Next - Maltese Falcon - A gallery of high-living lowlifes will stop at nothing to get their sweaty hands on a jewel-encrusted falcon. Detective Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart) wants to find out why - and who s gonna take the fall. This third screen version of Dashiell Hammett s novel is a film of firsts: John Huston s directorial debut, rotund 62-year-old Sydney Greenstreet s screen debut, film history s first film noir and Bogart s breakthrough role after years as a Warner contract player. When George Raft refused to work with a first-time director, Bogart took on the role of Spade - and launched the most acclaimed period of his career. An all-star cast (including Greenstreet, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre and Elisha Cook Jr.) join Bogart in this crisply written sizzler that placed in the top quarter of the American Film Institute s 100 Greatest American Films list. Many say it s the best detective drama ever. Each time you see it, you ll find it hard to disagree.
