If you loved After the Thin Man, try The Maltese Falcon
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Crime / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to After the Thin Man, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Maltese Falcon is
Fog-soaked San Francisco, late spring. A cigarette cough. Sam Spade agrees to protect a wealthy man's daughter. Soon, lies and corpses multiply, all connected to a jewel-encrusted falcon. Huston's debut reset the detective-movie chessboard.
