ayaktruk 's review for:

The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett
4.0

I was right...hard to read without visualizing Bogart as Spade...which may be making Hammett turn in his grave but actually added to my enjoyment.

"We are such stuff / As dreams are made on, and our little life / Is rounded with a sleep." The Bard's Tempest, Act IV

Turns out Spade's famous closing line was created on set by Bogart himself, and not included in the adapted screenplay by director John Huston.

Continuing my journey into Hammett-ville, I'm onto The Thin Man.
