The Falcon In Mexico actually has some scenes filmed in Mexico. It's the 9th film in the series and the 2nd to come out in 1944. It's got a script by Gerald Geraghty and George Worthing Yates. It's the 3rd Falcon script, out of 4, for Gerald. George only wrote the one Falcon script but he would go on to write some classic SF films in the 1950s. You might have seen Them!, It Came From Beneath The Sea, Earth Vs The Flying Saucers or The Amazing Colossal Man. Maybe some of them aren't classics but they're still entertaining. William Berke helms the directors chair.
The Falcon, still Tom Conway, gets involved with a woman who leads him to a dead body. She's the model in a painting and that leads the Falcon to Mexico. Nestor Pavia, Mona Maris and Martha Vickers are in the cast. Nestor has 305 different credits on the IMDb for all the movies and TV shows he's been in his 31 year career. You would have seen him in many interesting movies. Martha's next role would be Carmen Sternwood in The Big Sleep. Back in Mexico the Falcon wraps everything up after a while and I had a good time getting there with him. The movie keeps up the level of entertainment like the other films in the series. Back to the US for the next one.
