It's kind of cool.. the Cineplex chain of movie theaters for the next year is hosting a program called the "Classic Film Series" where once a month they show classic movies from film history. Yesterday they screened "The Maltese Falcon", which, believe it or not, I hadn't seen yet. Yeah I know.. hard to believe. Going in, I KNEW it was going to be an excellent movie. I mean, for a movie to be around as long as it's been, it HAS to be great. I wasn't dissapointed that is for sure. Bogart is such a classy act. He plays Sam Spade to a T. The film-noir atmosphere is perfect for this type of movie. The dark shadows and rich blacks make for a gritty and intense scene. A EXCELLENT movie, worthy of the term classic. (6.0/6.0)
