I do need to say more? okay fine. made in 1941 It is the original detective movie. It stars Humphrey Bogart as privite detective Sam Spade. All and all it is quite possible the greatess film ever. the best thing about it is tha Peter Lorre whom I was so bumeb got shot in the first 10 minutes of "Casablaca" stars through this film as one of the two bad guys. See it right now.
