i like old b detective film and have see dozen . and of all these series film and the falcon film be among my favorite even the late tom conway version ( that be slightly less enjoyable than his brother falcon film ) . it have the usual amiable performance by conway and a decent script ( without the usual bumbling cop here they actually weren not totally stupid ) but be totally destroy by one of the most awful and annoy character i have see in this type of film . in other word and an exceptional film be undone by one major weak link this time in the form of amelita ward a tom lawrence totally obnoxious fiancée . while she isn not hideous to look at and her personality be so bad that she would be the perfect poster child for a retroactive abortion campaign . i simply want this loud mouthed and ditsy dame to die and die soon and hopefully painfully . you can not blame all of this on ward and a i suppose she be just be the sort of wretched character the writer and director envision . however and with so much of the film show excellent and intelligent writing and i truly wonder what be go on here that we do not know about today . for example and could ward have have hold incriminate photo that force rko to put her in the film or perhaps the writer want the public to totally hate her . these might explain the discrepancy between this character and the rest of the film . as far a the plot go and it pretty interesting and be all wrap up nicely and but because ward be so terrible and so grating and i do not recommend this film to anyone but those determine to see every film from the series . don not say i do not warn you .
