YOU WILL FIND: Reactions and commentary on movies I have seen, including "spoiler" references (because otherwise it wouldn't be much more than "mm, ug, liked it" or "argh, didn't like it") YOU WILL NOT FIND: Detail by detail summaries (because it's not the present purpose of this blog) READ. COMMENT. ENJOY. THANKS FOR VISITING.

"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).
