I first watched the movie as a teenager...my dad was a huge Humphrey Bogart fan as well as a classic detective fan, so I got to see both The Big Sleep and The Maltese Falcon at influential times in my life. The movies and books definitely influenced some of my own writing!
I'm sure I must have watched "The Maltese Falcon" at some point, though I don't remember much about it. I'll probably do a piece on that one too at some point, soon as I rewatch it.

This is one of my favorite films as well as one the my favorite books.
I never read the book, but watching the film made me want to!
