The Maltese Falcon (DVD, 2000)

A fine old Humphrey Bogart movie that is still exciting. Sydney Greenstreet was so delightful and so was Peter Lorrie. We watch it over and over.

My favorite Bogart movie. I watched my friends tape of it & within mere minutes I was hooked.
Filmed in San Francisco(home!!) and what a cast, Bogie, Peter Lorre,Sydney Greenstreet,Mary Astor.
I can not recommend this movie enough. More than a whodunnit, more than just a chase for the bird, this is superior film making.
There is nothing I dislike about it, maybe it isnt long enough LOL. Just a well done film and if you are interested in seeing a Bogart movie or are just getting into classics -- See this one..
Its better than Casablanca , trust me

The MALTESE FALCON is a true Bogart classic, and this was the first time that I have seen it available on dvd. I am a real fan of Humphrey Bogart.

The Maltese Falcon is one of the best movies of all time i even bought two falcon statutes, i think he realy had the handle on street smarts the way he talked and asked questions and had a real handle on himself and kept his head.

I have always loved the old movies and this is one of the best of the oldies, some like this will always be enjoyed. I will add this to my other collections with these caracters.

The first pairing between Humphrey Bogart and director John Huston proved that many more great films were to come. Considered one of the greatest film noir movies it consists of a complex plot and an enigmatic performance by one of the greatest screen legends in film history. Highly recommend it!!!

This movie set the stage for all the film noire to come.
Bogie's first starring role, the first role for Sydney Green Street, and the inspired Peter Lorre!
John Huston's directing ( his first time out) came togeather with the first rate cast to make a movie that will forever be remembered.
Try it, you'll like it.
