## Description

(1931-USA). With BEBE DANIELS, RICARDO CORTEZ, DUDLEY DIGGES, UNA MERKEL, THELMA TODD. Based on a novel by DASHIELL HAMMETT. Here is an extraordinary and rarely-seen movie classic that tells one of the most famous and beloved of all mystery stories. The setting is San Francisco, and the hero is Dashiell Hammets tough-as-nails private eye, Sam Spade (played with a perfect blend of charm and roughness by Ricardo Cortez). Spade is depicted as a dapper ladies man who is one-half of the Spade & Archer Detective Agency. One day, a gorgeous mystery woman who calls herself Miss Wonderly comes to Spades office. Her story is that her sister has run off with a man and she wishes to hire Spade & Archer to track down her sibling. That night, Archer is dispatched to spy on the man and promptly turns up dead. What follows is a thrilling drama involving murder and mayhem and a search by various colorful, but desperate characters for a "a certain ornament" that is a twelve-inch-high black enamel figure of a bird-otherwise known as "The Maltese Falcon." In the end, Spade must wade his way through a cesspool of deceit as he does all in his power to sort out the various frauds and fakers. There is snappy dialogue galore, some of it deliciously risque. The result is a thrilling and endlessly fascinating "must-see" masterpiece. Highly recommended. 79 minutes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The first movie version of The Maltese Falcon
  

*by I***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2022*

This 1931 film is the first of three movies based on the classic 1930 novel “The Maltese Falcon” by Dashiell Hammett (1894-1961). All are excellent and worthy of spending time enjoying. The first was made a year after the drama was published. A second followed in 1936 called “Satan Met a Lady.” It is a comedy. The third is the better-known 1941 film directed by the legendary John Huston in his debut film. The 1941 version used virtually the same dialogues as the 1931 version. There is also a 1975 spoof sequel starring George Segal as Sam Spade, Jr. There is drama, suspense, and even humor in how Sam Spade handles the ruthless criminals. There are also several murders in this film noir, including Sam’s partner, whom Sam did not like very much, and whose wife Sam wooed. The gangsters in the film are very dangerous because they lust for the jewel-filled Maltese Falcon worth over two million dollars. A considerable sum in the 1930s. The film is relatively clear, and captions are available.

    Dangerous Female
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2012*

The DVD was of extremely poor quality (when it played) frequent stops. Unable to play at all at about 20 min. into the film.

### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Interesting as film history
  

*by :***) on Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2005*

But no comparison to the later version. I was surprised to see so much of the dialog the same.
