film noir studies elaborates , saying , “ the maltese falcon could be described more accurately as a transitional film that marks the boundaries between true film noir and films that have few or no noir elements . the maltese falcon introduces elements that later became hallmarks of film noir — in particular the alienated and amoral hero , thefemme fatale , and the dark and disturbed urban environment in which they live — but it stops short of a purely noir outlook and visual representation .

" john huston effectively establishes his film " the maltese falcon " as a film noir and not a melodrama in the opening shots of the statuette , san francisco and the office of spade and archer . film noir is distinguished by its interest in social context and its emphasis on the dark side of its characters . the opening shots present san francisco as the context and present the names on the office door in reverse , suggesting all is not well . the final scenes of the film would be superfluous to a melodrama but were essential to the film noir because they resolved questions about spade ' s character .

the maltese falcon existed in film versions in 1931 and 1936 before the famous 1941 humphrey bogart picture . the first two depicted a sam spade that was much more a wisecracking fellow bent towards seduction and comedy . those characteristics were the point of the films , with the mystery carrying the wave of humor and seduction . in 1941 , the maltese falcon starring bogart and mary astor , directed by john huston , changed the film’s tone to the style of film noir . humor was replaced with a few dark verbal jabs . seduction was almost nonexistent - - bogart’s sam spade completely denied the advances of some women , while his affection for others was colored with scorn . his attractions to women are not out of whimsy or fun , but danger . and the dangerous female became a common device for the noir genre .

as mentioned previously , this is the third time that warners adapted the maltese falcon into a film . the previous two inferior versions are absolute oddities that were once merely trivia answers . when seen today , the pre - code 1931 film version is a temporarily exciting mix of sex , hammett and sex . but the film turns all too quickly from hammett’s timeless story and becomes more of the seductress and a detective . it isn’t a bad film but is so inferior to the kind of storytelling in eith the novel or the huston version . the second film , 1936’s satan met a lady , strayed so far away from hammett that it seems impossible to be credited as a falcon adaptation . this is to be avoided , as they turned the entire story into a disgustingly silly comedy that has no wit , no use for being and no idea what the source material actually is . both prior versions are painful to sit through for their respective reasons , but especially in light of one of the greatest films ever made .

the score by adolph deutsch is something so rarely mentioned , yet so extremely vital to the film’s success . the music is so sparse , yet so perfectly effective at conveying mystery , wonder , suspense , tension and excitement that is impossible to imagine the film without it . the film immediately begins with the unforgettable awe - inspiring warner logo of the 40’s , but in a drastically lower tone which immediately cues the audience in that this is a different kind of movie . then that crescendo fades into the opening titles , perfectly setting up the film’s signature main theme motif that accurately reflects the smoky , duplicitous world of greedy amoral men and women all scheming , double crossing , conniving and murdering to get their hands on the maltese falcon .

one quibble i have with john huston’s adaptation of hammett’s novel is that the introduction that scrolls at the beginning of the film states that there is , in fact , a bejeweled falcon statuette waylaid by pirates and lost to history . the novel only allows , “it could be . ” that is a substantial shift and puts the falcon seekers in a somewhat different light .

but know he did and the ending in the book and the different ending in the film each in its own way make clear that o’shaughnessy was nothing more than a suspect to spade . the book ends the next day in a business - as - usual morning in the office . in the film , instead of accompanying o’shaughnessy to jail – as was done in the 1931 movie – spade instead chooses to carry a worthless statuette whose only value now is as evidence against o’shaughnessy .

that was a good review , fritzi . i agree with you about many of the weaknesses of this version , especially the part about spade speaking cantonese . i was lucky once about 30 years ago to see a triple bill of the 1931 falcon , the 1936 satan met a lady ( bette davis as sort - of brigid , warren william as sort - of sam and a female sort - of gutman ) , and the 1941 falcon .

