Great Tom Conway Classic Film!, 25 September 2004
10/10
Author: whpratt1 from United States

Always enjoyed the Falcon series and especially the acting of Tom Conway who acted his part with great easy and especially since he was on his own in this second Falcon film. In the first series, his brother in real life was George Sanders who played a role with Tom. This film is a typical B film, however, there were great veteran actresses like Harriet Hillard,(Gwynne Gregory), Jane Randolph(Marcia Brooks), and Richard Loo,(Jerry), "The Bamboo Prison",'54, who gave a great supporting role. Richard Loo was famous for his vicious roles as a horrible Japanese Soldier in many WWII films. If you would like to see a very entertaining B film from the past, this is the film for YOU!
