THE GAY FALCON
(RKO Radio)
[NTRODUCING a new series of crime-comedies, with a hero who fools the police and the crooks, and makes a fool of himself over women. This
gentleman-adventurer is known as "The Gay Falcon,’ and George Sanders portrays him in an able, if conventional, manner. Plot and technique in the mystery matter less than the direction and presentation of the picture. Easy, enjoyable entertainment. * % P OLIN TAPLEY, the New Zealand actor who achieved a measure of success in Hollywood, is now FlyingOfficer Colin Tapley, of the Royal Canadian Air Force, being stationed at Toronto as a Link Trainer instructor. He joined the R.C.A.F. in company with another film actor, Bert Coote, who
f appeared in The Charge of the Light Brigade and A Yank at Oxford. Coote is also a Link Trainer instructor, * %* % NINETEEN-FORTY-ONE in films is 1928 all over again. With one great difference. In 1928 English production was lagging behind Hollywood, compromising, too, waiting on events. In 1941
English production is independent and alert. We make fewer films these wardays, but most of what we make is better than before. For the first time since the British industry came of age, it is forced to turn every penny, every free technician, every plank of wood and strip of hessian to good dccount.
