The Maltese Falcon (1941 John Huston)





Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Sidney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, Elisha Cook Jr.,

Scr Huston

Directed up into the ceiling, before Citizen Kane, fast-paced and memorably performed and scripted. Great music by Adolph Deutsch, photography by Arthur Edeson.

The first time I saw this, on 6 July 1978, was at the Gaumont cinema, Oxford Road, Reading. Each reel was a different tint of black and white!
