Auction History Result 5p0484 FALCON IN MEXICO linen 1sh 1944 detective Tom Conway and pretty Mona Maris, cool noir art! Date Sold 12/19/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Falcon in Mexico, the 1944 William A. Berke south-of-the-border detective mystery crime film noir ("Original screen play by George Worthing Yates & Gerald Geraghty"; "Based on the character created by Michael Arlen") starring Tom Conway (in the title role as The Falcon), Mona Maris, Martha Vickers, Nestor Paiva, Mary Currier, and Cecilia Callejo. 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 tiny bits of paper loss and some small tears on parts of the folds. It had two horizontal tears in the middle right, with one extending into the "O" of "MEXICO". It had pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
