Gay Falcon, The (1941)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
First film in RKO's Falcon series has George Sanders playing the Detective who must try and track down a jewel thief who's also leaving bodies piled up. This is the first in the series that I've seen and this one here wasn't too bad but it's still not a good movie by any means. The film goes by pretty quickly with some minor laughs but the mystery aspect isn't too interested, although there is a nice twist at the end. Sanders gives a good performance in the lead as he's able to be quite charming and sly in a good way. Allen Jenkins steals the show as the Falcon's assistant and Wendy Barrie is pretty good as the woman who goes to the Falcon for help.
