Warner Home Video have announced the UK Region 2 DVD release of The Maltese Falcon (Two-Disc Special Edition) for 5th February 2007. Made in 1941 this nominee for three Academy Awards – Best Picture, Supporting Actor (Sydney Greenstreet) and Screenplay (John Huston) – solidified Bogart’s stardom and launched John Huston’s illustrious directorial career.

An all-star cast (including Sydney Greenstreet, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre and Elisha Cook Jr.) joins Bogart in this classic film noir story about hard-boiled detective Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart) and the gallery of lowlifes who will lie, double cross and murder to obtain a small, jewel-encrusted statue known as The Maltese Falcon. Filled with twists and turns, the crackling mystery masterwork was based on Dashiell Hammett’s novel.
