George Sanders returns for the second installment of The Falcon. The playboy is engaged again, but his womanizing draws him into a fake diamond and kidnapping plot. This is really closer to a screwball comedy than a mystery. You've got identical twins, bumbling cops, a dumb sidekick, last second escapes from window ledges, etc. The Falcon's detective skills rely more on coincidence and luck than anything else. It's set in generic hotel lobbies and big city apartments so lacks atmosphere, but still good fun.
