a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

This was the second of four Falcon features produced by Maurice Geraghty in which his brother Gerald was a contributing writer; he assisted Ardel Wray with adapting her story based on the Michael Arlen character. In this B crime mystery drama, directed by William Clemens, Tom Conway plays Tom Lawrence, aka The Falcon, and actress Isabel Jewell (among others) joins series regulars Jean Brooks, Rita Corday, and Amelita Ward whereas George Givot joins Cliff Clark and Edward Gargan, among the other actors. Ian Wolfe also appears uncredited as an undertaker; Leonard Maltin's guide also credits Dorothy Malone among the uncredited co-eds.Jane Harris (Ward) calls the police to ask Detective Bates (Gargan) for the Falcon's phone number because she wants him to investigate the murder of a professor at her all girls Bluecliff college. Bates responds but is then asked by Inspector Timothy Donovan (Clark) what department he's in, to which the detective responds "homicide". But as usual, the Falcon will lead the investigation and the police will fade into the background (in this one, more so than in others in the series).Once on campus, the Falcon goes by Tom Lawrence, insurance investigator, to keep the as-yet-unknown suspects from knowing that he's looking into the professor's death as if it weren't accidental, as the death certificate had been signed by the college's psychology professor Dr. Graelich (Givot). The doctor tells Lawrence that the cause of death was actually suicide and that he was trying to cover it up to prevent a scandal at the request of the school's headmaster Miss Keyes (Barbara Brown). But Bates too is soon found dead by fencing sword, a death foreseen by a mysterious and psychic student named Marguerita Serena (Corday), which adds school play producer Vicky Gaines (Brooks) to the list of suspects. Another curious ever- present person is the music teacher, Mary Phoebus (Jewell).Comic relief is provided by the three Ughs, Miss Bates's precocious nieces who must stay on campus, played by Nita Hunter aka Juanita Alvarez, Ruth Álvarez, and Nancy McCollum.

The Falcon films, both with George Sanders and Tom Conway in the lead role, are on the most part very enjoyable. There are some very good ones like the first two Sanders Falcon films and 'The Falcon Strikes Back', though also a few disappointments like 'The Falcon in Danger'.Generally, 'The Falcon and the Co-Eds' is one of the most entertaining Falcon films and one of the better ones too. By all means, it could have been a little bit better, with it getting off to a sluggish start and while the film is never dull once and has a diverting story with some great and wonderfully unusual twists and turns (with a very surprising reveal), it occasionally feels a little rushed as a result of the running time being as short as it is and there are a couple of loose ends that confuse things a little.However, The music is lively and haunting enough, and on the most part the production values are slick and atmospheric with particularly nicely done photography. William Clemens directs efficiently. Further advantages are a very playful script with dialogue that crackles with wit and a mostly absorbing story that is never less than bright, breezy and fun with some suspense, great twists and turns and a very exciting climax.Conway continues to thrive and enjoy himself as the title character, everything that Sanders brought to the role are also present in Conway's performance and with full impact. Cliff Clark and Edward Gargan's comedy is more understated this time round, but they are nonetheless amusing still. There are some great female characters too, Rita Corday is alluring and sassy and Amelita Ward is significantly less annoying than in the previous Falcon film.It is true though that one of 'The Falcon and the Co-Eds' biggest delights is the 3 Ughs, such delightful characters performed with the perfect balance of sultriness, charm and often hilarious comic timing.Overall, among the most entertaining and best of the mostly very enjoyable Falcon series. 7/10 Bethany Cox

This is an old time very good who dunnit. The Falcon series produced some very well done movies. The three girls who play the Ugh sisters are a riot and can sing extremely well. The homicide detectives are in several of the movies and are there pretty much as comic relief as the Falcon always solves the cases. The role of the sergeant shows basically an idiot who would not be a sergeant on any competent force and probably would not even be a cop at all. In this movie it turns out to be the love lorn plain Jane type of an assistant who married the handsome foreigner who just wanted to be able to come to America who is the manipulative killer. This kind of shows up about half way through the movie but is proved at the end.

The Falcon is my favorite B-movie detective series, largely because of the presence of the charismatic, suave and self-deprecating Tom Conway (who took over the role from his real-life brother, George Sanders). Conway was as cool as Bogart, but in place of Bogie's cynicism, Conway possessed a wonderful mix of wry sagaciousness, skepticism, self-awareness and chivalry. The Falcon And The Co-Eds is arguably the best of the series, with an exceptionally clever mystery plot, a very talented cast and some incomparable interplay between Conway and the various title Co-Eds. Once seen, the "3 Ughs" are never-to-be-forgotten. I've seen The Falcon And The Co-Eds a half-dozen times, and it has always given me genuine pleasure.
