An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style A One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Falcon in Hollywood, the 1944 Gordon Douglas Los Angeles California detective crime mystery thriller ("Where next will the killer strike"; "Fear Clouds Movie Capital!"; "Actor Killed! Director shot!... Racketeer slain!... as unseen death hovers over a studio in panic!") starring Tom Conway (in the title role as The Falcon), Barbara Hale, Jean Brooks, Rita Corday, Veda Ann Borg, John Abbott, Konstantin Shayne, Emory Parnell, and Frank Jenks. 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.
