The Falcon in Danger (1943)

RKO Radio Pictures
Directed by William Clemens
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

The Falcon investigates the disappearance of a millionaire industrialist on an airplane during mid-flight. He mingles in high society with some lady friends in search of clues. It's kind of boring until the end, which takes place mostly in an old mansion and incorporates "old dark house" staples like sliding panels. However, the mystery depends too much on coincidence and the special effects, such as the opening plane crash, aren't too special.
