Reacting to THE MALTESE FALCON (1941) | Movie Reaction

[@Dirkus17]

"Never trust anyone that lies". Wise words from Dawn Marie.

[@mattp6089]

"Honestly, it's the honest ones you want to watch out for." - Captain Jack Sparrow.

[@Muck006]

@@mattp6089 That is a wise point of view, because the world is filled with VIRTUE SIGNALERS ... while there are hardly any truly virtuous people around. I'd also suggest a look at the song "Mack the Knife" ... and think about "a shark" and "a murderer with a smile and a knife hidden in the trenchcoat" ... and which one of the two is more dangerous.

[@Johnsrage]

Joel Ciaro is Peter Lorre, one of the greatest character actors in the world. He's very funny in "Arsenic and Old Lace". He and Sidney Greenstreet (the Fat Man) were both in "Casablanca". Speaking of Casablanca, you still need to see "A Night in Casablanca" with the Marx Bros. Keep watching the Black and White movies, I love how much you appreciate them.

[@matta5498]

Peter Lorre, in the movie, "M".

[@flarrfan]

@@matta5498 One of the greatest film performances I've ever seen.

[@creech54]

Lorre, in Casablanca, is the guy who stole the letters of transit. Greenstreet was the owner of "The Blue Parrot" nightclub and future owner of "Rick's Café Américain".

[@matta5498]

He escaped Berlin to Casablanca and begged Rick to hide him. 😃@@flarrfan

[@richarddefortuna2252]

​@@matta5498excellent film!

[@shawnmiller4781]

Sydney Greenstreet didn’t make his first movie until he was 61. The Maltese Falcon was his first movie role and he was nominated for an Oscar for it. He made just 23 movies and his first five movies were: T he Maltese Falcon, They Died with their Boots on , Across the Pacific, Casablanca and Background to Danger. #6 was Passage to Marseille.

[@philipcochran1972]

The 'fat man' (Sydney Greenstreet) the owner of the Blue Parrot cafe in Casablanca Joel Ciro (Peter Lorre) is the man who steals the letters of transit in Casablanca

[@Caambrinus]

His name is Joël Cairo and his passport (at 6:14) is Greek.

[@ericjanssen394]

"Please don't give me a movie I don't understand"-- Well, in that case, might want to steer clear of "The Big Sleep", where Humphrey Bogart plays another tough-as-nails detective, in another double-cross mystery so tangled, even established film experts have never been able to 100% unravel it. 😛

[@maximillianosaben]

I have a replica Maltese Falcon statue. One of my favorite birthday gifts ever to this day.

[@torbjornkvist]

The Maltese Falcon (the statue) is what Alfred Hitchcock called a "McGuffin", the thing that everyone is looking for, or someone is defending but is not essential for the plot. It's the drama that is the vital part. Often, the McGuffin is lost in the end, or no one knows what it is.

[@johnsensebe3153]

_Pulp Fiction_ contains the perfect Macguffin. Not only does the viewer not care what it is, but he doesn't even know what it is. It's unclear whether Tarantino even has an idea what it is.

[@creech54]

It's essential to the plot, but it's not essential what it is. Could just as easily be jewels, or a painting, or a document.

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

The TV show Alias, starring Jennifer Garner, was essentially just a weekly McGuffin hunt, and very deliberately so.

[@spagerrhowtaf8673]

A McGuffin is something of great interest to the characters but not to the audience.

[@creech54]

@@johnsensebe3153 It's the box from "Kiss Me Deadly". 😁

[@garyr8739]

The Falcon prop used in this movie, the one that was scratched with the knife, sold at auction for over $4 million. The most ever spent on a movie prop.

[@danielschaeffer1294]

Bogart’s acting was a revolution. He specialized in reaction shots, rather than speeches.

[@johnwest5837]

Humphrey Bogarts first name is his mother's maiden name, she was an artist of renown she drew the original Gerber baby.

[@Arthur_King_of_the_Britons]

I love Dawn's reactions to old movies with complicated plots Keep them coming

[@tonym362]

The Maltese Falcon is the stuff dreams are made of.

[@DV80s]

I love the fast-paced dialogue between the characters. I also love looking around at the rooms and seeing what type of furniture and devices they had. I know these are sets, but it's still nice to look around and see what type of items people back in the '40s were depending on.

