He is joined by an especially strong cast. Regardless, Sanders makes everything seem so effortless and natural. I would argue, however, that his Saint series (which ended just prior to the start of the Falcon series) was so similar to the Falcon that it was hardly a stretch for Sanders. This may have been George Sanders first time out in the role of the Falcon, but he wears the role with the familiarity of a favorite old sweater. The only way to clear his name is to find the real killer. In no time at all, the Falcon is up to his elbows in murder and hiding out from the police.
This promise, however, doesn't last long as a pretty woman with a story of stolen jewelry soon walks into his life. The Gay Falcon, the first movie in the Falcon series, finds the Falcon (George Sanders) ready to give up both women and detective work at the request of his fiancé.