for the longest time , beginning in the 70s after first catching it on tv , the maltese falcon was my favorite bogart . hell , it was my favorite film , for that matter . in both cases , that fact lasted only a few years — till i finally watched casablanca , that is . but , that takes us away from what is at hand . the maltese falcon was , and still is , the epitome of what was the detective mystery on film in that era . of course , we have to credit author dashiell hammett foremost with putting pen to paper and recalling his ‘baghdad by bay’ days as a private detective working for the pinkerton detective agency . however , the film has achieved more than just that . certainly , enough to make it legendary . let’s count off a few , shall we ? :

many a reader has fallen into hammett’s trap and believed that spade actually cared for o’shaughnessy and that at the end he was torn about “sending her over . ” in the 1931 film version it is clear that spade has fallen for wonderly and even though he turns her in , he brings her cigarettes and candy and arranges for the matron to look out for her in jail . in this film version of the novel , spade is hired to by the district attorney’s office after solving the case . in william dieterle’s 1936 remake of “the maltese falcon , ” “satan met a lady , ” starring warren william and bette davis , the relationship plays out as a romantic comedy with a crime story background .

we’ll examine plausibly the most famed detective novel there is . so glad there won’t be any pressure associated with this one . in this case , my colleague will be looking at the best known work by author dashiell hammett , the maltese falcon . the 1930 novel also sourced its most famous transference to film , which was released in 1941 . rachel’s book review can be found here :

instead of the falcon . ( " a cynical farce of elaborate and sustained cheapness . . . a farrago of nonsense . " from the contemporary

the bejeweled , priceless ' maltese falcon ' [ a 50 - pound plaster cast , seven in all , made by the props department at warners ] is at the center of the intriguing film as an elusive but valuable object that is greedily desired , for different reasons , by all the principals , in the labyrinthine , noirish plot . [ the black bird serves as the film ' s mcguffin , a plot device that propels the story forward but is proven ultimately worthless - although it wasn ' t termed that at the time . hitchcock would later popularize the use of a mcguffin in his films . ]

there isn ' t a single aspect of this film that wasn ' t greatly improved in the 1941 version .

the first and most important thing to know about the maltese falcon book is that it is written in the third person limited objective viewpoint . the “third person” part means that the story uses “he” instead of “i” while the “limited” means that only one character is focused on and the “objective” part means that the reader is not given access to that character’s thoughts or feelings .

i ended up buying this film for $ 5 – and am so glad i did so .

detective stories have existed in film since the early days of cinema . but it wasn’t until the talking pictures that narratives were able to elaborate the verbal drama that eventually became film noir . in the 1930s , detective films followed a typical structure employing light comedy and less concentration on the gritty details of the mystery , even if the film’s source material carried a darker tone . the pictures were carried largely by the charming nature of the detective who was engaging to watch more than the mystery itself .

john huston ' s legacy . . " ( final film based on james joyce ' s ' the dead ' )

sam spade is no sherlock holmes or philo vance . he’s not a charming hero , he’s alienated , works against authorities , and is morally ambiguous . he’s a greedy fatalist with a cynical view of everything around him . he lacks compassion and concern for others . in short , he ' s sort of a jerk . film noir studies goes on to state that spade isn’t a true noir hero due to his ability to control himself , but the maltese falcon and the character of spade served as the segues that ushered in the era of true noir . that would be especially true through the film’s methods of challenging masculinity and femininity . much of noir sees the typical gender roles reversed , with women the intelligent and often conniving characters that bend the men to their will . the maltese falcon certainly utilized this disruptive power balance to great success .

in this spoof of the story the maltese falcon ( 1941 ) is based on , a double - crossing woman , the two - timing p . i . she hired , the corpulent " empress of crime " , and a gentleman thief are all after a legendary priceless eighth - century ram ' s horn .

the maltese falcon is based on misdirection and omission and nowhere is that clearer than in how spade deals with the death of archer . after notifying the widow ( who spade is having an affair with ) and having archer’s name removed from the windows and door , spade doesn’t mention archer again unless asked by o’shaughnessy , the police , a hotel detective or the district attorney . his intent seems to be focused on obtaining the black bird by playing one side against the other ( a classic hammett ploy ) and in doing so creates the real misdirection of the novel . at its heart , the maltese falcon is a whodunit and hammett designed it so elegantly that all of the typical traps and trimmings of the genre disappear into the fog of a long gone san francisco .

