The Maltese Falcon (1941) ★★★
Written and directed by John Huston, the film stars Humphrey Bogart as private investigator Sam Spade; Mary Astor as his femme fatale client; and Peter Lorre (the creepy fellow from Fritz Lang's 'M'). The film was Huston's directorial debut and was nominated for three Academy Awards.
The story concerns a San Francisco private detective's dealings with three unscrupulous adventurers who compete to obtain a fabulous jewel-encrusted statuette of a falcon.
The Maltese Falcon has been named as one of the greatest films of all time by Roger Ebert, and was cited by Panorama du Film Noir Américain, the first major work on film noir, as the first film of that genre.
