You saw Casablanca
Peter Lorre (Joel Cairo) was Ugarte (who killed the German couriers)
Sidney Greenstreet (Guttman) was Ferrare (who owned the Blue Parrot)
Peter Lorre's best performance was as the star of a German movie called M, by the incomparable Fritz Lang...believe it was the last they both did before fleeing the Nazis to America.
I think the script writers didn’t know many foreign names so that went for cars- Ferrari and Renault. They were thinking of calling the German Major Porsche but someone changed it the last minute.
I love this film. I've watched it perhaps 15 times in my live and I've just watched it again a few months ago. Bogart was so good here. I'm also a fan of him in the movie "The Big Sleep" which is also a great detective film (Phillip Marlowe). Sidney Greenstreet in this movie just kills the part. Also the great and creepy Peter Lorre. I'll never forget the line "You're takin' the fall".
The character of Joel Cairo was played by Peter Lorre. He was Ugarte in Casablanca.
The acting with Peter Lori and Sydney Greenstreet are amazing actors. Bogart and this crowd were the best of the best.
Lorre
One of the Classics' of all time, Humphrey Bogart is a Nstional Treasure!
When this film was made in 1941, that was only about 12 years from when Silent Movies ended, (1928 or 1929).
Back in those days, they didn't know how to blow stuff up so movies needed a good story. That's one of the great things about black and white Classis Movies!
I LOVE older movies!! This is a Great one! Kinda hard to go wrong with Bogart or Mary Astor.
This is acting. It's a drama and play. The dialogue is brilliant.
You are completely correct about the films back then. Humphry Bogart never ever made a bad film.
Across the Pacific (1942) ****
Sahara ****
High Sierra ****
To Have and Have Not
I'd give the African Queen a couple more stars if only for Kate Hepburn as Bogey's co-star...I don't even like the movie that much, except for the magic the two together create.
@@flarrfan I would agree on that. It is a great film but even great ones can have their flaws.
It's true. Bogart never made a bad film. The reason Bogard never made a bad film is because he simply refused any script that was below his standard, which means he went on suspension several times. In those days, actors were under contract to a studio. In this case, Bogart was under contract to Warner Brothers. So if Bogard refused to do a movie he was put on suspension, usually for about 12 weeks. I read somewhere that Bogar went on suspension 13 times during his time with Warner Brothers.
True that! 'The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre' is my all time favourite.. seems to grow on me too.
Never saw The Return of Doctor X 😊.
I grew up watching 1930s, 40s & 50s movies on TV. My aesthetic adjustment while seeing movies goes in the opposite direction from yours. Too often I find contemporary movies employ too many cuts, too much CGI and are always too loud. Despite that, there are many, many contemporary movies that I've loved. I *love* your reactions because you're honest and are very open to classical Hollywood filmmaking. I'm really glad you're doing more old movies!! Thanks!
The Director was John Huston, his first ever movie. He is the old man in Chinatown, staring Jack Nicholson. Its dialogue heavy, but a lot of the scenes in the book are word for word. I think I prefer The Big Sleep by a smidge, but Bogart was not a star when this came out and this was Huston's first film, this made him a star.
John Huston‘a father, Walter Huston, played Captain Jacobi who delivered the falcon to Spade. Walter was a well-known actor at the time and did the part obviously to help out his son since it was such a small part.
@@kennethcrist443 And he played with Bogey in the The Treasure of the Sierra Madre if I am not mistaken.
And I believe John Huston is the only director who directed both a parent and an offspring to Oscar wins (his dad Walter in TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE, and his daughter, Angelica in PRIZZI'S HONOR).
Huston's first movie as a director, but he has over a dozen credits as a screenwriter, previously, for movies like "Sergeant York" and "High Sierra".
There is a bronze plague in San Francisco at the site on Bush St. where the fictional character Miles Archer was slain.
