THE MALTESE FALCON (1941) | WARNER BROS | 4K UHD REVIEW ** The Peak Of Black And White On 4K!

[@MovieAddictMatt]

I just got the Steelbook in from the UK. One of my absolute favorite Steelbooks of the year and worth the extra shipping from overseas.

[@cheebagardens1759]

Check out The Big Sleep. It’s a Phillip Marlowe movie. Sam character Liam Neeson is playing. Big Lebowski was heavily inspired by it. In a Lonely Place is another good Bogart noir.

[@paulmr.lasvegas5866]

This movie is one of his best!! His others just a few Casablanca, High Sierra, African Queen, Key West, The Treasure Of Sierra Madre… I can go on and on. You have to watch this movie a few times to fully get the plot and things you miss watching it the first time. A 2-3 or more viewing of this classic is a must!!!

[@Gevalher-Prime]

The African Queen with Bogey, puts to shame any modern rom-com movies.

[@FilmCollectorArchive]

PLEASE take more time with Bogart. If I could recommend a couple of his films, I would immediately point you to The African Queen and In a Lonely Place. They are both utterly fantastic! I am really looking forward to picking up these Warner 100 releases. I’m curious to see what they’ll announce next. I hope you’re doing well, Ken! :)

[@midlevelmedia]

I definitely will and thank you for some more recommendations from him! Hope you're doing well also!

[@timtalkstalkies]

African Queen is fantastic!

[@bened22]

African Queen on 4K was announced in germany but then the preorders disappeared. I think there is still hope!

[@mikefisher2673]

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Key Largo and The Big Sleep are three other Borgart films that are very good.

[@FilmCollectorArchive]

@@bened22 I have the Eureka Blu Ray release which is really fantastic. I would love to see what they could do with a true 4K presentation though. I love that film soooo much!

[@CinemaStudies]

I think Bogey’s best work is Treasure of the Sierra Madre. I think you’ll like it more than the noir stuff

[@PaulSmith-xc7vt]

Casablanca is one of my favorite movies

[@994pt4]

Watch "Treasure of the Sierra Madre"...absolutely brilliant film!

[@HucksPopCultureCafe]

Peter Lorre was great in The Invisible Agent (1942), one of the Invisible Man sequels. It is one of my favorite sequels of all those early Universal Classics.

[@jameslacey5474]

Ken, I knew you weren't going to to a fan of this movie. Of the three that you mentioned, Cool hand Luke' will be your favorite, you heard it it first. You should check out 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre', I think you will like that one and also 'High Sierra', The Caine Mutiny' and you might like 'The African Queen' as well. Bogart was considered the first anti-hero in films.

[@timtalkstalkies]

Watched it the other day and it’s such a fantastic release. And Steelbook collectors you really need to grab that UK Steelbook…it’s incredible.

[@midlevelmedia]

It is tempting. I don't consider myself a steel guy, but some of the one's they're releasing now are hard to resist.

[@box510motorcycles3]

Come on Ken!!! We realize you're never gonna love these movies from the 40s because there's not enough bloody, headless, zombie cheerleaders in them. LOL. The last Bogart movie I think you might like is Treasure of the Sierra Madre. It's kinda a western and has greed, mistrust, back stabbing, and murder in it.

[@F1989C]

Been A Bogart fan forever!! He never had a bad performance. That's how good/legendary he was💯💯 you really need to check out more bogart films Ken. I've seen his first film petrified forest to his Last film.. the harder they fall. I really hope the treasure of the sierra Madre gets a 4k treatment💯💯 you should check that film out along with the Caine mutiny as well as being in a lonely place 💯

[@charleyvarrick6371]

I love Casablanca but recall not getting into this one. I'm gonna give it another shot.

[@MrJohnTeacher]

This was Sidney Greenstreet's first movie. He was 62 years of age at the time.

[@waynevia6976]

Dark passage is my favorite bogart film i hope that gets a 4k release and treasure of the sierra madre is awesome too.

[@mastergillbates]

Lorre was in tons of great pictures. Check out the original 1934 “The man who knew too much”

[@Greggiexplore]

Some movies, some actors are like acquired taste. I did not like wine many decades ago, but the wine grew on me. So what you "dismiss" today, may be will be great for you in several years. Great review.

[@grahamlcarter]

How Green Was My Valley probably is better than Citizen Kane… 😅 another great Peter Lorre movie is The Mask of Dimitros.

[@jameslacey5474]

No, it is not. Citizen Kane is a great film.

[@grahamlcarter]

@@jameslacey5474 I didn’t say it wasn’t a great film!

[@jameslacey5474]

@@grahamlcarter Ok, just checking.

[@danharrold6352]

One of my all time favorite. Bogart is one of the best movie stars ever

[@Mark_Lawson]

I'm still hoping you'll do a SLC Punk review. You've had it for a long time.

[@midlevelmedia]

Haven't broke into that set yet, but when I do, that will be the first one I watch!

[@johncooley4472]

I haven't had the chance to watch it yet. I haven't seen it since I was a kid so my memory of it is pretty non-existent. I am looking forward to checking it out!!!

