Episode #176

The Maltese Falcon

(1941)

 

The stuff dreams are made of! Our first dyed and true NOIR has finally arrived here on the AFI’s list, and boy howdy is it a cracking good time. Femme fatales, druggings in drinks, secret shooters, an ancient treasure, stabs in the back, and fast-talking jive, baby, see? Bogart is peak Bogart, the script is snappy, the characters are all angry cynics . . . and someone killed Spade’s partner. Better believe we gon’ get to the bottom of it!