What a surprise! Hey, good for you for checking this off the list. It's such a fundamental movie, it's more than just a classic, it's the original private eye of all time! Sam Spade! It's the beginning of Bogie, the movie that made him a star! And it's the beginning of "film noir". And it's the debut movie from director John Huston, who had a LONG career, with tons of great movies under his belt, right into the 1980s. So you're checking a lot of boxes with this one, no matter how you felt about it! John Huston played the evil father in "Chinatown" which, in itself, was an homage to "The Maltese Falcon" in many ways! So very cool that you hit this one as it connects to both "Casablanca" and "Chinatown"! Other Huston classics (off the top of my head): "The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre" (1948 - also with Bogart, classic.), "The Asphalt Jungle" (1950 - great film noir), "Moby Dick" (1956- outstanding), "The Misfits" (1962 - Marilyn Monroe's last movie, also Clark Gable's. Great drama), "The Man Who Would Be King" (1975 - Sean Connery and Michael Caine adventure movie, fantastic, must-see), "Prizzi's Honor" (1985 - hilarious Jack Nicholson mob comedy!) A great Bogart movie that's not Huston: "The Caine Mutiny" (1952) Amazing performance. Anyways, great surprise that you hit this one!
I would include Chinatown as a Huston "classic" for his acting! And extra credit for trying, and mostly failing due to budget reasons, to bring Flannery O'Connor's marvelous Wise Blood novel to the screen.
The Phillip Marlowe character was played by at least 3 actors over several movies and TV shows. Bogey was the 1st!
Great reaction to one of the finest films ever made. I would strongly recommend KEY LARGO, also with Bogart and with Huston directing. It also stars Bogart's wife Lauren Bacall as well as Edward G. Robinson, Lionel Barrymore, and Claire Trevor.
That guys name is Peter Lorre. Peace out.
I had commented on your preview post but I think I waited too long so I am going to repost it here:
THIS is one of my all time favorite movies!!!
I LOVE that you are doing older films. I hope you enjoyed this one. Everyone is just incredible in this.
Small detail that might not be immediately obvious to you (because we live in a more enlightened and evolved time)....the comments about Joel Cairo's handkerchief "smelling of gardenia" is a reference to him being gay....it is partially why Sam reacts to Joel the way he does. (OBVIOUSLY I am NOT condoning this...just explaining bc it was part of the time period). Roger Ebert talked about this in his review which is featured in his book of Greatest Films of All Time.
This movie is one of THE perfect film noir examples....LAURA and DOUBLE INDEMNITY being other 5 star examples.
LAURA is actually my husband's favorite movie of all time (mine is ALL ABOUT EVE).
(I would also say THE BIG SLEEP is considered a good example but they left so much out that the movie can be a little confusing, but still good).
Regardless, GREAT choice. Bogey, Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet (the fat man) also work together again in CASABLANCA.
The Ebert review that I mentioned:
www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-the-maltese-falcon-1941
Great reaction!! Thank you for choosing this film. In the scene where Sam Spade is standing at the top of the embankment and looking down at the dead body of Miles Archer, on the side of the building behind him is an old, dirty and torn poster for the movie, Swing Your Lady, which was a Bogart film from 1938. He supposedly hated that film, but I didn’t think it was bad at all. Also, Elisha Cook Jr, (Wilmer) was actually not so young, he just looked young. He was 4 years younger than Bogart, 1 year older than Peter Lorre and 3 years older than Mary Astor. I love this nearly flawless film. When I was growing up, films like this were a part of everyday life on television, in the late afternoons, the evenings, and after the 10:00 news. Cinema today wouldn't exist as it does, if they hadn't paved the way.
I think it's great that you're watching these wonderful classics - I've always loved them.
Peter Lorre, who plays Joel Cairo in this movie is the same actor who played Ugarte in "Casablanca," the character who gave Rick the Letters of Transit early in the film and was arrested in Rick's cafe the same night.
I re-watched your Casablanca reaction...I've watched a few others since, but I wanted to let you know that your edit, compared to every other one I've watched, was by far the best for keeping just about all the iconic lines while including enough key scenes to advance the plot for any who haven't seen the film before. Masterful, kudos...you've earned a new sub. Here's hoping you have plans for more classics on a regular basis!
I appreciate you telling me that! Thank you and welcome!
