Bogart made his name as a private
detective in this one, so the expectations were pretty much high prior to
watching. Humprey's being classical Humphrey, cool, old school macho trying to
wiggle his way out an elaborate scheme revolving around the ancient artifact,
but that's pretty much it.
Rest of the cast, as the script itself
will blend into a classical conspiracy/crime story of that era, with all the
right moves and turns, but lacking any kind of innovation at all.
„Maltese Falcon” is just a solid piece of movie
history and a classical Bogart's role that made him what he is.
