Review of The Maltese Falcon (1941) by Joe P — 07 Oct 2012
It took Hollywood three times but finally ,under the direction of former screenwriter John Huston, they go it right. And boy did they get it right. Each character is as despicable as the next, and even Bogart's Sam Spade is a malicious to a degree.
His strict code of honor is essentially the only thing that separates our hero from the villians. "The Maltese Falcon" has been heralded as the blueprint for good noir filmmaking, and filmmaking in general.