What a movie!! Reminds me of being little and hanging out with my grandma, she was a huge Bogart fan. Love the way they used to smack each other around in these movies. Another favourite was Heaven Can Wait(1943) Don Ameche and Gene Tierney. I have rewatched it many times over the last 40 years. Great reaction ❤
Both Joel Cairo (Peter Lorre) and the Fatman (Sydney Greenstreet) were in Casablanca. Bogart won the Oscar for The African Queen. You should check it out. It's marvelous. (If you're interested in a modern noir film, check out Chinatown or L.A. Confidential. Both are tremendous.)
A couple of other Bogart films around the same time. "To Have And Have Not" "Dark Passage"
In 1975 there was a comedy sequel named 'The Black Bird' involving Sam Spade Jr. at his dad's detective agency and the black bird statuette.
It also has Elisha Cook, Jr. playing Wilmer once more and the same actress playing Effie Perrine, Sam’s secretary. Segal is great as usual, but the movie is too much a comedy and not enough a mystery. Worth watching for fans of TMF. A better watch would by the late 70s film, The Man With Bogart’s Face. It is a direct ripo… homage to the Maltese Falcon. A beautiful dame, a lost treasure, gunmen, cops, a fat man, and a private eye who gets facial reconstruction surgery to look like someone we know.
There's nothing "chatterbox" about this film. It's a perfectly executed script reflecting the brilliant tension, character development and intrigue of the novel. That novel was written by the top of the crime fiction genre, Dashiell Hammett. The script was perfectly written by the director, John Huston. Adding dumbed down visual scenes, to hook an attention deficit audience, would have turned this brilliant film into a complete mediocrity.
Ward Bond was the cop he’s in more Oscar winning movies than any actor
My favorite line of his is "I was born ready!" . This was in Hondo, starring John Wayne, and, I think also in The Searchers starring John Wayne.
Also, it was said by Sally Fields in Smokey and the Bandit starring Burt Reynolds and Jackie Gleason (music by Jerry Reed).
You might like "The Treasure of Seirra Madre" - with Humphrey Bogart (and also Barton MacClane, the cop in Maltese Falcon). Four Oscars in 1949, including best director for John Huston and best supporting actor for Walter Houston (and that performance is really worth watching).
And Walter Huston has a cameo in "The Maltese Falcon". He was Capt. Jacoby, who brings the falcon the Bogart.
I believe you said you have seen Casablanca. If so....the reason you recognized the little guy......that was Peter Lorre who was in Casablanca. He was the guy who gave Rick (Bogart) the letters of transit to hide.
This OLD Old School!!!😅 Still the best writing to ever come out of Hollywood! Before kids were raised on tv & actually grew up on Literature-good on paper, radio, tv & film! Good for you, bro!
See ya!
✌😎❤
Omg my grandma and I love oldies
Great movie. If you're on a classics kick, try what I view as the partner to this: The Big Sleep. Another good one is Angels With Dirty Faces, James Cagney is like a force of nature, you can't keep your eyes off him, so much screen charisma (and Bogey has a small part too).
Another classic to check out: "The Adventures of Robin Hood" with Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland.
My surname is Miles and I live in a town founded by the Knights' Templars. Apart from that I love the film
7:50 She tells him that Thursby was disloyal, and Spade asks her if she killed Miles. Since she has been lying to him so far, he takes almost all of her money so she can't run away. In the last scene, Gutman tells Spade that Thursby actually was completely loyal to her, which confirmed that she killed Archer.
Take her money to keep her around. That makes a lot of sence, and I never thought of it! Hats off to you!
Perfect movie and in my top 10 films of all time. This film was incredibly influential, basically jumpstarting the film noir boom of the 1940s and early 1950s. Sam Spade feels like the prototype for the modern detective, the way he reads people, interrogates them, and puts all the piece of the crime together. I can even see qualities of Sam Spade in a later popular detective like Columbo, for example. The way that Spade sized people up and seemed to already be onto them upon first meeting them, then ingratiates himself with them and gets them to slip up reminds me a lot of Columbo. Very influential character and performance by Humphrey Bogart.
Much credit to you for trying an old movie classic.