[@jollyrodgers7272]

TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT (Warner Bros., 1944) is a Humphrey Bogart classic where he meets his future wife in co-star Lauren Bacall when she's only 19. Hoagy Carmichael provides the piano jazz, and Walter Brennan is comic relief. Loosely based on the Hemingway novel. Director Howard Hawks told Ernest he could take his worst novel and turn it into a great film - which he did.

[@terryjackman2242]

I thoroughly agree! Bogart and Bacall, a true love story, played out on the big screen.

[@kieronball8962]

Dawn Marie's reactions were wonderful, as always. This is one of my favourite movies, full of twists and turns, with a wonderful script, cast and direction. By the way, Captain Jacoby, who managed to take the Maltese Falcon to Sam Spade, was played by Walter Huston, real life father of the film's director John Huston.. :)

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

And grandfather of John's daughter Anjelica Huston.

[@andrewcharles459]

I can't believe anyone would question the loyalty of Effie Perine!

[@hw2508]

Sadly this old movies don't get as many views as they deserve.

[@kissmy_butt1302]

The difficult thing for modern audiences is understanding that The Maltese Falcon was the grandfather of this genre. So many movies and shows are pretty much using the same framework that they cheapened it over the years.

[@flarrfan]

Chinatown and LA Confidential being the exceptions, as the best of Neo-Noir.

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

Chinatown is pure noir, nothing neo there.

[@DouglasGlenn-jn8qb]

I always blows my mind that this was the third attempt to make a movie from the Maltese Falcon novella. It really shows how important it is to have just the right writers and a cast with just the right chemistry. The way the play off of each other is so much fun to watch, just as it is in Casablanca.

[@Carandini]

@@DouglasGlenn-jn8qb The pre-code version goes a bit harder. For instance, they're pretty overt that Gutmann and Wilmer are gay lovers, which puts even more teeth in the betrayal. The second version plays it for laughs. Third time was certainly the charm.

[@al.n.darodda6183]

The smile is really a “SNEER”

[@louismarzullo1190]

"Sam Spade... I know a Sam Spade. Is that a common name?"😂 Just one more reason to love Dawn❤️ Getting to be quite a list!

[@dan_hitchman007]

The one thing I miss the most with modern movies compared to older classics... all the snappy, wall-to-wall dialog.

[@troubadour723]

A lot of modern movies (and especially TV shows) have wall-to-wall dialogue. There's just nothing memorable about it.

[@MikeBarratt-lk3gt]

Yeh the old films especially from the 30s and 40s the dialogue comes at you like a machine gun.

[@dan_hitchman007]

@@troubadour723 There are still a lot of pauses and musical interludes in today's films and shows, but yes I get your point of the overall lack of QUALITY dialog.

[@blueboy4244]

then you must LOVE the original 'Front Page' - oh man they are snappy and quick

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

Anything directed by Preston Sturges will fit the bill.

[@louismarzullo1190]

"I thought she was doing something else!" Dawn still thinking of that GoodFellas scene in the kitchen!🤣

[@dan_hitchman007]

Dawn, you would really enjoy "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" with Bogart. It was used as one of the templates for the Indiana Jones character.

[@shawnmiller4781]

Badgers! We don’t need no stinking Badgers!!!!

[@johnsensebe3153]

_The Treasure of the Sierra Madre_ was actually Bogart's favorite of his films.

[@flarrfan]

I think Dawn might enjoy "African Queen" even more...Not one of my favorites, but the pairing of Bogart and Hepburn is magical.

[@dan_hitchman007]

@@flarrfan I find the overall story of "Treasure" to be more compelling than "African Queen" and it has some memorable lines used to this day.

[@flarrfan]

@@dan_hitchman007 Not saying Queen is better, it's not. I just thought it was one Dawn would enjoy more, and Bogey and Hepburn together is worth a watch.

[@rdawgo14]

One thing that's wild about these 30s and 40s movies is how much inflation has changed dollar values. $1 in 1941 was worth about $20 now, so a $5000 reward then is equivalent to a $100,000 now!

[@auapplemac2441]

True, but we also earn more today. Don't know whether it evens it out, but salaries are much higher today then in 1940.

[@Johnsrage]

Another great Black and White Humphrey Bogart film is " The Treasure of the Siera Madre". An excellent color film with Bogart is "The African Queen" you'll love his performance in that one.

[@davidstone9624]

Yes!

[@shawnmiller4781]

Hard to argue Katherine Hepburn and Borgart weren’t one of the great movie pairings in that film. I would have the argument African Queen is also one of the Great War movies

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

If you want to see Bogart doing comedy, try We're No Angels.

