The Maltese Falcon

Saturday, March 5 at 7 pm we bring you John Huston's 1941 Film Noir Classic "The Maltese Falcon" starring Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor and Peter Lorre. Released in 1941, "The Maltese Falcon" celebrates its 75th Anniversary this year.

Spade and Archer is the name of a San Francisco detective agency. That's for Sam Spade and Miles Archer. The two men are partners, but Sam doesn't like Miles much. A knockout, who goes by the name of Miss Wonderly (Mary Astor), walks into their office; and by that night everything's changed. Miles is dead. And so is a man named Floyd Thursby. It seems Miss Wonderly is surrounded by dangerous men. There's Joel Cairo, who uses gardenia-scented calling cards. There's Kasper Gutman, with his enormous girth and feigned civility. Her only hope of protection comes from Sam, who is suspected by the police of one or the other murder. More murders are yet to come, and it will all be because of these dangerous men -- and their lust for a statuette of a bird: the Maltese Falcon.

Tickets are $7.00 general admission and available online, at Seastrand (919 Linden Ave., with cash or check only) and at the theater box office prior to showtime. This film has a run time of 100 minutes.
