The Falcon in Mexico is a 1944 film directed by William Berke and stars Tom Conway in his recurring role as a suave amateur sleuth, supported by Mona Maris and Martha Vickers.

[2] Tom Lawrence, aka the Falcon, helps Dolores Ybarra enter an art gallery late at night to supposedly recover a painting that belongs to her.

When the security guards arrive, alerted by a burglar alarm, they try to arrest Tom but he escapes with the painting and goes to the home of Winthrop "Lucky Diamond" Hughes, a collector of Wade's work.

Wanted by the American police for murder, the Falcon finds Barbara, the late artist's daughter, and they travel to Mexico City.

Dolores, searching for her portrait in Tom's room, is surprised by his early return, but when he pursues her into the hallway, she make her getaway.

At dinner Barbara collapses, the victim of poisoning, leaving Tom with a puzzling mystery that may be linked to the disappearance of Humphrey Wade.

[Note 1][3] At the time of its release, The Falcon in Mexico earned high critical marks, with Boxoffice declaring it, "... one of the best of the tried-and-true whodunit series.
