Many film historians consider this 1941 black-and-white film to be the first in the film noir genre. It represents the debut of writer/director John Huston, who was especially faithful in adapting the novel's dialogue to the screen. Like Hammett's novel, this film is an exciting mix of mystery, romance, and adventure. See if you can discover the two major differences between the book and the film.
Other films in the series include: The Caine Mutiny (1:30 p.m., Monday, March 28);
The African Queen (1:30 p.m., Monday, April 4); and Casablanca (6:30 p.m., Monday, April 18).
