It's the one-year anniversary of Mystery to Me! To honor our silly podcast's birthday — and its inaugural review of Satan Met a Lady (1936) — we're talking about the good version of this Dashiell Hammett story.

The Maltese Falcon is the 1941 film noir marking John Huston's directorial debut. The movie features Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre, Gladys George, Torchy Blane's Barton MacLane, Lee Patrick, and introduces Sydney Greenstreet. Bogart plays private eye Sam Spade, who is thrust into a murderous quest for a glitzy antique after his partner gets snuffed out.

Listen to Áine and Kevin pay tribute to this film with gems like discussion of Fleetwood Mac, Frank Sinatra's passing, and the Fonzi factor of Pinkerton detectives.
