Maltese Falcon - trailer

[locojohnston]

STRANGE drama!

[asskickingman1]

the book was fucking awesome

[AmazingTrollHero]

just finished teh novel , it was pretty good

[rycka1983]

Bad acting and too much kissing.

[Cleon29Warrior]

@rycka1983 Yeah, and too much special effects. I don't like this new movies either.

[TheDrYes]

maltese falcon

casablanca

treasure of the sierra-madre

key largo

the big sleep

to have and have not

and dark passage

some of the greatest films of all times with one thing in common

[FandangleProductions]

Humphrey Bogart in the Maltese Falcon. I'm amazed at the old movies. Their story telling skills, lighting and cinematography and the actors. You don't get movies like these today. What do you think?

[floridafyme]

@FandangleProductions  I think you're right.

[HeartLocker]

One of the most brilliant movie ever.

Just like an old school Christopher Nolan in 40's.

[meatloaf928]

humphrey bogart was a great actor, casablanca proves it

[warnutztheloser]

i need money

[Johnlindsey289]

Did you folks know that was a remake? it's based on a crappy 1931 movie that had poor execution, this one improved on it. One of the best remakes of all time

[50sAllTheWay]

This movie may be the best film noir I've seen, and even one of my all time favourite movies. It's an exciting and well made story, and most of all a great artistic part with brilliant actors and gives the perfect film noir feeling.

And of course the clothing is perfect

[TheDrYes]

why is it in every movie hes in sydney greenstreet monolouges at the start of the trailer

[CoreVfx]

La noire review brought me here

[TheDrYes]

@CoreVfx how does it relate to la noire other than the detective story

[Famas4925]

story like the LA NOIRE

[oliewy]

L.A Noire is a game version of this, same story.

[masterman3178]

@oliewy and thats the only reason i looked this up lol

[oliewy]

@masterman3178 yeah,lol

[TanWeiHou]

@masterman3178 same

[voidforpurpose]

Mary Astor was the only miscast element.

Maureen O'Hara, circa "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", would have been closer to the ravishing characer in the novel.

But a classic equal to Bogart's "The Big Sleep".

[RuflessRecords]

I have to downgrade this movie from great to good, after seeing it again. I think all the hype went to my head when I saw it the first time.

The lines are a little too slick, the female love interest isn't a great actor really, and the plot is slightly convoluted, especially early on when they rush together the murders of Archer and Thursby within seconds.

I hereby change my opinion from best 40's detective movie to top 5 40's detective movie.

Bogart, Lorre, Greenstreet all good.

[BarneyGoogle1950]

@RuflessRecords I'm upgrading the film again to one of the greatest films hollywood ever made.

[IgnotusPerIgnotium]

I love this movie, long live Bogie!

[326Ka]

im 32 and love bogart he was a cool cat.

[Raquethands]

Ah, Peter Lorre. Such a treat.

[GiantEnemyCrab63]

WHO THE FUCK IS THIS GUY?

HE MAKES MAD $ OFF OF CRIME.

AND PLAYS THE SHIT OUTTA WOMEN.

HES AS FAST AT KICKING PEOPLES ASS...

AS HE IS AT PLANNING TO KICK PEOPLES ASS.

HUMPHREY BOGART IS ONE MEAN LADY KILLIN' CRIME SOLZVIN MACHINE.

[seriouslycoolchic]

@TheChicagogodfather  no, Maltese are Maltese.

[thomasverm1]

Love the Metal Gear Solid alert noise at 0:34.

[Wild2Do]

It is comforting knowing I have the Maltese Falcon it is sitting on my bar. It is just a black plaster mold because you didn't need to paint it back then.

[mrboppman1]

@Wild2Do i havr the falcon

[Agent1W]

@mrboppman1 Yeah, and I'm Sam Spade lol.

[mrboppman1]

@Agent1W I have a replica made by the studio in commemoration of the filml the original sold for several million ,and was far larger than mine.and the tail part was bent when Bogart dropped itThe original was made of heavy metal

[Agent1W]

@mrboppman1 LOL I bet people are going crazy over getting that replica. You never know...it could be worth a LOT more than we realize. It's a mystery!

[TheChicagogodfather]

are maltese italian

[Msdoremifasollatido]

@TheChicagogodfather no, the maltese island are situated in the middle of the mediterranean sea and are totally independent from italy or any other country

[TheChicagogodfather]

@Msdoremifasollatido hmm i read somewhere that they were ok

[CharlieReddog]

One of the best ever.

[DannyGrowth]

This really holds up well after all this time. This and the Big Sleep. I've been reading old detective fiction, the Raymond Chandler books especially and they are incredible. Seriously, do yourself a favor and read those and Hammett. These writers put modern day mystery writers to SHAME.

[MrMarkspub]

A classical masterpiece. Hollywood at its best.

[gammafoxtrot]

The Maltese McGuffin!

[ToUnfortunate]

Humphrey Bogart is super handsome!

[coolboy215]

fantastic !!!

[larryking85]

i have to read this for school can any one help me im confused about this book give me a summary on it please and thanks

[timpani25]

once a king, always a king, but once a knight is enough.

[TheDan2000]

EXCELLENT

[doctorpsycho1960]

So, the Knights of Malta were based on Malta but were not Maltese themselves. A nice distinction but one worth making.

Next I will find out that the falcon was actually Cypriot, I suppose....

