The Maltese Falcon

Husband and I were the only ones in on this film. The Maltese Falcon directed by John Huston, is a favorite of mine, and I'm always up for another viewing. Humphrey Bogart stars. It also has Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet in his first movie.

Roger Ebert considers it a "great film". The New York Times advises, "Don't miss "The Maltese Falcon" if your taste is for mystery fare." Variety calls it "one of the best examples of actionful and suspenseful melodramatic story telling in cinematic form."
