The story takes place in the city of San Francisco in the 1930s and 1940s. Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart) and Archer are a pair of detectives whose mission is to shuttle between the city Landlord handling the case. One day they received a sale, and a lady commissioned them to find her missing sister. After fully understanding the relevant information, they found that the lady's sister was said to be with a mysterious man named Seth. Originally they thought it was a very simple case of tracing people, but soon they found that things were far from being as simple as they thought. There is an astonishing network of behind-the-scenes and intricate facts about this case.

Archer was killed in the process of investigating the case, followed by Floyd Sears. Soon the police intervened, but the police's conclusion was shocking. They believed that Spade might have an affair with Archer's wife Ava and killed her partner. For a time, Spade not only failed to dig further. The truth of the case is difficult to protect itself. Spade is reluctant to give up, he is still working in secret to investigate the case, he goes to visit the lady and learns that her real name is Bridge (Mary Astor), who has been with Gutman and the gangster Wei Wei. Ermer and others have sold antiques. As they continued to deepen, Gutman asked Spade to ask them to get a priceless treasure - the "Malta Eagle" statue. And that's a very difficult situation for Spade, because for him to get the statue, someone has to take responsibility for Archer's murder in order to hand over the statue.

    American noir is the first glorious work, the birth of a tough guy. In his feature film debut, John Huston built the foundation of the film's noir style with a subjectively limited perspective in narrative and a large number of upside-down shots in technique, while the cold and alert dialogue and Bogart's possessive skillful interpretation are It is plated with a luster that transcends the times. Spade, who is also a tough guy detective, is more cold-blooded and cunning than Marlowe and Scudder.

    It turns out that 7 to 9 pm is not suitable for watching Filmnoir, and I fell asleep 2 times in the middle.

  • 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!