[crabsgetsmart]

the knights of malta really existed they came from rodes but they had to live in malta so they were like maltese its complicated but i know because im maltese myself

[TenderTrap86]

You're from Malta? I would like very much to go there one day. Much more than any other place. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[crabsgetsmart]

im actually from gozo which makes parts of the maltese islands in my opinion gozo and malta are very beautiful for countryside and heritage. maltese people are very friendly and i hope you will come one day were are you from? happy new year :)

[TenderTrap86]

I'm an American and live outside New York. I've read about about Malta and how compared to America and continental Europe, it's still an old fashioned place that treasures it's traditions and families . I'm also a Roman Catholic and I'd love to visit the old churches there and maybe take part in a feast day celebration. American Catholics don't celebrate festivals like other Catholics in parts of Europe and Latin America. Also, I'm 23 and would really like to meet some pretty Maltese girls.

[nJjJkJfan]

lol im maltese too im from malta

[crabsgetsmart]

[supernaturalaholic]

[kombelpeter]

Yes, it's worth it!

[doctorpsycho1960]

Is your first name Corto ? :-)

[cheerXcheer3]

haha noo its not.. im a girl;]

[ElderScribe]

You sir, are a fucking idiot.

Bogart was married four times, the ONLY time things got rough was with his third wife, Mayo Methot..and the rep of beating on the spouse was her's NOT Bogart, Bogart never had a rep with harming any of his wives before or after Methot.

She was a loud, obnoxious alcoholic who stabbed Bogart in the shoulder, threatened him with a loaded revolver and was given the nickname "Sluggy" because of her violent ways while she was boozed up.

You know nothing.

[inkenyo]

I love Bogie and I tried this movie... but I just don't get the ending... I have no idea about it... Most people don't understand The Big Sleep, but I did. I just don't get the ending. Am I just an idiot? lol. I tried watching it twice... Is Bogie bad or was he putting on an act for the girl????

[SariaMew456]

As a detective, Spade (his character) can't let himself get emotionally attached to anyone involved in the cases because it leaves him vulnerable. It breaks his heart to have to turn in the girl but he has to do it anyway, and he realizes just how emotionally cold he's become.

(...And I only got that after seeing the movie three times, reading the novel and having it spelled out for me by somebody else, LOL. So no, you're not an idiot.)

[inkenyo]

Poor Bogie. That makes sense. That's a typical Bogie character. I should have seen it. I still loved the movie.

[Shutter2fly]

lol yeah it took me awhile to get it ., i had to watch the movie a few times and read the amazing book but it is still kind of hard to understand for me.(maybe because i was 12 when i read and saw the movie and i am 13 now.

[Steenville]

A great film- I´ve seen it so many times :-)

[GaryM42]

Probably one of the Greatest Movies of ALL time. One of Bogarts best. A movie I could watch 100 times and never be bored. Brilliant.

[SeriousMitchYourPal]

@GaryM42 Mr. or Ms.,You stole my words....

State o the art film...

[GaryM42]

@SeriousMitchYourPal .....its Mr. and thanks for your comments. I don't watch this film as often as I'd like but it is just a fabulous movie. Cheers.

[GaryM42]

@SeriousMitchYourPal .......its Mr. and thanks for your comments. I don't watch this film as often as I'd like but it is just a fabulous movie. Cheers.

[54spiritedwill54]

Awesome movie.

[DarkCityFilmNoir]

good movie!

[zmoore83]

they just don't make movies this good anymore. there damn sure aint any Greenstreets or Bogarts anymore.

[drcoxcentral]

This movie is one of the greatest films ever made and probably one of the best film noirs ever made. So intense and yet it doesn't require a lot of violence to get your attention. All of these actors made these characters as their own big time, I think the actor I like most in this film besides Bogart and Lorre is Sydney Greenstreet who was the Jabba the Hutt of the 1940s.

[bchfront]

No question -- Bogie's finest hour, and an awesome debut for director John Huston. Very proud of the fact that my father, then about 21-years old and a messenger at the studio, was on the set during most of the shooting. He had great stories about this film, and most of them were included in his book, published the year he passed. This was also Greenstreet's first film -- he had been a Broadway actor in light comedies(!) and musicals, like "Roberta". The story had been shot twice before. R.J.

[tuxguys]

There are six films that define the screen persona of "Bogey," the guy every woman falls in love with, and every man wants to be, and this one is the first.

[gownomac]

Maltese burger!! :D

[Shutter2fly]

omg! did you get that off of whose line is it anyway?

[gownomac]

yes ^^

[Shutter2fly]

sweet! i just watched that the other day w/colin and ryan! i think this is the one but colin said (something like this anyway) "when you cut off a guys head and roll him up in a carpet you better make sure he's dead" anyway i don't know exactley how it went but lol =D

[cuoio]

Never Watched this Film, but would love to especially being Maltese which is a bonus :D

[deibid2003]

well, you can watch it now online, here's a link:

[iamnewfie1]

"what is their i can buy you with?",ya gotta love that line...

[definenothing]

Do you think Dashiell Hammett fans went to this movie and rushed home to complain that the movie "wasn't as good as the book" on their live journal blog?

[JaguarOFcomedy]

The don't make the movies as they used to be!

looks charming :-)

[vidhead85]

Tell it!

[SpikeIncorporated]

Awesome movie.

[BillyL96]

Who else agrees that Sydney Greenstreet should have won the Oscar for this?

[jngr1]

Here Here! He was nominated, but Donald Crisp won for "How Green Was My Valley"

[zmoore83]

ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTLEY!!!!!

[UncleCharlieOakley]

Greenstreet is looking out at the audience in the movie theater. Many trailers were done this way. 

Once upon a time, big audiences went to actual movie palaces, not to crackerbox multiplexes like today.

[malikscifi92]

that's why they called it The Golden Age of Hollywood

[kevinsnee]

Well, at least this one didn't give away the ending like a lot of old movie trailers do.

[mlleprufrock]

Greenstreet seems to be looking everywhere, doesn't know where the camera is filming him.
