In this pairing, we'll be looking at the work of one of Hollywood's biggest stars, Humphrey Bogart! We begin in 1941 and the first time a film featured John Huston as director and Bogart as star, "The Maltese Falcon!" Based on the novel by Dashiell Hammett, the story follows detective Sam Spade (Bogart) who meets a new client who introduces herself as Ruth Wonderly (Mary Astor) and delivers a story of woe about a missing sister and a ne'er-do-well who has convinced her to run away with him. Sam, and his partner Miles Archer (Jerome Cowan) agree to take the case. Miles heads out to tail Wonderly while Sam stays in the office. That evening, the police arrive to inform Sam that Miles has been killed on his stake-out. Sam tries to contact Ruth only to discover she's no longer at her hotel. The police arrive and inform Sam that not only was his partner shot and killed, but the man who supposedly ran off with Ruth's sister, Floyd Thursby, has also been killed. This sets off a decidedly twisted tale of lies, deception, threats, greed, and false identities that spiral into a mystery worth being called a masterpiece of filmmaking! Also featuring the first cinematic appearance of Sidney Greenstreet, along with Peter Lorre, Gladys George, Barton MacLane, Lee Patrick, and Elisha Cook Jr.!
