The Maltese Falcon (USA 1941 PG)
The October offering at Corrie Film Club is the suspenseful, labyrinthine and brilliantly cast classic from director John Huston, The Maltese Falcon. It’s classic film noir in which Humphrey Bogart defines the archetypal film private eye – insolent, cynical but a man of honour.
Who murdered Miles Archer? No one knows but what Archer’s partner, private eye Sam Spade, does know is that Archer was killed while investigating the disappearance of a priceless statue and now he has three mysterious clients who want him to find it – at any cost.
