Not long ago, I looked at all three films and saw absolutely
no connection between Huston's "Falcon" and the goofy Warren
William-Bette Davis movie. I guess I wasn't paying enough
attention to details. Ed's essay (which any admirer of the
Huston film should check out) is a remarkable and convincing
job of research and presentation. Dick Lochte
