The Falcon in Hollywood is a 1944 crime film directed by Gordon Douglas and stars Tom Conway in his recurring role as a suave amateur sleuth, supported by Barbara Hale, Jean Brooks, and Rita Corday.

[2]While on vacation in Los Angeles, Tom Lawrence, aka The Falcon, meets Inspector McBride at the Hollywood Park Racetrack, asking him about casino owner Louie Buchanan.

Tom hails a cab, driven by wisecracking Billie Atkins to try to catch up to Callahan, an actress at the Sunset Studio.

Hearing a gunshot, Lawrence rushes to a deserted sound stage, where he finds a corpse; he notices a large, unusual ring on the dead man's finger.

After stumbling across the body, missing the ring, in a prop room, Atkins identifies the deceased as leading man Ted Miles, who was married to Roxanna, the studio's costume designer.

Police Inspector McBride questions Dwyer, who seems to have a rock-solid alibi, until his gun shows up in the model shop, hidden in a plaster head.

For otherwise this obvious whodunnit about murder on a studio set is just another indifferent workout for Tom Conway as the suave, intuitive sleuth.
