A Date with the Falcon (1942)

The second in the "Falcon" amateur series, with Sanders in the title role, has Sanders standing up his fiancee, Barrie, in order to investigate the kidnaping of a brilliant scientist for his formula for producing synthetic diamonds, which are badly needed in defense manufacturing. Sanders, always keeping an eye out for the girls, of course, allows himself to be captured so that he may come up with a plan to rescue himself and the scientist, while at the same time capturing the crooks. Light comedy as Sanders continually stands up Barrie, who wants to take an air trip west, and plenty of mugging by the cast keeps the whole thing going at a cheerful pace.
