Product description
Academy Award winner Humphrey Bogart stars in this classic film noir as tough San Francisco private detective Sam Spade in the classic, convoluted story of Spade's involvement with a deadly band of international thieves who will lie, double cross and murder to obtain a small, jewel-encrusted statue known as The Maltese Falcon. Sam Spade's (Bogart) partner, Miles Archer (Jerome Cowan), accepts a job protecting a young woman (Mary Astor). Neither Spade nor Archer believe the woman or the story she tells them, but they do believe her money. Then, when Archer is murdered, Spade's search for the killer drags him in the web of lies and death spun by the desperate people seeking The Maltese Falcon.

- Reviewed in Canada on May 22, 2025Verified PurchaseHumphrey Bogart in one of his best roles. Rapid fiery lines and quick wit. They just don't make them like that anymore. A classic!
- Reviewed in Canada on November 7, 2024Verified PurchaseHumphrey Bogart is one of the greatest actors ever, and this is one of his best movies. He plays Sam Spade who is hired by a woman played by Mary Astor to find her sister. His partner is later killed, and over the course of the investigation he finds a couple of hoodlums,played by Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet. One of them killed his partner and all of them are trying to find the Maltese Falcon, and Sam Spade is in the middle of it. Like all good noir films it is a suspense movie not an action movie. Look out for fantastic performances and great chemistry in this legendary classic movie.

This is one of those timeless classics that I'm actually seeing for the very first time with this release, as I've seen it recommended quite a bit.
The dialogues are great and all the actors brought their A game here. Humphrey Bogart in particular really makes this movie.
I ended up watching it more than once because I enjoyed it so much, and each time I noticed new details in the story.
In terms of visuals and sounds, I can't really compare it to whatever this movie used to look like (haven't seen the included blu ray version of the film yet), but the movie looks really good. There's a lot of rich textures and contrasts, and some really great shots. I think the black and white look of the film adds a great deal to the presentation.

- Reviewed in Canada on August 31, 2024Verified PurchaseA must have for any Bogart movie collection
- Reviewed in Canada on May 28, 2025Verified PurchaseThis classic black and white 1941 film is very different to what the movie-watching public has been exposed in the following decades.
No doubt it is faithful to the suspenseful novel, save for secondary elements that did not meet the censorship standards that prevailed at the time.
Watching the movie calls for much attention on the viewers’ part as events are essentially told rather than shown. Since some of the protagonists are pathological liars, making sense of the plot is demanding. Some of the actors’ and actresses’ poor enunciation and accents do not make things easier.
By today’s standards, characters appear much older than their age and none is physically attractive, even the female lead introduced as a « knock-out ».

5.0 out of 5 stars the falcon flies high...
Verified PurchaseAt least for two reasons, "The Maltese Falcon" is a milestone in the evolution of American genre cinema. First, this is one of the very first pictures that ushered the era of classic film noir. Its bizarre characterizations, twisty plot and cliché-drenched events serve as a perfect template that has been utilized in countless films through six decades after its making. Second, this is the movie that catapulted Humphrey Bogart's career into stardom. He had been a strong supporting character, mostly playing villains (as in "High Sierra" & "The Petrified Forest"). After his performance as hard-boiled private eye Sam Spade, he became a major star.
The movie represents a complex study of human psyche, especially taking a dismal look at human greed and pursuit of self-interest at whatever cost. All characters are well-drawn and well-acted. From cynical, quick-thinking and fast-talking Spade to prissy, gardenia-scented but psychopathic Cairo, there are no righteous, clean or likeable character. Everyone is either honestly abhorrent or has numerous ulterior motives hidden behind their masks, but all converge at haunt for wealth.
Even the "good guy" Spade's morality is questionable. Although he has a strong sense of idealism; his morality shakes wildly when things go awry. Spade might be considered as just crafty as other villains, but he adheres strictly to some kind of robust moral code and old-fashioned common sense that he tries to find the way out in the dark maze of confusion, deception and lies. At the end, he overcomes all obstacles and defeats bad guys, even at the cost of losing a love affair.
Good characterization, tight direction, strong performances and wonderful plot make "The Maltese Falcon" still an interesting & entertaining picture albeit more than six decades have passed after its making.
The DVD transfer is quite good. Black & white tones are crisp and clear, contrasts are satisfactorily strong, audio is all right. Bonus DVD has some interesting extras. 45-minutes non-film featurette (Becoming Attractions: The Trailers of Humphrey Bogart) hosted by Robert Osborne is a nice trailer collection of 12 Bogart films, from "The Petrified Forest" of 1936 to "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" of 1948. 32-minutes documentary (The Maltese Falcon: One Magnificent Bird) deals with book, Hammett and the earlier film versions. Also it has interviews with Robert Osbourne, Michael Madsen, Frank Miller and Bogart biographer Eric Lax.
This 2-disc special edition is a must-have for Huston & Bogart fans, as well as it's a good start to enter the film noir world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic worthy of the title
Verified PurchaseA no-nonsense tough as nails detective of the 40's finds himself caught up in a web of lies and deceit when his partner is murdered and a raft of outlandish characters appear to complicate matters.
Everybody winds up searching for the jewel encrusted falcon of the title and much double crossing and stabbing of backs ensues.
The story though plays second fiddle to a collection of actors who bring their characters to sparkling, seedy, life. Bogart is memorably iconic as Sam Spade, Mourning the recent death of his partner he casually tells his secretary to have the partners name scratched off the office doors & windows and to replace it with "Samuel Spade" instead. His is the focal character around which all others orbit, tough, ruthless and invariably working out a way to escape trouble he forever changed the film hero into something far darker and less morally reliable than filmgoers had been previously used to.
But Bogart was superbly supported by some unforgettable performances, Peter Lorre's Mr.Cairo slithers around the story and never really declares for one side or the other, Mary Astor's seemingly vulnerable heroin turning into something far harder and ruthless and the unforgettable Sidney Greenstreet, all affectation and manners barely covering a towering monster of a man who knows no barriers to his greed.
This is film noir at the height of it's powers and firing on all cylinders, lighting, camerawork, styles and dialogue all combining to make a masterpiece.
This edition is a suitable tribute with 3 versions of the original hammett story including one with Bette Davis.
There are a whole load of extras including cartoons and original trailers and documentaries. In truth the extras are fine and it's of interest to see the 2 other pre-Houston versions but it's the main feature that matters here and so what is wanted is some restoration of the original print. That's exactly what we get with a shimmering picture that is superbly cleaned up and as clear as a bell, sound too is given the once over and although surround isn't neccessary the dialogue is pin sharp and well centered.
All in all this is as good a package as you could hope for and is a fitting release for a hugely enjoyable and influential film, noir, Houston and Bogart were a dynamite combination and watching this remastered version is a real smack to the senses and as Spade puts it " when you're slapped you'll stay slapped and like it!"
