![The Gay Falcon [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51P2v8p667L.jpg)
Gay Lawrence (George Sanders), known as "The Falcon," is a renowned sleuth and womaniser. He has just promised his fiancée, Elinor, that he will give up these pursuits when a pretty woman, Helen (Wendy Barrie), arrives and asks for his help. Happily forgetting his vow, The Falcon agrees to take on the case. With his associate, Goldy (Allen Jenkins), and Elinor (Nina Vale), The Falcon attends a gala party thrown by a prominent socialite, Maxine Wood. During the party, a valuable diamond belonging to Mrs.Gardiner is stolen, and Mrs.Gardiner is murdered. Gay deduces that the theft is really a clever scheme on the part of a group of impoverished society women to defraud their insurance companies. Maxine asks The Falcon to break up the ring but this proves easier said than done when there are more murders and the Falcon himself is nearly killed...

The first of the Falcon movies...
George Sanders sets up the story here for Gay Lawrence aka The Falcon, a lovable rogue who partakes in various crime solving capers, usually at the behest of a beautiful woman. In this first installment of the long running series his weakness for the fairer sex is very prominent, something which diminished as the series evolved. The first of 3 Sanders movies before he handed over to his real-life brother, Tom Conway, in the 4th film 'The Falcon's Brother'...Great stuff
