A 1960s Photocopied Movie Script (measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm], 147 pages) (Learn More) The Maltese Falcon, the classic 1941 John Huston romantic detective crime film noir ("A story as explosive as his blazing automatics"; "Based on the novel by Dashiell Hammett, Author of 'The Thin Man'"; "Screen Play by John Huston"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Humphrey Bogart (as Sam Spade), Mary Astor (as Brigid O'Shaughnessy), Gladys George (as Iva Archer), Peter Lorre (as Joel Cairo), Barton MacLane (as Lt. Dundy), Lee Patrick (as Effie), Sydney Greenstreet (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Kasper Gutman), Ward Bond (as Tom Polhaus), Jerome Cowan (as Miles Archer), and Elisha Cook Jr. (as Wilmer Cook, the "gunsel"). Note that this was the SECOND re-make of this movie (it had been made in 1931 under the original title, and in 1936 as "Satan Met a Lady", starring Bette Davis in the lead role, but it was THIS version by John Huston, with his screenplay that closely followed the Dashiell Hammett novel, with superlative acting, which is an all-time classic) Note that some of the U.S. posters for this movie used images of Bogart from the 1941 film "High Sierra" (the same is true of some posters for "All Through the Night"!). Note that in all three of these movies (The Maltese Falcon, All Through the Night, and High Sierra), Humphrey Bogart only got the lead part because George Raft turned down the lead in all three!

Important Added Info: Note that this is a completely photocopied script, but it has "LIMITED USE ONLY" and "MUST BE RETURNED AT JULY 30 CLASS MEETING", so it seems like it was important to someone at that time (although we don't know when this was created, or for what purpose, but we would guess the 1960s). There is no other writing in the script and the pages were photocopied in a way that left a border around the edges of each page (see our images). Also note that this script is the final draft from May 26, 1941 and the screenplay was written by John Huston Condition: very good. The final page has faint water staining at the bottom, but otherwise, the script is in pretty good condition. Learn More about condition grades
