The society's first meeting was held at John's Grill, a restaurant where Dashiell Hammett ate and which he featured in "The Maltese Falcon". The speakers at that first meeting were David Fechheimer, a Hammett researcher and private investigator, and E. Hoffmann Price, a pulp fiction author. The society opened chapters in New York and Japan. By 1982, the society had 110 members in San Francisco, 55 in Japan, and 50 in New York. As its official toast, the society adopted the one used by Sam Spade in Chapter 2 of "The Maltese Falcon":
The Maltese Falcon (1941 film) "Satan Met a Lady". In a new documentary, "The Maltese Falcon: One Magnificent Bird", a blooper reel, makeup tests and three radio show adaptations—two featuring the film's original stars—are also present. Another special feature is a Turner Classic Movies documentary, "Becoming Attractions: The Trailers of Humphrey Bogart". Hosted by TCM's Robert Osborne, the 45-minute feature traces Bogart's evolution from a heavy in the 1930s to a romantic leading man in the 1940s, and his return to playing bad men late in that decade. The film was colorized for television by Turner Broadcasting System and released on video by MGM/UA in
