Film 62 "The Maltese Falcon" IMDB No. 99

When you're slapped, you'll take it and like it.


1941 John Huston
Humphry Bogart is Sam Spade a private detective caught up in the search for a black bird statue.
Brilliant crime thriller, absolute classic. I couldn't help notice Sam's never ending pouch of magical tobacco that rolled perfect ciggies every time like they had just come out of a packet, which probably took my mind off the story a bit.
What a shame the days of men acting like Bogart are gone.
I need to watch it again but after watching the trailer I remembered how good this film is.
I am giving it a 9/10
