting cast is also in fine form with Cliff Edwards really coming into form as The Falcon's partner. The film also manages to be quite funny with several neat little twists including a great gag on how The Falcon gets away from the police. There's a little puppet show including, which isn't too good but there's an added bonus of a Goofy puppet and even Sherlock Holmes gets a poke in the ribs during a joke.
