Samuel Spade and Miles Archer run a private detective agency in San Francisco. One day, a beautiful customer, Wonderly, came and asked them to follow a man named Thursby because he abducted her sister and paid $200 in advance. Spade thought the story was weird and the commission was strangely high, but Miles responded: She is sweet. And excitedly took the initiative to take over the case. (66 Comments: The heroine Mary Astor is indeed very sweet. In this scene, she plays an innocent girl looking for her sister. Her big helpless eyes are constantly discharging Spade. It is indeed my pity.) The development of things is unexpected, Miles He was killed outside the hotel, and a few hours later, Thursby was also shot dead in the hotel. Two police officers went to Spade's home to question his whereabouts. They suspected that Spade killed Thursby in order to avenge his colleagues. The next day, Miles’ widow, Iva, came to the detective agency. It turned out that she and Spade had secretly communicated the song. She asked Spade: Did you kill him? Spade asked: Who put that bright idea in your head? After Iva, the secretary came in and told Spade that when she went to notify her of her death last night, she found that Iva had just returned home and deliberately messed up the sheets to confuse her, maybe she had killed her husband. The beautiful customer met Spade for the second time. It was in the hotel room she just moved to. She was haggard in her pajamas and admitted that she was lying in front of her. Her real name was O'Shaughnessy. She and Thursby met in Hong Kong. Hong Kong just came to San Francisco. It was Thursby who killed Miles and was killed by his enemies. She begged Spade to help her, don't give her to the police, and gave Spade all her remaining $500. (66 Comment: This Spade has a line, We didn't exactly believe your story, we believed your 200 dollars. You paid us more than if you'd told the truth and enough more to make it right. Truth is worth more, lies are worth more, wow kaka) Spade just returned to the detective agency, a little man with gardenia perfume on his business card, Joel Cairo, came to visit him and offered $5,000 for Spade to help find a black bird statue. While Spade was not paying attention, Joel took out his pistol and pointed it at Spade, planning to search the room. Spade knocked down the little man with a relaxed punch and searched his body. The little man has several passports, but the name is true. There is a funny section here. After the little guy woke up, he said that the $5,000 deal was still valid, and then he asked for his pistol back. What made Spade's bitter smile was that the little man got the pistol and immediately pointed it at Spade, still insisting on searching the room. Spade went to the hotel to meet the beautiful customer, and when he went out to find someone was stalking, he shook off his tail wittily. He asked O'Shaughnessy if he knew Joel and told her that Joel was willing to pay $5,000. O: It's more than I can ever offer you if I have to bid for your loyalty. S: What have you ever given me besides money? Have you ever given me any of your confidence, any of the truth? Haven't you tried to buy my loyalty with money but nothing else? O: What else is there I can buy you with? Spade did not say a word, kissed her hard, and then said I don't care what your secrets are. But I can't go ahead without more confidence in you than I've got now. Finally, Spade offered to let O'Shaughnessy and Joel talk face-to-face, and the location would be Spade's house. (66 comments: The hero and heroine didn’t kiss until the 30th minute. It is indeed a 1940s movie. But the kiss is worth 4,500 dollars. It’s a beautiful woman after all.)
Sell it to Joel, because after Thursby's death, she thought that the fat man must have also come to San Francisco, and she was very scared. But Falcon is not in her hands now, and she has to wait a week. Joel was shocked when he heard that the fat man was coming too, thinking of seeing someone outside the door watching just now. Suddenly, two police officers came to the door. It turned out that Iva, who had knocked over the vinegar jar, saw Spade taking the girl home, so she notified the police. Spade made up one story after another in front of everyone, covering O'Shaughnessy and tricking the police into taking Joel away. O'Shaughnessy told Spade that Joel hired Thursby and her to steal the falcon for $500. After the falcon was stolen, Joel had to dump them, so they dumped Joel and ran out. Of course, Spade didn’t believe her. set. (66 Comment: This is the first climax of the film. Spade's skill in manipulating scenes is first-rate, which initially shows his precise grasp of human nature and clever control of information. It is a pity that the male and female protagonists are just about to be affectionate because of watching Going downstairs staring at their stalkers like a dead dog and loses interest.) O'Shaughnessy's hotel was searched, and Spade sent a message to the fat man through the stalkers, and the badass boss finally appeared. Spade battled wits and courage, and finally figured out that falcon was invaluable. But the fat man also succeeded in making Spade drink the potion and fainted and found O'Shaughnessy and Joel. He also knew that the falcon arrived in San Francisco with the pigeon and was in the hands of Captain Jacoby. They wounded the captain, but the captain struggled to bring falcon to the detective agency and handed it to Spade. Spade has falcon in his hands, and the fat man has O'Shaughnessy in his hands, and the fat man threatens her to trick Spade home and lie in ambush at Spade's house. Everyone is there, and the climax is always at the end. The situation is very unfavorable for Spade. The opponent has three people, two of whom are holding guns. He has to protect a beauty. Spade used a divorce scheme and successfully persuaded the fat man to hand over the killer and bodyguard to the police. Spade and Joel subdued the killer and got the gun together-at this time he became the active party instead. After receiving $10,000 in cash, Spade gave the falcon to the fat man, and the fat man realized that what they had tried so hard to get was a fake. The transaction was completely invalidated, and the fat guy took back $10,000 and left-- ―Spade immediately reported to the police to catch them. Seeing this, everyone thought that the prince and the prince were happy. . . . . (500 words deleted here) Unexpectedly, the most exciting part is coming. Because the fat man admitted that the killer killed Thursby and the captain, then who killed Detective Miles? It turned out to be O'Shaughnessy. Spade used rigorous logical reasoning to force O to confess the crime, but O tearfully pleaded with Spade to cover her, because she loves him, and he loves her O: You've been playing with me...just pretending you cared me to trap me like this. You didn't care at all. You don't love me! S: I won't play the sap for you! O: Oh, you know it's not like that, you can't say that. S: You never player square with me for half an hour distractions I've known you! O: You know down deep in your heart in spite of anything I've done, I love you. S: I don't care who loves who, I won't play the sap for you. I won't walk in Thursby's, and I don't know how many others' footsteps! You killed Miles and you're going over for it. O: How can you do this to me, Sam? ……. After the hero and heroine kissed for the second time, Spade resolutely handed O to the police, and a charismatic and charming boy suddenly became a cold detective who calculated better than love. (66 Comment: It is really a classic noir film. It shows all the ugliness of human nature. There is no bright spot, let alone a little room for tenderness-it makes you cool from head to toe.)
