Humphrey Bogart starred as
Sam Spade in this Hollywood "film noire" classic, and one of the
best detective movies ever made. This was the third movie made from
Dashiell Hammett's riveting novel, but the only one known by most.
Even Bette Davis and Warren William's starring roles in the 1936
"Satan Met a Lady" is not remembered as a version of the Maltese
Falcon.
Humphrey Bogart's film
career can only be described as that of the Maltese Falcon - the elusive
characters, the mystery, the diverse and multi-faceted nature of the parts
he portrayed. His first 28 films were in gangster style with Bogie on the
wrong side of the law. High Sierra changed that stereotype, and then
the Maltese Falcon presented him as both a hero and romantic lead. A total
of 75 films made Bogart an icon for every film aficionado, and the desire
of every woman.
Grab your popcorn, let the
usher show you your seat, as the film is about to begin. Enjoy the story
of the Maltese Falcon and the life of Bogie as we present it.
