A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay

Film Noir at its finest. This is the original McGuffin film. Get the thing because you gotta get the thing cuz everyone else wants the thing, who cares what the thing is. The Maltese Falcon is the originator of so many classic film moments and lines that so frequently get parodied but very few know what is being parodied. Everyone has their happy place. A rainy night in a dank cafe with a slowplaying sax and upright bass is my happy place. No one I know is content enough to be happy there for long but as for myself, I could listen to that rain hit the window forever.
