    In terms of treatment of women I assumed The Maltese Falcon was akin to rap videos of the 90's.

    Cool One of my favorite movies with Humphrey Bogart and ....

    Mary Astor as the girl Bogart sends over. Humphrey, as Sam Spade, shows that short men can wear doublebreasted suits. Peter Lorre is great as the obviously gay Joel Cairo. Sydney Greenstreet is aptly named as Gutman. The Gunsel is Elisha Cook Jr., who died not too long ago. He was in his 80s. Definitely Dashiel Hammett at his best.