Check out "The Big Sleep"(1946) with Bogart & Bacall.
Possibly my all-time favourite since childhood. The first two iterations of Hammett's book were awful, but John Huston got everything right.
The Falcon is the McGuffin.
White Heat 1949
You can't beat a great Film Noir! Check out any of the films by french director Jean-Pierre Melville, he was a huge influence on Scorsese, Tarantino etc. Melville specialised in Neo-Noirs. Also, Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye is a 1970's classic of the genre, a great masterpiece.
Good reaction. This is my favorite detective movie of all time. Other great movies are Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Hombre, Memento, The Godfather, Night of the Iguana, The Apartment, Radio Days. Talk about eclectic!
Now do 'To Have or Have Not'. Another film noire classic.
Not sure if Bogey would be a star today. Cary Grant would but Bogey was meant for this half of the Century
i Highly Suggest you check out 1936 Petrified Forest starring Bette David & Humphry Bogart. those 2 personalities are beyond electric together. Another one is 1937s Marked Woman, again starring Davis & Bogart. i am obsessed with old movies i own every single charlie Chaplin movie going back to 1914 when he got his start at Keystone Studios the Warner Brothers of the day.
“the stuff that dreams are made of” Lead.
The book of this is outstanding by the way. Better than the film imo
Peter Falk did a fantastic spoof of these types of movies. The Cheap Detective. A must watch spoof!
Falk was also featured as a Bogart/Spade type detective in the comedy "Murder by Death".
@creech54 true and both MBD and TCD were Niel Simon movies. Good stuff!
Magnificent film. Bogart was the greatest movie star ever.
If you like this movie I would suggest you try another John Huston film starring Bogart called Key Largo.
4.5... About my only 5s are Casablanca, the 2 Godfathers, Some Like It Hot (best comedy ever) and Robert Altman's masterpiece Nashville.
“Got him right through the Pump”
At 4:20, we see one of Dashiell Hammett's rare mistakes, doubled down by the movie. He says it's a "Webley-Fosbery, .45 automatic, 8 shots". The .45 caliber version was 6 shots; the .38 caliber version was 8 shots. Only about 300 .38 caliber types were ever made. A mistake like that just destroys the whole movie for me. 😆
5-star reaction, buddy! Love Mary Astor, she looks so much like my mom. I had a Webley pistol once. Suggested 1940's crime movies: 1. "Laura" Tough guy NYPD detective falls in love with a dead woman while investigating her murder and interviewing her friends. Be prepared for a big plot twist! Gene Tierney, very beautiful, plays Laura. Dana Andrews, Vincent Price, Judith Anderson & Clifton Webb slso lead actors. 2. "Tension" A druggist loses his hot wife to a wealthy playboy. Druggist takes on a false identity in order to kill the other man but falls in love with a neighbor woman while executing his plot. Richard Basehart & Audrey Totter are the married couple, Cyd Charise the neighbor. 3. "The Big Sleep" Private detective is hired by millionaire Sternwood to scare off a blackmailer who is murdered by persons unknown while the P.I. is following him. Sternwood's hot daughters are involved in the crime and may be guilty. Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Bacall are the lead players. 4. "Double Indemnity" Insurance agent Walter meets hot blonde Phyllis on a sales call & falls for her. Phyllis convinces him to murder her hubby & phony it up to look like an accident to collect a fat insurance check. The couple are immediately above suspicion at Walter's firm, but he gets more edgy daily that both of them will get busted and with good reason. Barbara Stanwyck & Fred MacMurray are leads. 5. "The Postman Always Rings Twice" Young drifter is working for elderly gas station owner who has a hot young wife. Drifter and the wife fall in love & plot old man's murder and have success on their 2nd attempt. The District Attorney is their neighbor and he smells a rat. Will the 2 main characters be tried & executed? Lana Turner & John Garfield play the leads. Lots of hot women in these films, in case I didn't mention it.
