San Francisco detective Ed Sampas is sitting in his office when Thelonius Noble enters
and says he wants to hire Sampas to recover a stolen item. It’s a black statue of a bird,
about a foot high, made of lead.
“Sounds like the Maltese falcon,” Sampas jokes.
“It is,” Noble tells him, straight-faced. “I own the prop from The Maltese Falcon, and it’s worth a million dollars.”
And so, Sampas is hired to find the Maltese falcon.
Reel Life Crime mirrors the plot of Dashiell Hammett’s novel and John Huston’s film, while being an original mystery in its own right, a tongue-in-cheek hard-boiled detective story, an affectionate tribute to the noir genre, and a commentary on how much movies impact our culture and our everyday lives.
