In this prototypical film noir based on the Dashiell Hammett detective novel, Humphrey Bogart stars as San Francisco private investigator Sam Spade. Mary Astor plays the femme fatale who is wrapped up in a desperate, dangerous search for a priceless statuette. A rogue?s gallery is also in hot pursuit led by Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet who will stop at nothing to recover the elusive black bird. The movie is perhaps the most famous film noir ever made and it was John Huston?s directorial debut.
