Emily says:This was the movie that started it all. We watched this last summer, right after we moved to Vancouver and when Paul mentioned that it was on the Top 100 list, the idea to watch the entire list was hatched.
Watching it again, almost a year later, I enjoyed it just as much. Humphrey Bogart makes an excellent private investigator, and Mary Astor is constantly unraveling until you come to understand the layers of the plot. I think of this as a classic film noir, so it's no surprise that its often cited as the first American film of this genre.
I also love that famous line from this movie: "The stuff dreams are made of..." All this trouble over a fake falcon. Seems like a good metaphor for all of the other silly material things we spend our lives running after. Ultimately, they don't matter.