the precocious director huston was very faithful to dashiell hammett ' s 1929 novel the maltese falcon , that had originally appeared as a five - part serialized story in a pulp fiction , detective story magazine publication named black mask . however , for an early preview audience , the film took a different , short - lived title , the gent from frisco . there were two major differences between the book and film : ( 1 ) gutman was killed by wilmer , and ( 2 ) the last quotable line of dialogue , with a shakespearean reference , was thought up by bogart on the set .

it ' s entirely appropriate that bogart - - not clark gable or jimmy stewart or john wayne or cary grant - - stood alone atop the american film institute ' s public balloting as the 20th century ' s " greatest film star legend . "

try picturing george raft , if you ' re old enough , clutching mary astor and sneering , with equal measures of lust and disgust , " i won ' t play the sap for you . " huston ' s film would have been the third falcon to flop .

noted the " hapless casting of paul lukas " but called sidney " excellent " and praised the film ' s " photographic artistry " and the use of voiceover . as hall explained to readers , " [ it ] permits the thoughts of a character to be heard , in much the same way as alfred hitchcock did in the british film

the beauty of how hammett set up the maltese falcon is that no one can put a finger on a page and say , “this is where spade knew . ” at the end of the novel – and huston’s film – in spade’s apartment , spade uses information from the archer crime scene to convince o’shaughnessy that he’s sure she killed archer when he mentions the “buttoned overcoat . ” that he was suspicious of her all along becomes obvious , where exactly he knows that she did it isn’t .

there is no “aha” moment in the maltese falcon pinpointing where spade knows the truth about o’shaughnessy . other people could pick other places but if i had to pick a place in the novel where spade knew that o’shaughnessy killed archer , it would the first visit to spade’s office from joel cairo . that visit begins in chapter 4 the black bird and continues into chapter 5 the levantine .

what makes john huston’s film adaptation of the maltese falcon a classic is his determination to make the novel come alive as it was written . there are two stories about huston and the writing of the script and whether either is true isn’t something that can be verified . the first story tells of huston handing the book to a secretary and instructing her to “just describe the scene and add the dialog . ” a few days later – due to miscommunication – that pile of papers were picked up by the studio and considered the script . the other story involves huston not using the script at all but showing up on the set with the novel in his hand .

the writers of the original 1931 movie adaptation of the maltese falcon – that starred bebe daniels and ricardo cortez – used lee fu gow as a device to solve one of the enduring mysteries of hammett’s novel and that is exactly when sam spade knows that brigid o’shaughnessy killed miles archer . it is one of the nuances that i love in hammett’s novel and as spade leads o’shaughnessy inexorably to her deserved fate , hammett shines the reader on as well . it is only at the end that we learn that spade knew that it was brigid o’shaughnessy that shot miles archer in an alleyway off bush street long before the final scene in spade’s apartment .

the first film adaptation of hammett ' s novel , but certainly not the best . as an early " talkie , " this film had practically no atmosphere , and sam spade is played by cortez as a leering , lecherous playboy with a boyish smile ; there is none of the " tough guy " detective that spade deserves to be . while it ' s a bit more risque than the 1941 huston film due to its being filmed before the production code took effect , this film is really only of interest to those who might be interested in seeing how different directors tackle the same material ( and how different they turn out ) . if you love this story , skip this film and see the huston masterpiece .


gold fever was the name of a bbc documentary , shown in august 2000 , which followed steve redgrave and his british rowing coxless four teammates matthew pinsent , tim foster and james cracknell in the years leading up to the sydney olympics , where redgrave was looking to claim his fifth consecutive gold medal .

the 3-part series included video diaries recording the highs and lows in the quest for gold .

among these were redgrave being diagnosed with diabetes , and foster possibly losing his spot on the team after injuring his hand punching a window at a party , and later undergoing back surgery that required additional months of recovery time .

coach jurgen grobler was also featured in the programme .

a follow-up documentary programme entitled the rowers return was produced in the aftermath of the sydney olympics .

