A gallery of lowlifes will stop at nothing to get a jewel-encrusted falcon, and Detective Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart) wants to find out why — and who'll take the fall for his partner’s murder. This crackling mystery masterwork, written for the screen (from Dashiell Hammett’s novel) and directed by John Huston, was nominated for three Academy Awards®, made Bogart a star and launched Huston’s directorial career. The all-star cast includes Sydney Greenstreet, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre and Elisha Cook Jr.
