An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style A One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Falcon's Adventure, the 1946 William A. Berke detective mystery crime thriller ("Target for a kiss... or a killer!"; "Murder axis traps Latin beauty...!"; "Blonde beauty traps the Falcon!"; "Based upon the character created by Michael Arlen") starring Tom Conway (in the title role as The Falcon), Madge Meredith, Edward S. Brophy, Robert Warwick, Myrna Dell, Steve Brodie, Phil Warren, and Joseph Crehan. Note that this is one of twelve movies that starred Tom Conway as The Falcon. In the first three movies, George Sanders (who had previously played "The Saint" in a series of movies) played The Falcon, but he apparently tired of the role, and wanted to leave, and instead of ending the series, or having a new actor play the role, he passed it on to Tom Conway in the fourth movie, "The Falcon's Brother" (they played brothers in the movie and in real life they were brothers!) in a clever move, the script had George Sanders' character killed, and his brother, played by Tom Conway, shows up and solves his murder, and becomes the "new" Falcon; and Conway went on to make a total of twelve Falcon movies.

The poster had tears and areas of paper loss on parts of many folds and pinholes around the edges. There had been tape on the back of the left and right blank borders. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. Someone mounted the poster onto a thin linen with no real restoration, and since it has been backed, it has been roughly handled, causing some creases in the poster and the linen, and causing the poster to slightly "lift" from the linen. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored. Learn More about condition grades
