Rewind, Review, and Re-Rate: ‘The Maltese Falcon’: A Beautifully Crafted Noir Classic

|Updated:

Not Rated | 1h 40min | Film-Noir, Mystery | 18 October 1941 (USA)

Considered by many to be one of the greatest film noir classics of all time, “The Maltese Falcon” disappointed me when I first saw it as a kid. Scenes seemed to drag on forever with just too much dialogue to endure. Its dense, twisty plot confused my youthful brain. As an adult, I appreciate exactly what makes this seminal cinematic work so special.
