Why pick that B&W film, of all there are to choose from ?The Maltese Falcon is glorious on the big screen, Huston held nothing back in this wonderful noir masterpiece. It glows on the silvered screen with all the magic it did the first time I saw it. If there is one thing HT cannot do, it is to capture the depth on screen that a well shot B&W film has.
People treat the cinema like their own lounge rooms these days. They talk, munch, giggle, belch, make sucking noises from 4 gallon Coke buckets- one day there will be a tragic case of "Cinema Rage" during a screening of The Maltese Falcon.
