"The Maltese Falcon" (1941)

Forgot that I had seen this before.  Humphrey Bogart as the character Sam Spade.  This is the movie (or one of them) that all the detective/private eye spoofs (trench coats, dames in distress, lots of cigarettes) is based on.  Even with having seen it before, it was a pleasure to watch it again--partly because of all the twists and turns of the plot, partly because of the way Spade's character was portrayed (gruff voice, mysterious--well sorta, trying to guess what he'll say next).