[@midlevelmedia]

I think you'll enjoy it John. Very good movie!

[@petecap4382]

One of my favorite Humphrey Bogart movies is the harder they fall. Boxing movie

[@m.dorado6966]

So Bogey isn't your cup of tea; however, you were objective and fair about the movie as a whole. Picture and sound quality matters for those of us who love this film. I will add this to my collection. Very good presentation.

[@batman.darthmaul]

Man, I'm so far behind. I still need to get Double Indemnity and Night of the Living Dead on 4K.

[@balkee42]

Watch Big Sleep for a great bogart noir. And if u havent seen treasure of the sierra madre. Watch it

[@dellonmovies1702]

I really like this movie, too. Honestly, I agree with your thoughts on Bogart. I've seen him in 9 or 10 movies. Most times, he's one of the weaker parts of the film. I have seen one great performance from him, though, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

[@MrDozy1016]

Sidney Greenstreey, Peter Lorre and Bogie were all also in Casablanca. Also I am so excited to pick this up because I was almost gonna grab the blu ray when this was announced.

[@johnnyquest3707]

The best part about this film to me is wondering why Sam Spade was so attracted to this conniving snake of a woman who even killed his partner. But it’s because he lived on the fringe of the law himself and liked her darkness. but in the end with his great monologue when he “sent he4 up the river” he was not talking to her. He was trying to convince himself because he knew she would double cross him later if need be for her.

[@jim1174]

I got the uk steelbook.

[@ckcreative_dp]

You should see Bogart in “In a Lonely Place” 👍🏻

[@l.a.jewell]

I’ve been on a Bogart kick lately. I suggest checking out In a Lonely Place and High Sierra.

[@MariaElena-id2vc]

I thought it was very entertaining, I love it, Humphrey Bogart is great

[@jcanada9405]

M wife and I really dig this movie, along with several Bogart films. Looking forward to upgrading this one. In regards to Lorre, you gotta see the fun, tongue in cheek film The Raven by Roger Cornan, starring Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, wnd a very young Jack Nicholson. It's a btt slow but a cool wizard vs wizard Saturday aftetnooon classic.

[@lordrayden3045]

You need to watch key largo then If they are diving in the archives, hopefully we see that 4K soon

[@TetrarchJefffreak69]

I'd like to see the Maltese faction ken it looks cool even if it's old👍👍😎😎

[@RK-jp4xe]

I understand where you are coming from with Bogart. I personally like him better as a villain or complicated character like Treasure of Sierra Madre and The Desperate Hours (very underrated film and highly recommended) and In a lonely place. Thanks for your honest review.

[@Eazy-E-40]

My favorite Bogart movie is a noir called Dark Passage, also a San Francisco movie, the first third of the movie or so actually takes place in a first person view. He plays a bad person, and I think that fits Bogart the best because of his demeanor. If you don't jump on board with him from this movie, then I don't know if you ever will.

[@ericsamuelperry]

Sir ! Now did you get the slips permission to caress it ?? I hope so lol

[@pete49327]

Humphrey Bogart is impossible to not enjoy in The African Queen. He will click in that film and you will be engaged imo. As to why B&W looks so good in 4k, several reasons. b&w film stocks of that era in general were significantly sharper/finer grained that color film, greater exposure latitude, and much better archival/storage properties resulting in less deterioration and aging over the decades. And so tailor made for looking great digitally.

[@filmaddiction26]

Great film and great review

[@Music.Movies.67]

Good Atmos and Subwoofer workout with this one then

[@antduude]

I'd also recommend seeing Bogart in "Dead End" from 1937, another film beautifully photographed in B&W. Bogart is more like a co-lead in this film, which also starred Joel McCrea, Sylvia Sydney, Claire Trevor, and the original Dead End Kids. There isn't a 4K version of this film yet, but if you're looking for another Bogart film with a great cast and story, "Dead End" is a great pick as well.

[@robertfaulkner1824]

Peter lorie is in Casablanca too bud…

[@elicortez6773]

Hey Ken, do you have the Vinegar Syndrome release of New York Ninja their first VSP big box set?

[@wileyjdraws7594]

Every bogey film I've seen (around a dozen) are good imo but he usually plays the same character in most of them.

[@lordrayden3045]

Just think….. 80+ years old

[@dfiorentine7005]

Love your channel!

[@midlevelmedia]

Really appreciate it!

[@donsimpsonshead8809]

I can get someone cringing at the hammy acting style in The Ten Commandments, but Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon?! Come on..both are OG classics. Meanwhile I roll my eyes at your nostalgia for crappy 90’s movies from your childhood. Opinions

[@Plainview-tu7xn]

I didn't think the characters were very interesting. Double Indemnity is a way better film noir. I gave it a 3/5. Just wish it had engaging characters. Bogart is OK, but not a favorite of me. I also agree that the plot revolving around the Falcon did not connect.

[@mquazimo3112]

oh wow you probably not a huge bogart fan Maltese falcon and the treasure of Sierra Madre, African queen Casablanca are all his best performances lol here's a hint stop reviewing bogart movies lol
