starstarstarstar
Not the more famous 1941 version, but a slick, chic and surprisingly good-looking early adaption of Dashiell Hammett's classic crime tale that first introduced indefatigable private eye Sam Spade (played with suave elan by Ricardo Cortez to moviegoers.

Is there any other movie that has used this same format? Or, more importantly, is there any other movie that has used this format successfully? — Oskar Sigvardsson (all the way from Stockholm, Sweden)FlickChick: This is an excellent question, and one I find especially interesting in that I only... read more
