This Oscar-nominated noir classic stars Humphrey Bogart as private eye Sam Spade. When sultry Miss Wonderly (Mary Astor) seeks out protection from a man named Thursby, Spade's partner (Jerome Cowan) takes the case -- and winds up dead, along with Thursby. Spade's hunt for the killer leads him into a world of deception and double crossing, as a trio of criminals search for a priceless statue known as the Maltese Falcon.
Here’s a great old murder mystery. Full of suspense, great acting, and great directing. This is a classic "who done it." It’s hard to go wrong with Humphrey Bogart anyway. Add to the mix Peter Lorre as a clever little Chinaman and Mary Astor as the sneaky sympathy seeking fake and it makes for a very colorful list of characters. The question is, just where is the Maltese Falcon. Huh, can you guess? –>Kimball
