  • Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart) confronts Brigid O'Shaughnessy (Mary Astor) about killing Archer.
    About The Maltese Falcon (1941):
    Academy Award winner Humphrey Bogart stars in this classic film noir as tough San Francisco private detective Sam Spade in the classic, convoluted story of Spade's involvement with a deadly band of international thieves who will lie, double cross and murder to obtain a small, jewel-encrusted statue known as The Maltese Falcon. Sam Spade's (Bogart) partner, Miles Archer (Jerome Cowan), accepts a job protecting a young woman (Mary Astor). Neither Spade nor Archer believe the woman or the story she tells them, but they do believe her money. Then, when Archer is murdered, Spade's search for the killer drags him in the web of lies and death spun by the desperate people seeking The Maltese Falcon.

    Humphrey Bogart set the gold standard for the hard-boiled detective and John Huston(director) set the gold standard for film noir perfection.
    The Maltese Falcon is a great classic!

    Film noir at its best with the cream of talent so suited to this type of film - Lorrie, Greenstreet, Ms. Astor, Cook, Ms.Gladis George, Ward Bond - headed by the actor who embodies the genre ... Humphrey Bogart.

    "...you killed Miles and you're going over for it...". What is fascinating is that even by today's harsh standards, this scene represents a powerfully written interplay between two very dangerous sociopathic characters.

    This is actually one of the few times a remake surpassed the original. Yes, this is the SECOND film version of The Maltese Falcon. Ten years earlier, in 1931 Ricardo Cortez starred as Sam Spade.

    I remember years ago seeing a retrospective on this movie, and how it was written. It was said that the plot and writing of this film was so complicated that the writer and director felt as if this film wrote itself and that the film itself was doing the writing and directing, and that the crew of this film was along for a wild, suspenseful ride.