[@martyemmons3100]

Watching your "Maltese Falcon" reaction video is the most entertaining item in my recent memory, Dawn Marie. My interest had me making sure your Scottish sounding accent is real. Two of my favorite scenes in the "Maltese Falcon" are the: "When you're slapped, you'll take it and like it" and: 'After Bridget O'Shaughnessy pleading for Sam Spade to spare her some of his bravery. Bogart's critical assessment, "You won't need much of anybody's help, you're good" scenes. You are so unique in your spoken reaction that I had to watch and see if you found those two scenes as entertaining as I did. And I was generously rewarded because I truly enjoyed watching your video

[@carlox1266]

Don't forget that $ 5000 then is $ 100 000 now .

[@ElliotNesterman]

Peter Lorre (Joel Cairo) played Ugarte in Casablanca, the fellow who stole the exit visas and was arrested at Rick's. Sydney Greenstreet (Gutman, the fat man) played Ferrari, the bar owner in Casablanca who wanted to buy Rick's. Peter Lorre was one of the finest actors in Weimar Berlin, but he was Jewish so emigrated when the Nazis came to power. His finest performance is in Fritz Lang's masterpiece, _M_ (1931). Once Lorre came to the US he was never again offered such a significant, or challenging, role. Sydney Greenstreet had a successful stage career in Britain and on Broadway before going to Hollywood. He had been offered film roles for many years but had turned them all down. Then at the age of sixty-one he began working for Warner Bros. and made his first movie, _The Maltese Falcon._ He, Bogart, Lorre, and Claude Rains (Captain Louis Renault in Casablanca) were reunited in the 1944 _Passage to Marseille._

[@markadams3976]

Reputedly Josef Goebbels (Hitler's propaganda chief) was a big fan of Lorre's work and called him over after a show to give him a heads up to get out of the country as things were about to go very bad. Lorre took him at his word and left immediately which is how he managed to get out of Germany.

[@jeffmartin1026]

Peter Lorre is also great in Mad Love.

[@troubadour723]

Brilliant movie, great writing, great acting, never gets old.

[@billbabcock1833]

The 2 actors who played Joel Cairo and the Fat Man, Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet respectively, were also in Casablanca. Lorre played Ugarte, the man who stole the Letters of Transit that Rick hid in the piano, and Greenstreet played Ferrari, who owned a bar called the Blue Parrot.

[@illbebad]

Amazing that it was the 3rd time they filmed this novel, and it became the best version. I'd really be impressed if someone reacted to the 1931 version ;)

[@mrjoepad1]

Now watch The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

[@philcortor7886]

You need to check out Bogie with Katherine Hepburn in the African Queen. A true classic!

[@johntriplett4470]

Fun Fact: Wilmer the Gunsel is Ice Pick in the 1980's Magnum PI (ironically).

[@3Kings_Industries]

Ah, the classic black & white film noirs. Thank goodness these classics always played when my siblings and I were stuck at grandma's house over the summer.

[@velinion1]

"What is it?" "The stuff dreams are made of." That's kinda the point of the whole movie. All the death, betrayal, and lies, for what is only a dream of wealth.

[@TTM9691]

I can't believe that of all the fantastic Michael Caine movies, they have you watching The Italian Job. You should watch "Alfie", that one you'll freaking love. "Sleuth". "The Man Who Would Be King". "Deathtrap". "Hannah And Her Sisters". "Mona Lisa". "Educating Rita". Every one of those movies you'll love, you'll have no trouble getting into from beginning to end, the first five I mentioned are particularly top tier movies. And those are the performances Michael Caine himself is most proud of and for good reason. It's beyond embarrassing that people know this guy as "Alfred". He ain't Alfred, he's Alfie! He's Peachy Carnahan!

[@o0pinkdino0o]

CAIRO: You have always a smooth explanation handy. SPADE: What do you want me to do… learn to stutter ? Best line ever.

[@hbron112]

Great reaction, Dawn Marie! 22:00 "Calm down!" lol The biggest lie was the falcon - it never was a treasure. A fake like everyone else except Sam Spade.

[@stupidsmart-phone6911]

"It's the stuff dreams are made of."

[@DV80s]

Joel Cario was Ugarte in Casablanca and the fat man was Ferrari owner of the Blue Parrot in Casablanca.

[@flarrfan]

"Best endings" are the stuff dreams are made of, especially among reactors ;)

[@kulcousy]

"What the hell is going on". Haha. Signature line from Dawn Marie's reactions. Love her.

