The Maltese Falcon

Double Feature with CASABLANCA

1941, dir John Huston w/Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Sidney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, 100 min, 35mm

CASABLANCA may be the film most identified with the “Bogie Cult” at the Brattle but, for our money, THE MALTESE FALCON is every-bit as entertaining and re-watchable. In John Huston’s crackling film noir, Bogart embodies Dashiell Hammett’s hardnosed but intellectual private eye Sam Spade as he finds himself on the hunt for an elusive black bird statue thought to be a priceless treasure.

A "Double Feature" ticket additionally allows admission into the 7:00PM screening of CASABLANCA. No additional purchase is necessary.
