This Falcon film is inspired by a Raymond Chandler story but played more for laughs than film noir. The story is more famously known as the Philip Marlowe, Farewell my Lovely.
In this B picture Gay Lawrence (George Sanders as the Falcon) is in a club when a brute of man comes in looking for his girl Velma and causing havoc.
The police enter the scene and the Falcon goes looking for Velma and discovers he has walked into a trap. The film is high on the comedy quotient and it would had been better to see Sander's play a more hard boiled detective after his stint as the rascally The Saint.
The film is breezy and frothy, a low budget, unpretentious B film.
