Summary: Adhering closely to Dashiel Hammett's story, sleazy detective Sam Spade seeks the whereabouts of a jewel encrusted statuette and his partner's cold-blooded killer, unaware the two quests may be related. Well received in its time, today it looks like a dress-rehearsal for John Huston's definitive version made ten years later. (imdb)

It's not a bad movie, but the poor thing feels like a high school play now. Cortez, Digges, and Matieson all lack the charisma to make it a classic.

Largely faithful to the book, largely interesting, and in no way holds a candle to the Houston version.

Pretty damn good. It's not on the level of Huston's version, but it's still quite enjoyable. Cortez isn't quite Bogart, but he's surprisingly close. However, Matieson is no Lorre, and Digges is miles from Greenstreet as Casper Gutman. The one thing I favor about this version is the sexuality; the lack of a Hayes Code leads to some great innuendo and implications, and Spade is much more of a womanizer in this. However, despite the great photography, it lacks the same stylistic flair. Still, good.
