Maltese Falcon - Hotel Belvedere Lobby Scene (c1947)

*No Spoilers*

Humphry Bogart as Sam Spade meets, and dispatches, a cheap hood in one of the coolest passive-aggressive scenes ever in "The Maltese Falcon" c1947.

Fair use is claimed for this very small clip to illustrate the exceptional work with special focus on how the unique characters are developed and portrayed and I cannot see how this could cause any harm to the copyright holder.

When Luke places his hand in his trouser pocket he is reaching for his Colt Detective or Model 1903 Pocket Automatic. Standard for detectives of that era.

Brilliant cast, phenomenal film. Except it was released in 1941.
