The Maltese Falcon is about a private detective from San Francisco and his dealings with three adventurers who compete to gain the jewel-encrusted statuette of a falcon.
This is one of the most popular detective mysteries ever made and is considered by many as the first Hollywood Film Noir although it was low-budget.This stylistic film is a mixture of mystery, romance and is mostly known for a number of memorable performances of corrupt and deceitful villians, including "The Fat Man" or Gutman by Sydney Greenstreet. One of the Film's great assets is the cinematography which includes low-key lighting and unusual camera-angles associated with Film Noir.
