- "The Maltese Falcon, a classic noir story written by Dashiell
Hammett, was filmed three times between 1931 and 1941. The film rights of
the story were purchased by the head of the Warner Bros.-Vitaphone story
department in 1930. The first version of The Maltese Falcon, which appeared
in 1931, was a fast-paced Warner Bros. crime drama. The second version, a
near parody that borrowed from the plot of the novel but strayed afar
elsewhere, reached theaters in August 1936 as Satan Met A Lady. The final
version, The Maltese Falcon, which was directed by John Huston in 1941, is
widely considered to be a masterpiece of adaptation, direction, performance,
and photography. Each of the three versions is discussed." [Art
