Movie: The Maltese Falcon (1941)

Plot: A private detective duo is hired by a woman who pretends to seek information on her missing sister & her lover. One of the detectives gets murdered;the lover gets murdered. The heat is on the detective as vested interests on a Falcon statuette with historical significance is found to be causing all the jeopardy.

 Highlights:

• The intriguing plot itself is a huge plus.
• Humphrey Bogart is such a class act! He displays rock-solid acting stuff throughout the course of the film.
• Dialogs have always been excellent in the very old films I've seen. There are a lot of dialogs in this film too but every single line is insightful & appreciable.

Lowlights:
The reason for the killing of Bogart's associate is not satisfactory.

My Rating: 9.5/10
