Sam Spade's partner,
Miles Archer, is shot to death on Bush Street over the Stockton Tunnel
dig at the outset of The Maltese Falcon. The 1941 detective story,
starring Humphrey Bogart as Spade, features Tenderloin locations and outstanding
performances by Peter Lorre, Mary Astor, and Sydney Greenstreet. This cinema
classic based on the Dashiell Hammett
novel was the directorial debut of John Huston. It's a great classic and
a cinematic record of one of the City's most important literary works.
