Date Sold 5/16/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Falcon's Adventure, the 1946 William A. Berke detective mystery crime thriller ("Target for a kiss... or a killer!"; "Murder axis traps Latin beauty...!"; "Blonde beauty traps the Falcon!"; "Based upon the character created by Michael Arlen") starring Tom Conway (in the title role as The Falcon), Madge Meredith, Edward S. Brophy, Robert Warwick, Myrna Dell, Steve Brodie, Phil Warren, and Joseph Crehan. Note that this is one of twelve movies that starred Tom Conway as The Falcon. In the first three movies, George Sanders (who had previously played "The Saint" in a series of movies) played The Falcon, but he apparently tired of the role, and wanted to leave, and instead of ending the series, or having a new actor play the role, he passed it on to Tom Conway in the fourth movie, "The Falcon's Brother" (they played brothers in the movie and in real life they were brothers!) in a clever move, the script had George Sanders' character killed, and his brother, played by Tom Conway, shows up and solves his murder, and becomes the "new" Falcon; and Conway went on to make a total of twelve Falcon movies.
