So over the last decade or so I've been so lucky to see the likes of Casablanca, Metrolpolis, Lawrence of Arabia, Dr. Zhivago, The Women, Possessed ( Gable & Harlow ) etc, etc, where they belong...on the big screen!<br /> The Maltese Falcon is the easier film to follow as The Big Sleep gets a bit complicated at times. But I still like it over MF for Bogie's performance and some of the subtle humour.BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-70674301329830538012011-09-06T19:34:09.522+08:002011-09-06T19:34:09.522+08:00dan - that would be Brian's favourite film. i ...dan - that would be Brian's favourite film. i am yet to decide. i've got another 100+ to choose from!<br /><br />brent - you are a total showoff! i'm totally lime green jello at you. If i remember correctly Big Sleep is a much better movie, not sure if i enjoy it as much as Falcon though.

In the same year I saw The Big Sleep as well. Whilst I really like Falcon I liked Big Sleep even more as a Bogie film. But as a 1940's film MF must rank as one of the era's best.BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-43957949734477161762011-09-06T09:21:31.568+08:002011-09-06T09:21:31.568+08:00It's interesting that this is your favorite no...It's interesting that this is your favorite noir film. I think it's decent, and Bogart and some of the great supporting actors make it worthwhile. However, I felt like Astor is really stiff and not convincing as the femme fatale. I do probably need to revisit it again. Good post.Dan Heatonhttp://publictransportationsnob.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
