Remake of iconic American film noir with Humprey Bogart. Private detective Sam Spade receives an order from a charming client, which puts him not only in the role of a suspect in the murder of his companion, but above all in the head of a ruthless black falcon hunt, which is the key to a huge fortune. In a tough game of money and life, he zigzags in front of a suspicious police, coldly combines with the interests of a gangster clan and cynically overcomes a relationship he could succumb to. Notes: John Houston's excellent directorial debut and a film transcript of the detective story of the American rough school classic Dashielle Hammett. With Bogart's Sam Spad, an antihero and so-called film noir come on the screen, depicting corruption, betrayal, disappointment, cynicism and disillusionment. He respects Hammett's masterpiece as much as possible and receives an Oscar nomination for Best Film in 1941.
