Featured review
one of the cheesier Falcon chapters
Another Falcon mystery, starring the usual crew, Tom Conway and Jean Brooks. When a plane crash lands, they find it completely empty. A mystery, since a millionaire is now missing. The other passengers were left behind at the last stop. The coppers track down the falcon to assist, and find him in a speakeasy, of course. When the kidnappers demand ransom, the falcon tries to figure out who is behind it all. And how is the antique store involved in this? You'll recognize Clarence Kolb, as the kidnap-ee... he was always the wise old senator, or the rich old uncle. This one goes all over the place, but it's watchable. Except for the annoying, screeching girlfriend (Amelita Ward) she's yackety yack the whole film. Directed by the usual Bill Clemens. This one is an RKO shortie, at 69 minutes. A roller skating rink? Really??
