The RKO “B” picture THE FALCON TAKES OVER was adapted
from Raymond Chandler’s Farewell, My Lovely with GEORGE
SANDERS’ Falcon character standing in for Marlowe. Up to a point
it’s fairly faithful to the book, although Sanders seems a little perplexed
by the whole affair. RKO would, of course, rework it a couple years
later as MURDER MY SWEET with Dick Powell. Here's the opening
ten minutes from the "original."
