Review of 'The Maltese Falcon (Read a Great Movie)' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
I’ve always loved the film, so it was great to discover how closely it followed the book. You can hear the actors as you read the dialogue; especially Sydney Greenstreet as Gutman. Some scenes drag on while Sam Spade does his melodramatic, tough guy moralising (a good job they pared that back in the movie) but still a really fun read.
