George Sanders played The Saint and later played The Falcon. Wanting to move on to better things he appeared in 'The Falcon's Brother' with his real life brother Tom Conway who then inherits the role for future instalments.
The film was made several months after Pearl Harbour and this is incorporated in the plot with a hunt for renegade Nazis and an assassination plot, you even have poisoned cigars.
The film starts with the Falcon finding out that his brother may have died, in fact he has not and later on the Falcoln himself is injured when someone tries to run him down. Conway takes over to continue the investigation and in the final reel the Falcoln is shot, presumably fatally and Conway assumes his identity.
The film still mixes B movie standards with humour, its mainly played for laughs but its not so interesting and the acting is a bit pantomime.
