Despite his best efforts, private detective Sam Spade gets drawn into a desperate search for “the black bird” - a prize of untold riches coveted by a motley gang of underworld denizens.

John Huston’s first directorial effort is a flawless piece of Hollywood noir. The superlative cast is led by Bogie as his absolute best as the world-weary Spade. Every scene, every nuance, every bit of dialogue is perfect.
