Description

The Maltese Falcon (Warner Brothers, 1941). Insert (14" X 36"). John Huston's adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's novel helped launch the film noir genre. Humphrey Bogart brought Sam Spade to life and the rest of the cast became icons of the cinema; Mary Astor, Peter Lorre, Barton McLane, Ward Bond, Elisha Cook Jr. and making his motion picture debut, Sydney Greenstreet as Kasper Gutman, The Fat Man. This insert is rolled and has a minor chip off of the upper left corner and a light diagonal crease in the upper right. There is light smudging around the edges and repair to some very minor tears in the edges. Overall, this poster is nothing short of spectacular and may be the best copy in existance. Rolled, Very Fine+.
