The Maltese Falcon is a dull unbearable load of drivel. I didn't buy any of it, Bogart pushing around the flyweight division. I cringed the whole way through. None of the characters are suited to any of these roles. Mary Astor is no femme fatale and Peter Lorre being serious? Come on. Wilmer, now what the hell is this character? One of the worst henchman ever, just to make Bogart look superior. Though, Kasper Gutman wasn't much better. I don't even.. I'm done.
A delightful dedicated cast makes this movie stand-out and when you throw in a good story and a good director we have gold or better known as a classic. Once this movie begins, you are drawn in especially as it unfolds. The character of Sam Spade should have been repeated multiple times as Bogie made it so special. The mystery that surrounds the statuette is done so well that you can't wait for it to be revealed. Consider a snack while watching with a tasty drink. One of the greats and because it is....
Greetings from Lithuania."The Maltese Falcon" (1941) was a bit disappointment for me to be honest. Given the classic status this movie has, i expected more. I did like writing and acting, but that pretty much were best things about it. The story itself did not really involved me. Maybe it would have i would have seen this movie upon its release.Overall, "The Maltese Falcon" is a good movie to see it once, but its not as great as i thought it would be. Some great writing saved it, but that is all.
The movie was the transformation of John Huston from the scriptwriter to the director. His first movie, yet it's the best of his career and one of the best films ever made. This Neo-noir film has a very smart, yet dark hero. He knows how to handle situations, even when he is in trouble. He is able to act brave and burst in anger, even when he is scared and shivering like a rat.The main plot revolves around a priceless Maltese Falcon. Samuel Spade, a private detective get involved in the drama created by the people who need to fetch the falcon.A very thrilling crime investigation movie. You should try it yourself.#KiduMovie
