“Calling The Maltese Falcon a perfect movie is something of a double-edged sword, if one means to split hairs. Its leanness, precision, ceaseless forward motion, and quotability leave little room for the kind of artistic and dramatic risks that characterize swing-for-the-fences auteurist masterpieces, to say nothing of dramatic depth. On the other hand, perfect." ~ Danny Bowes
