FILM REVIEW: “THE MALTESE FALCON”: THEMATIC & STYLISTIC ELEMENTS.


15112. FILM REVIEW: “THE MALTESE FALCON”: THEMATIC & STYLISTIC ELEMENTS. This paper provides an analysis of thematic and stylistic elements in John Huston’s film, “The Maltese Falcon.” The essay examines and evaluates Huston's film in terms of its thematic elements: formulas, visual design, suspense, mystery, betrayal and codes of honor: the ethics adhered to by the principal characters in the story. It is argued that Huston's Maltese Falcon closely tracks the main narrative themes and lurid characters of Hammett's novel, while giving subtle emphasis to the moral themes in the film treatment, and imposing a variant ending that leaves the criminal mastermind Gutman alive, and master sleuth Sam Spade suspended in the same amoral vacuum of sex and greed as when the story began. KEYWORDS: film review john huston maltese falcon. Chicago Parenthetical Style. 9 pages, 13 footnotes, 8 bibliographic sources.   $63
