Title: One of a half dozen movies that deserve six stars ******
Review: If you're thinking about getting into great old movies, THIS is the one to start with. Bogart is absolutely classic in this, his second shot at playing the lead (his first was in 1938's "Black Legion"). Dialogue second to none even by today's standards, no, especially by today's standards! Mystery the way it's supposed to be, really the prototype. Of the many great moments, my favorite is towards the end in Spade's apartment, after Cairo and the Fat Man leave, and only Bogie, and the pathological liar are left in the room, "both of us under the gun" Great, crisp, clear DVD! Get it.
