Film
The Maltese Falcon (PG)
Dir. John Huston, US, 1941, 100 mins. Cast. Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre.
Back on the big screen for its 80th anniversary, this absolute classic is adapted from Dashiell Hammett’s novel about Sam Spade, a San Francisco detective’s investigations into the murder of his business partner. Huston’s snappily witty script revels in colourful characterisations of the villains Spade encounters during his quest. Inspired casting included Peter Lorre as volatile Joel Cairo and Sydney Greenstreet as menacingly amiable Kasper Gutman. But it is the fraught, febrile relationship between Bogart’s Spade and Mary Astor’s femme fatale – who persuaded his partner to take on her case– that shapes the deep, dark core of desire, doubt and duplicity pervading the film from beginning to memorable end.
