A classic noir and one of Bogart's most memorable performances as Sam Spade
The Maltese Falcon is one of the all-time great Film Noirs. It was John Huston’s first production and featured Humphrey Bogart as the iconic private investigator Sam Spade. The story was based off of a book by Dashiell Hammett who helped create the hard boiled style of writing in America.<br /><br />The story is set in San Francisco. Mrs. Wonderly (Mary Astor) comes to Spade asking for his help finding her missing sister who disappeared from New York with a man named Floyd Thursby. The problem is people get killed and a bunch of guns get pulled on Spade while he’s investigating the case, and he discovers that Wonderly is involved with two unseemly men Joel Cairo (Peter Lorre) an Kasper Gutman (Sydney Greenstreet) who are hunting the famous Maltese Falcon.<br /><br />This starts one of the main tropes of Noir the endangered male protagonist who is facing all kinds of threats from women, the police, and criminals. Wonderly plays the femme fatale. She shows her money and tries to apply her feminine wiles to manipulate Spade to find the Falcon. He knows the game though. He tries to escape his plight by being smarter than everyone else.<br /><br />Bogart does a great job playing Spade and laying down a series of sharp lines, which was another mainstay of Noir films. For example, at the end Spade says “If they hang you I’ll always remember you.” Lorre and Greenstreet add a real sense of sleaze to their performances which befit their characters and desire to acquire the Falcon by all means.<br /><br />All together the movie is full of twists and turns, backstabbing, and mystery as every good noir is. Bogart really makes the movie, and it would become one of his best known roles.<br />C
