It’s hard to think of many greater directorial débuts than John Huston’s first film, The Maltese Falcon. This iconic film noir is almost the first in its genre and also one of Humphrey Bogart’s earliest works. The plot skips along at a breakneck speed. I gather Huston managed to shoot this in order, and that every scene they shot made it into the final edit. This efficiency seems to transfer to the screen, where not a word or movement is wasted. The tension sneaks up on you in this one. By the end of the film your heart is racing and you aren’t quite sure how it got there. Unforgettable performances, a dense atmosphere and an unpretentious but ultimately satisfying plot put The Maltese Falcon easily in the Pantheon of the greatest films ever made. http://benoliver999.com/film/2017/02/07/themaltesefalcon/

By god, sir, this is a wonderful film. Perfect from start to finish, but special mention goes to Greenstreet and Lorre who ooze into the film with these delightful, specific mannerisms that elevate the characters to something so memorable. Bogart, of course, is the picture of perfection--world-weary, sharp as a tack, and running circles around all the other characters. The screenplay sparkles and the cinematography is stunning. One of my favorites.

It has been awhile since I've last watched the Maltese Falcon so when I started a fresh Letterboxd account I thought it would be great to rewatch this classic and to my surprise I love it even more!

Recently re-released in glorious 4K (nope, I couldn't tell the difference, either) but, hey - any excuse to see this wonderful crime noir on a big screen again is OK with me. When "Brigid" (Mary Astor) approaches PI "Sam Spade" (Humphrey Bogart) and his partner "Archer" (Jerome Cowan) with a dodgy s More

This is a pretty good movie that ages fairly well, but I do not feel compelled to pour superlatives down over as most reviews do, both critics and regular viewers. The actors look like they are having fun with it and this classic movie is worth watching just because of that. The dialogue, which I li More

The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter.

Sam Spade is a tough private detective who gets involved in a murderous hunt for The Maltese Falcon, a legendary statuette thought to contain diamonds.
