Based on the wonderful pulp crime novel of the same name by Dashiell Hammett, The Maltese Falcon stars Humphrey Bogart as the cooler-than-cool Sam Spade in one of his greatest film roles. Widely considered to be one one of, if not the first true film noir, the Maltese Falcon is filled with seedy characters all plotting and double-crossing their way to the black bird — a solid gold statue created in 1539 by the Knight Templars of Malta.
