Overview

After two previous film versions of Dashiell Hammett's detective classic The Maltese Falcon, Warner Bros. finally got it right in 1941-- or, rather, John Huston, a long-established screenwriter making his directorial debut, got it right, simply by adhering as closely as possible to the original. Taking over from a recalcitrant George Raft, Humphrey Bogart achieved true stardom as Sam Spade, a hard-boiled San Francisco private eye who can be as unscrupulous as the next guy but also adheres to his own personal code of honor.

Overview

After two previous film versions of Dashiell Hammett's detective classic The Maltese Falcon, Warner Bros. finally got it right in 1941-- or, rather, John Huston, a long-established screenwriter making his directorial debut, got it right, simply by adhering as closely as possible to the original. Taking over from a recalcitrant George Raft, Humphrey Bogart achieved true stardom as Sam Spade, a hard-boiled San Francisco private eye who can be as unscrupulous as the next guy but also adheres to his own personal code of honor. Into the offices of the Spade & Archer detective agency sweeps a Miss Wonderly Mary Astor, who offers a large retainer to Sam and his partner Miles Archer Jerome Cowan if they'll protect her from someone named Floyd Thursby. The detectives believe neither Miss Wonderly nor her story, but they believe her money. Since Archer saw her first, he takes the case -- and later that evening he is shot to death, as is the mysterious Thursby. Miss Wonderly's real name turns out to be Brigid O'Shaughnessey, and, as the story continues, Sam is also introduced to the effeminate Joel Cairo Peter Lorre and the fat, erudite Kasper Gutman Sydney Greenstreet, in his film debut. It turns out that Brigid, Cairo and Gutman are all international scoundrels, all involved in the search for a foot-high, jewel-encrusted statuette in the shape of a falcon. Though both Cairo and Gutman offer Spade small fortunes to find the "black bird," they are obviously willing to commit mayhem and murder towards that goal: Gutman, for example, drugs Spade and allows his "gunsel" Wilmer Elisha Cook Jr. to kick and beat the unconscious detective. This classic film noir detective yarn gets better with each viewing, which is more than can be said for the first two Maltese Falcons and the ill-advised 1975 "sequel" The Black Bird.

    An old classic worth watching

    An old classic, but slight flaw in story line, but most people probably will not notice it.

    This is a movie masterpiece of all time. I enjoy watching this movie time after time. I have the three disk set and two more movie versions, the 1931 verision and Satan Met A Lady. This is a must have movie.

    Maltese Falcon

    I saw this movie when a very young boy when it was first released. I can remember going home that day and telling my father all about this movie. Well each time I see this movie, I never get tired of watching it. As you can see this was a very low budget film with almost all of the scenes taking place in an office or a room.

    I have seen this movie several times on TCM. The last time I watched it was a week ago on April 18, 2009. It was just as thrilling to see it then as it was when I first saw it in 1942.

    A film such as this would make a fine addtion to anyone's collection. All of the actors leave the audience with a memory of fine performances without flubbing their lines. This cast is full of professionals. What really makes this film outstanding is there is no profanity in any of the dialog nor any sex scenes to disgust the viewer.
