When his partner is killed on a routine tail job, Spade is pulled into the orbit of a mysterious woman, a sinister foreigner, and a hulking brute—all desperate to get their hands on a priceless statue; the elusive Maltese Falcon. As the bodies pile up, Spade navigates the murky underworld with a cold detachment, playing a dangerous game of wits to uncover the truth. In the end, loyalty is a luxury, trust is a weapon, and everyone’s after the same thing: the black bird.Guests:Jen and SarahHosts of Movies and Us podcast@moviesanduspod on IG, TikTok, YouTubeOn MediumChapters:00:00 Introduction and Guest Introductions01:29 Getting to Know - Jen and Sarah10:59 Cast and Recognition for The Maltese Falcon13:49 Relationship(s) to the Film17:57 What is the Maltese Falcon About?19:22 Is The Maltese Falcon THE Film Noir?23:51 Humphrey Bogart's Performance as Sam Spade28:28 Plot Summary for The Maltese Falcon29:26 Did You Know?30:59 First Commercial Break31:46 What's Happening at Movies and Us?33:17 Ask Dana Anything38:20 Best Performance(s)49:48 Best/Favorite/Indelible Scene(s)01:02:28 Second Commercial Break01:03:14 In Memoriam01:05:39 Best/Funniest Lines01:09:21 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy01:15:32 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:21:30 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty01:29:59 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness01:36:51 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability01:41:11 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Total Score01:42:48 Remaining Questions01:51:25 Thank You to Our Guests / Final Thoughts01:54:46 CreditsYou can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast) or find our Facebook page at Greatest Movie of All-Time Podcast.Find the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/WAxQ7wsxhhcFor more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com//post/the-maltese-falcon-1941-ft-jen-and-sarahFor the entire rankings list so far, go to:Full Graded List - Greatest Movies of All-Time Ronny Duncan Studios Keywords:podcast, movies, film noir, The Maltese Falcon, Humphrey Bogart, greed, money, iconic performance, Sam Spade, charismatic, cool demeanor, trivia, Maltese Falcon, film noir, industry recognition, public reception, iconic lines, memorable scenes, lasting legacy,...
