Last of the Calvert Falcons is the best, not that that's saying much. What helps this one the most is support from decent character actors like Albert Dekker, Ben Welden, Douglas Fowley, and Michael Mark.
This is the 16th and last of the Falcon films based upon the detective character 'the Falcon' created by novelist Michael Arlen (1895-1956, best known for his best-seller of 1924, THE GREEN HAT) in his 1940 short story entitled 'Gay Falcon'. It is the third and last of the extremely low-budget Falcon films starring John Calvert in the title role, which brought the cinematic excursions of the Falcon to a close.
It's been an interesting road for the Falcon, going from the art deco look at RKO to back to the basics in the look of this extremely low budget programmer from Screen Guild. John Calvert who is assumed the role here is quite different from his predecessors, real life brothers George Sanders and Tom Conway.
