An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Falcon in San Francisco, the 1945 Joseph H. Lewis California waterfront silk smuggling detective crime mystery thriller ("'Falcon' faces 'Murder King'!"; "Smuggled silk snares 4 to DEATH!"; "Based on the character created by Michael Arlen") starring Tom Conway (in the title role as "The Falcon"), Rita Corday, Sharyn Moffett, Edward Brophy, Robert Armstrong, and Jason Robards Sr. 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.

There are some light and fine creases scattered in various areas and there are some creases and tears of varying lengths (approximately 1" or less) along portions of some edges (especially at right where some are backed with masking tape.)
