The Maltese Falcon
Humphrey Bogart stars in this classic film noir as tough San Francisco private detective Sam Spade in the classic, convoluted story of Spade's involvement with a deadly band of international thieves who will lie, double cross and murder to obtain a small, jewel-encrusted statue known as The Maltese Falcon.
Sam Spade's (Bogart) partner, Miles Archer (Jerome Cowan), accepts a job protecting a young woman (Mary Astor). Neither Spade nor Archer believe the woman or the story she tells them, but they do believe her money. Then, when Archer is murdered, Spade's search for the killer drags him in the web of lies and death spun by the desperate people seeking The Maltese Falcon.
10:30 p.m.
The Caine Mutiny
Columbia Pictures’ 1954 film, “The Caine Mutiny,” an intriguing military drama featuring an all-star cast including Humphrey Bogart, Fred MacMurray, José Ferrer, Van Johnson and well-known character actors including Lee Marvin, E.G. Marshall, Claude Akins, and Tom Tully.
The film follows a group of naval officers aboard an American destroyer in the pacific during World War II. Their new captains’ behavior under stress causes them to suspect him, initially of cowardice, and ultimately of insanity. When the captain appears to jeopardize the ship during a typhoon at sea, they relieve him of command – and consequently face court martial for mutiny.
Hollywood at Home Special Double Feature, Saturday beginning at 9 p.m. on PBS 6.
