Sanders' brother, Tom Conway, replaced Sanders as The Falcon partway through the series. Arlen's Falcon was quickly brought to the screen by RKO Radio Pictures. The 1941 film The Gay Falcon redefined the character as a suave English gentleman detective with a weakness for beautiful women.
His most recognized role came from RKO as the detective Tom Lawrence, known as The Falcon, a role he obtained after his brother decided to exit the role. He appeared in ten films of the series from 1942 to 1946.
