Chicago Reader
Huston knows just what he is doing all the time... How nice to be a little behind the director instead of, as normally, ten minutes ahead of him.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
The Maltese Falcon is among the most important and influential movies to emerge from the Hollywood system -- as significant in some ways as its contemporary, Citizen Kane.
