Film overview: The first film directed by the prolific John Huston, this noir classic created the foundations for the American genre. Variety called it “one of the best examples of action and suspenseful melodramatic story telling in cinematic form.” Detective Sam Spade (a stand-out performance by Humphrey Bogart) gets more than he bargained for when he takes a case brought to him by a beautiful but secretive woman. Trouble follows as Sam gets entangled in a dangerous web of crime and intrigue while searching for what others want – a bejeweled Maltese falcon statuette.
