The Maltese Falcon

The part of the lasagna I didn't eat last Sunday.

The Maltese Falcon, 1941, directed by John Huston, who also wrote the screenplay, based on the 1930 novel by Dashiell Hammett. Starring Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet. Also starring Elisha Cook Jr. as one of the most inept gunmen ever. I've lost count on how many times I've seen this movie. I just watched it with Kate last year. But I'm going to discuss it with a film group tomorrow, so I wanted to be sharp. The film group invited a film historian to the discussion, which should be a lot of fun. This movie never fails to entertain me. Great story, cast and crew.
