MALTESE FALCON (1941)

In the Maltese Falcon the audience can observe Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart) as he is trotting through the city of San Francisco trying to figure out what people are hiding. The plot thickens as the audience learns that greed is the generating factor for deception and that the Maltese Falcon is invaluable.  Deceptions then lead Sam into a spiraling plan made by someone, but who? Overall, the Maltese Falcon can be illustrated as a maze that entangles itself repeatedly, since one lie is built upon another lie.
