The Maltese Falcon has certainly passed the test of time. A 40s classic (it's easy to see why) that bubbles with wit, charm and an intriguing story. All performances are excellent, particularly Humphrey Bogart as Sam and Mary Astor as Brigid. They also have an odd, but magnificent, screen chemistry together. A great film.
9 on the DaveScale.
(dir. John Huston, USA, 1941)
