Tom Conway was the older brother of George Sanders. He had begun his motion picture career in Hollywood in the early 1940s at MGM in supporting roles. In 1942, brother George whose contract was shared between 20th Century Fox and RKO, wanted out of the Falcon mystery series. So a clever premise was invented, whereby Sanders would turn over the reigns of the franchise to Conway in a new entry entitled THE FALCON’S BROTHER. Conway became a hit as the second Falcon, and he wound up making more Falcon pictures than Sanders did. RKO used Conway’s talents in other projects; among them were some notable horror flicks produced by Val Lewton. But success as the Falcon would typecast Tom Conway, and after he left RKO, he did more detective roles at other studios.

1944 was my favorite year for Tom Conway, Falcon films; This was due to the actresses that were in each of them. Actresses I came to like for their work after these start-out films.
The Falcon Out West with Barbara Hale before Perry Mason. The Falcon in Mexico with Martha Vickers before The Big Sleep. The Falcon in Hollywood, again with Barbara Hale and the always spunky Vera Ann Borg.
