The Maltese Falcon was directed by Roy Del Ruth and is based on the novel by Raymond Chandler. I want to point something out real quick: not a single scene in this movie actually takes place in Malta. Does that not bother anyone else? Seriously, that's straight up false advertisement. I can't be the only one to notice that. Come to think of it, this whole movie is kinda shit. The whole movie is filmed in black and white, not to mention the sound quality is all grainy. Did they blow the whole budget not filming in Malta? Come on Roy, give it you're A-game. And don't even get me starting on Bogart's "acting."
American cultural icon my ass.
The gorilla from Congo gave a better performance. Oh, and get this; he plays a private investigator. Yeah, Humphrey Bogart as a private investigator; never seen that before. That was sarcasm by the way. But don't take my word for how bad it is. Here's what the critics have to say:
Ha! You tell 'em, Rodge! Oh, and happy April Fool's or something, I guess."The Maltese Falcon? More like the Snoretese Falcon!" -Rodger Ebart
