This review is not about the movie, which has been around a while, but about the case and the transfer that this The Maltese Falcon - Steelbook Edition came in. It is simply gorgeous, especially the back, and the image of the movie is clear, sharp and without the smallest trace of scratches, flicker, or any other distraction. The audio is excellent too, considering what was available in 1941. All in all, a fabulous package.

I love watching a classic on Blu-ray. If you've grown up on Transformers, Avengers, Batman, Iron Man etc then The Maltese Falcon - Steelbook Edition is a film and an era all but forgotten, but there is a reason why The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, Treasure of the Sierra Madre et al are now in a modern steelbook package - they're great films, but don't expect special effects. The Maltese Falcon from 1941 (it was made twice before this adaption) is a crime thriller, which relies on its strength of characters more than its plot. It's a twisted tale of intrigue and deception, and I think it works because Bogart finally gets a big part where he is not just a thug and John Huston gets his first crack at a film director.

The Maltese Falcon - Steelbook Edition is one of the best movies of all times in a great package.

The Maltese Falcon is a great movie, with great actors. I have nothing more to say.
