What Jack Says...
The Maltese Falcon stars Humphrey Bogart and Mary Astor. It is the story of a detective who's partner is killed following a case that a woman (Astor) hires them to investigate. The plot thickens as Sam Spade (Bogart) finds out that this woman is not what she seems and she wants something he can't find.
This was the first movie I had to watch for my screenwriting class. I won't say that I loved it, but I didn't hate it either. I love the classics and I love black and white movies, but I was not totally feeling this one. It might have been because I had to write a paper on it and I really didn't get time to enjoy it because I was so worried about hitting all my points.
This is the first movie I have seen with Humphrey Bogart and I was not impressed. There are generations of people rolling over in their graves right now having said that. I am sure I will see more movies with him in it and I hope they change my mind, but I really don't see what all the hub bub is about.
I give this one a 4
