The Maltese Falcon (1941)

All ages

Plot

Spade and Archer er heiti spæjarafyrirtækis í San Fransisco, þar sem spæjararnir Sam Spade og Miles Archer vinna. Þeir eru félagar en samt líkar Sam ekkert allt of vel við Miles. Glæsileg kona að nafni Frú Wonderly kemur inn á skrifstofuna, og um kvöldið er allt breytt. Miles er dauður. Og einnig maður að nafni Floyd Thursby. Svo virðist sem frú Wonderly sé umkringd hættulegum mönnum. Það er Joel Cairo sem notar nafnspjöld með Gardeníu blómailmi. Það er Kasper Gutman, feitur og með uppgerðar kurteisi. Eina von hennar um vernd er í Sam, sem er grunaður um morð. Fleiri morð eiga sér stað, og öll tengjast þau þessum hættulegu mönnum - og því að þeir girnast fuglastyttu: Möltufálkann.
