Join us for a showing and discussion of The Maltese Falcon on Tuesday, December 2 at 6:30 pm. The Maltese Falcon is still the tightest, sharpest, and most cynical of Hollywood's official deathless classics. Humphrey Bogart is Dashiell Hamett's definitive private eye, Sam Spade, struggling to keep his hard-boiled cool as the double-crosses pile up around his ankles. This is the role that made Bogart a star and established his trend-setting (and still influential) antihero persona.