[@rpfeifer2458]

It's great to see someone your age loving these older movies. Like Casablanca, this movie represents the later part of the Golden Era in Hollywood - 1935 to 1945. I have always been hooked on Bogart especially when teamed up with his future wife, Lauren Bacall. I highly recommend three of their best - Her debut was in To Have and Have Not (she was 19 years old). Next is The Big Sleep and finish up with Key Largo. Their chemistry was incredible. Then, when you are ready to do a little exploring, check out William Powell movies (especially with Myrna Loy in the Thin Man series). His best is My Man Godfrey. You will not be disappointed!

[@billolsen4360]

I second those suggestions, especially My Man Godfrey

[@tranya327]

Another 'YES' vote for 'My man Godfrey' and... let's say the first two in 'The Thin Man' series. 'Thin man' films declined as they progressed, but the 1st one is GREAT and 2nd one is good enough... w/a very young James Stewart as a major cast member.

[@terryjackman2242]

I thoroughly agree! Bogart and Bacall, a true love story, played out on the big screen.

[@joeellis3281]

Next great Humphrey Bogart black and white movie: Treasure of the Siera Madre. Same director -- John Huston. Some say Treasure of Siera Madre was Bogart's best acting.

[@martyemmons1859]

"The Maltese Falcon" sounds like a Star Wars space ship, Dawn Marie. You continue to entertain me. You got such a laugh from every scene that I enjoyed. As I've stated before, watching your reaction to a movie is totally more enjoyable than just watching it by myself. You've certainly earned another 'like', Dawn Marie. I'll be looking for future videos, au revoir.

[@tomw324]

Thanks for reacting to this brilliant movie! Love the photography and especially the lighting in these old black and white classics. Yes, Peter Lorre (Joel Cairo) and Sydnee Greenstreet (the fat man) were both in Casablanca. Lorre was the guy who stole the papers, "Save me Rick!" and Greenstreet was the guy Rick was selling the bar to. Just love the way everyone is lying to Spade constantly through the film but he figures them all out. Sam's secretary, Effie Perine is the one with a heart of gold and there will never be any funny business with her other than loyalty to Sam although I agree, her female intuition really failed when it came judging the character of Miss O'Shaughnessy.

[@billolsen4360]

Miss O'Shaunghnessy really belongs in politics.

[@johnruddick686]

"I thought she was doing something else" lol

You are the only tractor who appreciated all the really snide dialogue! This was the directorial debut for John Houston and he won the Oscar for it. He also directed "Treasure of the Sierra Madre", which also stars Bogart and is B/W. That one also stars Houston's father, Walter Houston, who won a best supporting Oscar for it. In the 80s he directed "Prizzi's Honor", for which his daughter, Angelica Houston won a best supporting Oscar for. That made them the first family with 3 generations of Oscar winners!

[@michaelgatheringdust]

Outstanding reaction! I'm 72 and I love seeing more youthful viewers enjoying b&w films. I grew up with these films in the 60s when UHF TV was starting to give us more than 3 channels! As I recall channel 38 (WSBK) would run a movie series with a theme - these "crime" films were one of them and introduced my 12 years old self to Bogart, E.G. Robinson, Cagney et al! In this film Captain Jacoby, the man who stumbled into Sam's office carrying the falcon, was played by Walter Huston, the father of John Huston who directed this film. In the film many folks have been recommending, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, John directed and Walter had one if the leading roles. I also recommend Treasure as a must see for Dawn!

[@CEngelbrecht]

From "Fight Club" to "Maltese Falcon" to pick something a little less confusing. I feel your pain, lass. "Can't do car movies." Give 'Rush' a chance.

A few B/W movies to consider; Laura, staring Gene Tierney, Gilda, staring Rita Hayworth, Angels with Dirty Faces, Staring James Cagney, also has Humphrey Bogart, Were No Angels, staring Humphrey Bogart, Aldo Ray & Peter Ustinov, this is in colour, The Killers, Staring Burt Lancaster.

[@eddieevans6692]

Another B&W movie you might enjoy is The Best Years Of Our Lives. It's a bit of a tear jerker about 3 servicemen returning from WW ll and adjusting to civilian life. It has great performances and is a definite classic. I just saw where someone recommended Witness for the Prosecution. That's a fantastic suggestion! Another couple of B&W movers from that same director (Billy Wilder) are The Apartment and Sunset Boulevard.

