This is a film which has been known in the past for looking awful and here it just shines. I'll go so far as to say, that at home, there is simply no replacing this Bluray for fans of Bogey or classic Hollywood cinema. As a film The Maltese Falcon suffers from a staginess that was common to films of its time and in fact and no doubt next to some of Bogeys other stuff, especially Casablanca seems a bit cheesy. But then again it's a film to ignore at your peril. It was nominated for 3 Academy Awards, and launched the careers of Bogart and director John Huston.