the title was part-reference to a fictional public house , the rovers return , a venue in the long-running british soap opera coronation street .

the documentary detailed the crew 's return to the uk and completed the gold fever story .

a year after redgrave’s fifth gold he was knighted by the queen . in 2006 , he completed a third london marathon , raising £1 , 800 , 000 for charity and launched his own clothing wear fiveg – a fair - trade cotton clothing brand . redgrave has also been involved with the launch of a rowing academy in india .

the final two days later , on 23 september , was handily scheduled for british audiences at 1am and offered the hope of the perfect end to a friday night out as huge numbers tuned in to see if redgrave could achieve his ambition “to make the olympic rings in gold medals” in front of 25 , 000 spectators at penrith lakes .

redgrave’s achievements will always be in his deeds and not in his memories . the fifth gold medal , which was presented to him by the president of the international olympic committee , juan antonio samaranch , will , one imagines , go where the other four have gone into a display case in the henley rowing museum . but somewhere deep in that warrior’s heart perhaps one day he will feel a glow of pride in his immense , unexampled conquests .

in 1996 was about as unequivocal as it gets . “anybody who sees me in a boat has my permission to shoot me , ” he said . at the age of 34 he had devoted more than half his life to the unrelenting training regime that had put him at the pinnacle of british olympic achievement , his four gold medals matching the record of the swimmer and water polo player paulo radmilovic who had completed his quartet at the 1920 antwerp games .

in sydney last night he won the fifth of his gold medals by the closest of margins , a mere 0 . 38 of a second , in a race of shattering ferocity and breathtaking closeness . he and his team - mates in britain’s coxless four – matthew pinsent , tim foster and james cracknell – went out hard and fast , establishing a lead of half a length over australia and the us by the 500metre mark , setting a fierce pace at around 40 strokes per minute .

after atlanta pinsent had immediately made it clear that he intended to carry on in pursuit of his third gold medal but that his preference was to move up from the pair . with pinsent’s supreme physical strength making him ideal for the stroke seat in the coxless four and redgrave’s technical excellence , power , drive and determination , gröbler’s task was to identify the two oarsmen who would could complement the pair’s attributes and have that hard to define “crew - making” quotient that turns four athletes into a team for the no2 and bow seats .

it took four men to win it but , naturally , the focus was all on redgrave . overcome by emotion having again given permission for someone to shoot him if he shelved his retirement plans , it was left to pinsent to put his colleague’s achievements into context . “i said beforehand that steve had achieved the title of ultimate olympian irrespective of what happened today . today , winning his fifth olympic gold medal i think he’s put himself into the greatest olympian that certainly great britain has ever produced and arguably in the world . ”

for the fourth spot gröbler chose to retain one member of the bronze - medal winning four from atlanta , tim foster , who had also won a gold in the pair with pinsent at the junior worlds . foster , the most genial of the four , was often portrayed as the maverick choice but while he was physically the weakest of the crew he was technically superb , his strength - to - weight power equalled the standards his team - mates had set , his skills as the metronomic pacesetter were unrivalled and , most crucially , the boat was faster with him in it than when more muscley rowers occupied the seat .

but it was always going to be italy , their bitterest rivals , who would present the real challenge to redgrave’s chance of becoming the first endurance athlete to win gold medals at five successive olympic games . italy had inflicted the crew’s first ever defeat at lucerne a few weeks ago , a reverse that , to say the least , was badly taken . the italian assault came in the final quarter of the race , and their acceleration brought them closer and closer as the boats passed in front of the grandstands full of 25 , 000 cheering fans . summoning the last ounce of his crew’s strength , pinsent at stroke just held their opponents at bay to cross the line with an advantage of no more than three or four feet , with the italian boat narrowing the advantage with every stroke .

