Maybe it was because the book is old and hard to relate to the present, but I didn’t find this classic novel to be that great. I don’t really like a main character that sleeps with his partner’s wife. He says that he feels obligated to find his partner’s killer but seems like he wants the money to find the falcon more. The book’s portrayal of woman in the book was consistent with the times but still undesirable. The author had many quotes that were funny because the main character was such a jerk if he were real. I did not see this movie but maybe I should have instead of reading the book.
Sam Spade is hired by the fragrant Miss Wonderley to track down her sister, who has eloped with a louse called Floyd Thursby. But Miss Wonderley is in fact the beautiful and treacherous Brigid O'Shaughnessy, and when Spade's partner Miles Archer is shot while on Thursby's trail, Spade finds himself both hunter and hunted: can he track down the jewel-encrusted bird, a treasure worth killing for, before the Fat Man finds him?
