During his student days he developed a lifelong love of the theatre, and in 1946 he gave up his medical practice to concentrate on writing plays.〔 His theatre career started modestly. Only one of his first seven plays was staged in London.〔 He sometimes wrote alone, or more often in collaboration, most frequently with Philip King. Their two most successful works were farcical comedies, ''Sailor Beware!'' (1954) and ''Big Bad Mouse'' (1966).〔Gaye, p. 1537〕 In addition to his comedies, Cary wrote stage thrillers, and original works and adaptations for television and cinema.〔("Falkland L. Cary" ), Contemporary Authors Online. Gale, 21 April 1998 〕 His plays were popular with amateur drama groups, and he made a substantial income in royalties from that quarter.〔 Cary died at the age of 92. He never married.〔
