A Limited Edition Art Print (signed by artist The Silent Giants; 8/100; measures 18" x 24" [46 x 61 cm]) (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!

Artist: The Silent Giants Important Added Info: Note that this art print has been personally autographed (signed) by The Silent Giants and hand-numbered 8/100!  This art print is one of the 270 Mondo/Alamo Drafthouse art prints in eMoviePoster.com's "Second Ever Major Mondo Print Auction". What is the special auction? First, some background: In December 2020 eMoviePoster.com auctioned 2,346 Mondo art prints (from the collection of Mondo founder, Tim League), and they sold for $732,660.00! But Mr. League mostly only gave us prints from 2013 to 2020, because the ones from before that time (back to 2004!) were ones he either only had one of, or very few. NOW WE HAVE BEEN CONSIGNED A COLLECTION OF 257 PRINTS, MOSTLY ALL BOUGHT DIRECTLY FROM MONDO, AND ALL BUT 12 ARE FROM BETWEEN 2004 AND 2012! These are the "rarest of the rare", and hardly ever change hands, and when they do it is usually for lots of money! But, as with all eMoviePoster.com auctions, ALL of these started at $1, with NO reserves and NO buyers premiums! The 257 auctions in this "Second Ever Major Mondo Print Auction" are the first 257 lots at the start of eMoviePoster.com's April Major Auction, and all the auctions end April 17, beginning at 7 PM Central Time. Condition: fine. The art print is in very nice condition and it displays quite well (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
