The Maltese Falcon (1941)

This is another film that I saw during my Film Noir craze. As much as it is critically acclaimed as being one of the best - not only Film Noirs, but - films of all time, I found it hard to follow. Perhaps coupled with youthful impatience and a backlog of other Film Noirs due back at the video store, I could have paid more attention, but sadly this one slipped by the way side. 

I did enjoy noting all the occurrences of stripes, both horizontal and vertical, particularly when positioned around the obviously doomed femme fatale. I still remember it being good.
