FALCON IN MEXICO 1944 (WARNER ARCHIVE)

This is an ok entry in the series.

Tom Conway again stars as Tom Lawrence. In this thriller the Falcon and an artists daughter fly to Mexico when she sees her late fathers painting appearing in New York and the Gallery owner is murdered.

Barbara Wade is played by the beautiful Martha Vickers and she plays off of Conway very well. They discover many suspects in the murder and Lawrence has help from a man named Manuel Romero (Nestor Paiva) who turns out to be a police officer disguised as a cab driver.

The plot moves along well, but they could have used a little more action in the script. However, it is still a great time passer and the cast in excellent as always in these RKO gems.

Speaking of the cast, it also includes Mona Maris, Mary Currier, Emory Parnell, and Pedro de Cordoba.

The ending is a little rushed and if you blink you'll miss it, but it's still an alright entry and well worth seeing...at least once.