One of your comments on the fast paced dialog is valid, but you have to realize movies at that time were wrapped around the dialog, just like it was in "Casablanca." Audiences back then LISTENED, closely. Think on the movies you've seen in the last 2 or 3 decades. The stories today are driven by action, not dialog. There's jump scares, bloodshed, exploding robots or mechanical tricks and visuals. People today watch ... the dialog is stripped and too often only acts as fillers until the next green screen, CGI bang bang moment. In the 30's and 40's movies might have one big visual scene, maybe two...in this movie every moment except the first scene of Miles getting shot is driven by the speech. They called it acting and didn't have to bring in computers and stunt doubles every five minutes. You want to watch movies from that era, you have to drink some coffee and pay attention, or you miss the whole story.
Casablanca, you probably seen him in Casablanca. Peter Lorre
Do you recognize the young gunman? He was Icepick from Magnum p.i. (the original, of course)
Elisha Cook. From Wikipedia:
Cook never became part of the Hollywood social scene, which he held in low regard. His slight build and calm demeanor belied his offscreen status as a rugged outdoorsman. He resided for many years in Bishop, California, but he typically spent his summers at Lake Sabrina in the Sierra Nevada. According to John Huston:
[Cook] lived alone up in the High Sierra, tied flies and caught golden trout between films. When he was wanted in Hollywood, they sent word up to his mountain cabin by courier. He would come down, do a picture, and then withdraw again to his retreat.
No sequels but it did get referenced. parodied and it had some prop reuse in other films. One Could Head canon it ending up in the Office of Eddie Valiant as it appears on set of Who Framed Rodger Rabbit.
Peter Lorre was in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in Eighty Days, The Story of Mankind, The Raven, Arsenic and Old Lace, Casablanca
other then this and Casablanca Humphrey Bogart was also in a lot of stuff but nothing else Ive seen
If you watch a lot of Abbot and Costello films you'll see much of the same fast cuts, short scenes, abrupt cuts etc
same people in Casablanca
Good reaction and edit. If you want to keep on with Bogart check out The African Queen. Bogart and Katherine Hepburn make a perfect storm of a couple.
You should really give it a few more looks over the coming years. Have seen it multiple times and, like Casablanca or 12 Angry Men, I’m always interested in watching it one more time. The ideal would be to see it on the Silver Screen, where B&W really shines. At some point, you should check out the Firesign Theater’s The Further Adventures of Nick Danger (the B side of their album How Can You Be in Two Places at Once, When You’re Not Anywhere at All). It’s a radio show style parody of Falcon and films like it. Hilarious!
Bogey. The one and only!
Agreed!
You know, I'm not too sure that Sam and the detective that punched him weren't putting on their own show to show Sam wasn't in with the cops too close.
Ya gotta do The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. It's a dude rite of passage, man.
"Cairo" = Peter Lorre.
Please react to Double Indemnity (1944), the best noir film of all, in my opinion. If, from your perspective as a younger viewer, you think Maltese Falcon has some slow stretches, you might find that Double Indemnity, with similarly iconic characters and an added dimension of suspense, is more consistently engaging. (My appreciation for both films has grown with repeat viewings over the years, as another commenter has suggested!)
I grew up on lots of 80s and 90s movies, but I've grown to much prefer older cinema...meaning everything pre-80s. Old movies (the good ones at least) are more intelligent and artistic, have an actual first, second and third act, and I enjoy the tone of them. In contrast so many modern movies are loud and obnoxious and less concerned with plot and more concerned with *situations* with cheap pay-offs.
SAHARA 1943,is one of his best.not a single woman in that film
They couldn't come right out and say it but Cairo was gay.
Devil in a Blue dress
Watch Double Indemnity you will love it
rent was 40 a month for a three bed room
I believe it
One of the weirdest moments in American cinema is when the Fat Man is examining the falcon and starts slashing at it with a knife and you hear "It's a phoney. It's fake. It's lead." But the voice speaking doesn't belong
to any of the characters. It was obviously added at some point during editing or later. It's hard to
understand why they just didn't get Greenstreet to read the lines.
Yo dude
Please do other old movies.
Will do. I've done others as well. Have you seen them?
@@FlixTalk Absolutely. Love Casablanca. How about Gone with the wind or Guess whos coming to dinner?
