John Huston directs this classic film noir adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's novel. Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart) is a cynical private eye caught up in the hunt for a jewel-encrusted falcon while searching for the murderer of his partner, Miles Archer (Jerome Cowan). His fellow treasure hunters include Joel Cairo (Peter Lorre), Kasper Gutman (Sydney Greenstreet), psychotic tearaway Wilmer Cook (Elisha Cook Jr) and the duplicitous femme fatale Brigid O'Shaughnessy (Mary Astor).
