Auction History Result 8f372 FALCON'S ALIBI 1sh 1946 the law says death for detective Tom Conway, cool montage art! Date Sold 8/13/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 40 1/2" [69 x 103 cm]) (Learn More) The Falcon's Alibi, the 1946 Ray McCarey detective crime mystery thriller ("'Death for the Falcon' - says the law!"; "Killer pins murder on 'Falcon'"; "Crime's most crafty killer pins murder on the Falcon!.. Falcon framed for murder") starring Tom Conway (in the title role as the Falcon), Rita Corday, Vince Barnett, Jane Greer, and Elisha Cook Jr. 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.

Condition: good. The poster has been very slightly trimmed along the lower blank border. It has much rippling along the foldlines and edges and some discoloration due to exposure to moisture scattered in various areas and the blank borders have been covered in white tape. Despite these defects the poster is "all there" and it is a good candidate for restoration. It is likely that most or all of the staining and rippling could be removed through chemical means, and after proper restoration, the poster will look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