[@THOMMGB]

Dawn already saw The Apartment, which she didn't like, but she did like Sunset Boulevard. For what it's worth, I love The Apartment.

The Granddad of the Good Detective Movies. This wasn't the first good detective film (Boston Blackie, Perry Mason, Philo Vance, Lone Wolf, Arsene Lupin, Charlie Chan, Sherlock Holmes and many others) but this was the first good REMAKE of this tale (1930's MALTESE and then 1936's SATAN MET A LADY). And this was better in every way, plus it is SO rewatchable. Infinitely rewatchable.

[@emwa3600]

You'll do well to remember Peter Lorre, Mary Astor, Sydney Greenstreet, Ward Bond, Barton MacLane, Jerome Cowan... basically, this entire cast. AND John Huston (the director) and then John's father, Walter... who stumbles into the office, carrying the falcon and dies. This entire cast are the backbone for 20 years of noir and detective thrillers.

[@mikecaetano]

Mary Astor got her start in Hollywood during the silent era before appearing in several classics, including Red Dust (1932), Dodsworth (1936), The Maltese Falcon (1941), The Palm Beach Story (1942), Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), and Act of Violence (1948). Check out some of those other films too when you can. And Humphrey Bogart was cinematic royalty during the Golden Age of Hollywood, with appearances in dozens of films including such classics as The Petrified Forest (1936), Angels with Dirty Faces (1938), The Roaring Twenties (1939), They Drive by Night (1940), High Sierra (1941), Casablanca (1943), Sahara (1943), To Have and Have Not (1945), The Big Sleep (1946), The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948), Key Largo (1948), In a Lonely Place (1950), The African Queen (1952), Beat the Devil (1953), The Caine Mutiny (1954)... A good series of follow ups to Casablanca would be Sahara, To Have and Have Not, and Key Largo -- especially Key Largo. Key Largo is a masterpiece of cinema.

A classic black and white adventure movie you would like is Gunga Din. Starred Cary Grant, Douglas Fairbanks Jr and Victor Maglaglin

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

I loved your reaction, Dawn. This is a classic film for a reason. To answer your question, Dawn, yes, there are women like his partner's wife I've met a couple of them in the past.

[@grimreaper-qh2zn]

Joel was in Casablanca but so was the Fat Man he was Ferrari the owner of the Green Parrot.

Next b&w movie? Harvey! Jimmy Stewart and a 6ft rabbit 🐰

In the novel _The Maltese Falcon_ Sam Spade is described as looking like a blonde Satan. Apparently Bogart was playing off of that description. The characters are fascinating, because they are all agents of action; nobody is passive, everybody’s making decisions and doing things. I guess that’s what’s interesting about them, they are captains of their own destinies and also victims of their destinies. We can imagine we are that in charge of our own lives.; it’s the stuff dreams are made of.

[@Dej24601]

Yes, two actors were in Casablanca with Bogart. “Joel Cairo” was Ugarte (with the letters of transit and the “fat man” was the owner of The Blue Parrot cafe.

The Thomas Crown Affair.-Ernie Moore Jr.

[@BarnDoorProductions]

In the novel, there's a final scene back at Spade's office, where Effie reads the newspaper and reveals that Wilmer killed Gutman and was killed by police, who arrested Cairo. It is made clear that Effie and Spade have a physical relationship but she is repelled by Spade's hard-heartedness over Bridgid.Then Effie comes back in to announce that Iva has come to see him and Spade is left to try handle the consequences of his character flaws.

While it would be nice for Sam to get the Falcon, the line "The stuff that dreams are made of" makes it more than just loot, it's the thing everyone is always chasing and never gets - something we all know about.

"Treasure of the Sierra Madre" - awesome Humphrey Bogart film

[@AmatureAstronomer]

"Top Hat", 1935 musical comedy with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. It was in black and white.

[@heatherr296]

Your commentary always cracks me up. You’re the best!

[@jenniferjones2863]

Now that you’ve seen this and Casablanca you need to watch a spoof of then named “The Cheap Detective” with Peter Falk, Eileen Brennan, and many other stars you’ll probably recognize.

[@lmiddleman]

The subtext with Iva Archer, she was a massive floozie. She lied to everyone about where she was when her husband was killed, and evidently she was stepping out on both Miles and Sam.

[@victorcowboywest]

Dawn There was only one Falcon it was made of lead from the start,there was no bejeweled statue. You cut the classic line... Polhaus: "Heavy. What is it?" Sam: "The,uh,stuff dreams are made of" I have seen this at ten times.