james cracknell , a junior world championship gold medal winner in 1990 , had suffered serious setbacks on his promotion to the senior squad , missing the 1992 games with a broken shoulder and being forced to pull out of the double sculls in 1996 on the eve of competition having fallen ill in unfortunate circumstances . “on the day of the opening ceremony we were on our way to the rowing lake in atlanta when the driver , who had never driven on a freeway before , parked the bus on the hard shoulder , ” he said . “we were all stuck on this bus with air conditioning going full blast for two hours . when i got back to the olympic village i had got tonsillitis and the doctor wanted to pull me out of the race . ” on earning selection by gröbler in the bow for the four in 1997 he would channel his disappointment and exploit his remarkable aerobic capacity and brawn to run pinsent’s status as the powerhouse of the team remarkably close .

for four months he seemed to be sticking to his guns , enjoying a break from the 7 . 30am starts on the water at henley where the squad would warm up with 20km on the thames , followed by circuit training , weights , lengthy battles with the ergometer and an intake of pasta that would have defeated luciano pavarotti . yet the one thing one would expect from such a high - profile retirement , a valedictory official confirmation and celebration of his career , had been absent . the understanding was that such a famously terse and resolute individual found the concept of a traditional orgy of exaltation distasteful . the real reason , though , was that only two days after winning the coxless pairs with matthew pinsent in atlanta , redgrave had changed his mind .

his four - month holiday , therefore , was not the respite from exhaustion before embarking on a new path that everyone assumed it to be . by contrast this singular man was using his break to test his mental and physical appetite for competition once again , a self - made obstacle to surmount allowing him an opportunity to hone his mettle in a different way .

“i knew that when i started again it would be hard and i wanted a break , ” he said . “when i did start again i was halfway through my first endurance weights session , which was really hard , and i thought : ‘what the hell am i doing this for ? it’s stupid . ’ but i was also pleased it was so hard , because it proved that my philosophy for the past 20 years was right – that you can’t afford to have any time off . ”

not that he told pinsent of his decision to resume rowing and left the head coach jürgen gröbler to inform the man with whom he had won his last two golds at barcelona and atlanta . “it had nothing to do with matthew , ” he said . “if i’m good enough and he’s good enough , we’ll try to get into a boat , but the key for me is that i have to show that i’m the best or one of the best in the country . ” the two had been teamed together in 1990 following andy holmes’s retirement after the seoul games and enjoyed a far better personal relationship than the one he had with his previous partner but there was no room for sentimentality in redgrave’s outlook .

the four got off to the ideal start by winning the world championships at lac d’aiguebelette in september 1997 but shortly afterwards redgrave was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes . he decided to cope with the onset of the condition by adapting his diet and taking only small amounts of insulin but by the end of the year he felt weak and embarrassed by the fall - off in his performances . “i was pretty close to jacking it all in , ” he said , as the effects of scaling down his 7 , 000 calorie a day diet began to take their toll . “i was training hard but not performing . the other guys were way ahead of me and i felt very isolated . ”

it was then that he changed track . “i decided that diabetes had to live with me , not me live with it , ” he said , upped his insulin doses and returned to his habitual , enormous intake of food . they won at the world championships again in 1998 and the british four defended their title the following year in canada . it was not the same four , however . in early 1998 foster had severed the tendons in his right hand after punching a window at a party and faced the wrath of cracknell . in his absence the coxless four lost a world cup race , the first time pinsent and redgrave had been defeated in eight years .

at the world cup regatta in lucerne in july 2000 the unthinkable happened , the “unbeatable” four of redgrave , pinsent , foster and cracknell suffered their first ever defeats – in the semi - final by new zealand – and then came home fourth in the final behind italy , the kiwis and australia . “we had a reasonable first minute and then we just had nothing left to give , ” said redgrave . “all the calls were there , but not the speed . i feel so frustrated . ” gröbler shared the frustration but not the concern : “i have full confidence in the crew , there is no question , ” he said . “it’s time to sit down , analyse the training and get things right . ” two months later in penrith in sydney’s sprawling western suburbs they had the opportunity to prove their coach right .

their first heat victory was rudimentary enough , consigning australia to second place with a winning margin of more than three seconds . in the semi - final they were ahead at 250m , stretched their lead over slovenia to a length by halfway and eased into the final in first place without having to reach their most strenuous stroke - rates . their tormentors in lucerne , australia , italy and new zealand , had a far tougher semi - final , australia putting italy into second place by 0 . 28sec .

