Ahhh, what a great film. I watched Casablanca and this two nights in a row and these were just jewels for movies of that time. Bogart as a detective hunting down an elusive jeweled falcon that has him avoiding cops, hitmen, double crossing dames and all the while trying to figure out whats going on. The movie really couldn't be any better, the acting is all top notch and the story kept me interested from the start. The pace of the movie really leaves no time for the viewer to wander or get bored, and each act resolves and/or presents new pieces of the plot. Even at the end, I still didn't know if Sam was being played or if he was playing them. It's got great grit and for the time some great male bluntness in the lead character. Highly recommended.

the first and best film noir
A femme fatale walks into a private detective's office. A murder has occured and an investigation is underway. A dangerous attraction begins. These are the essentials of a film noir and Humphrey Bogart and John Huston are the fathers of the genre. This movie is dark and highly stylized. Huston and Bogart did other films before the Maltese Falcon but after this they became living legends.
