There was a series of 16 movie made from 1941 to 1949 that featured variations of the character originally created by Michael Arlen in a short story. He was portrayed by George Sanders, Tom Conway, and John Calvert. The Falcon was a suave ladies' man who always seemed to skirt the edges of the law, but always worked on the side of the good guys. They were all lightweight fare, but thoroughly enjoyable. My wife and I are great fans of that genre of old movies that were detective mysteries with a touch of comedy, and that was exactly what The Falcon movies were. Great fun!