as in the semi - final , the great britain four started superbly and established a half - length lead over the australians in the first half of an epic race . italy , however , stuck to their plan of attacking after the 1 , 000m mark and upped their rate to an astonishing 44 strokes per minute and closed in on the gb boat . but foster kept the pace astutely and pinsent , in the stroke seat the closest to his pursuers , put in an herculean effort even by his incomparable standards and as cacophonous roars rang around the lake britain held on for victory by 0 . 38sec in an outrageously tense finale . foster and cracknell punched the air , redgrave slumped over his oar and pinsent climbed over foster to embrace the veteran before throwing himself into the water .

redgrave climbed to the top of the podium for the fifth time , the sight of four enormous men , shoeless and their arms slung around each other’s shoulders , looking somewhat incongruous out of the boat .

and redgrave himself ? “i’m just an ordinary guy who went quite quick in a boat , really , ” was his verdict . it was typical of his diffident character but disingenuous . anyone who manages to sustain such a unique competitive edge that nourished his desperation to win for more than 16 years is simply extraordinary , inimitable in fact .

and so , at last , the blade is on the feather . what will he do with it , the 12ft 6in oar that he pulled for what we may reasonably assume was the last time in an olympic final ? steve redgrave hardly seems the sort of retired rower who would be likely to mount it above the fireplace , in the manner of chaps whose cvs mention eton and leander .

victorious crews normally look as fresh as daisies , while the losers collapse . but it was some moments after they crossed the line before cracknell and foster could raise their arms in triumph . pinsent clambered over foster to embrace redgrave , and then fell in .

he came to the sport with no background . at 13 , a schoolmaster at great marlow comprehensive suggested that , with his big hands and feet , he might make a rower . and with that nudge his destiny began . marlow , of course , is henley’s neighbour , and has a regatta and a rowing club of its own , so he was in friendly territory from the start . but after failing as a single sculler , it was pure willpower that allowed him to refashion himself into a powerhouse of pairs and fours rowing .

with matthew pinsent , redgrave formed a relationship that was not much stronger on conversation but contained a greater degree of warmth . together they won in barcelona and atlanta , the latter in a heartstoppingly tight finish by less than a second against australia , before redgrave made his famous retirement speech .

since then he has overcome the initial effects of diabetes , a bout of colitis , and the scepticism of those who felt that , at his age , he could act as nothing more than a drag - anchor on the younger men around him . britain missed a medal in the coxless pairs , the event which redgrave dominated at three successive olympics games , by 12 hundredths of a second when greg searle and ed coode finished fourth behind boats from france , the united states and australia .

coode and searle started confidently , pushing themselves in a half - length lead over australia and the us by the 500 metre mark , with france’s jean - christophe rolland and michel andrieux in fourth place . the 28 - year - old searle , who won the last coxed pairs event to be held at the games with his brother jonny in 1992 , ending the six - year unbeaten record of the great abbagnale brothers of italy , was setting a swift pace at 36 strokes a minute .

he and the 25 - year - old coode maintained their lead through the halfway mark , but with about 300 metres left the attacks started to come , most devastatingly from the french . rolland and andrieux had twice had the experience of watching the tail of a british olympic pair disappear into the distance , having finished fourth in barcelona and third in atlanta , behind redgrave and pinsent on both occasions , and they were not about to accept a third helping . particularly since the 32 - year - old rolland , like redgrave , had also announced his retirement only to think better of it .

a ferocious spurt took them into the lead as the crews entered the home stretch , searle and coode finding nothing left in the tank with which to fuel a response as the australians also edged past them , followed by murphy and bea of the us . the french winning margin was what used to be known as a canvas , or about a third of a length , or 0 . 8 of a second , whichever you prefer . at the line the us were less than half a second in front of australia , while the margin separating the british from a medal was about the span of a hand .

“it was all over … in my eyes . as soon as we were out in front no one was going to go past us . ”

“steve redgrave will always know how much i owe him . he started rowing with a cocky 19 - year - old and finished his career with a seasoned successful athlete – that transition had so much to do with him . ”
