    It's completely a one-man show by Bogart, the charm breaks the screen, and Peter Lowe's character is particularly cute, and he contributed to several funny scenes. As for the overall plot, it's actually not very eye-catching. As the most critical prop of the whole film, the process of finding the Eagle of Malta is completely like a white wolf with empty gloves. The detective doesn't know anything. ...but as a black film, it shows the greed and sinister nature of human nature most vividly.

    The pretty suspense is advanced layer by layer, and there are many flaws in the details, but in the end, the flaws do not hide the truth.

The Maltese Falcon quotes

  • [to Spade]

    Joel Cairo: No, no. Our private conversations have not been such that I am anxious to continue them. Forgive me for speaking so bluntly, but it is the truth.

  • Sam Spade: You gotta convince me that you know what this is all about, that you aren't just fiddling around hoping it'll all come out right in the end!
