Program Description

Event Details

For the month of May, we will be showing movies starring Humphrey Bogart.  Bogart had a movie career that spanned 4 decades, but he didn't become a screen icon until his 40s.  By the end of the century, the American Film Institute ranked him as the greatest male star of classic American cinema.

On this night, we are watching Bogie in John Huston's 1941 film "The Maltese Falcon" also starring Mary Astor and Peter Lorre.

San Francisco private detective Sam Spade takes on a case that involves him with three eccentric criminals, a gorgeous liar and their quest for a priceless statuette, with the stakes rising after his partner is murdered.
