The Manchu Eagle Murder Caper Mystery (1975)

Directed by Dean Hargrove. Found on Youtube (again.) I found this a few years ago after watching Little Murders (1971) with Vincent Gardenia, where he was hilarious. I looked up his credits on IMDb and saw this title. A Maltese Falcon parody. Chicken farmer who wants to be a private eye. That old story. Every movie nerd has experienced watching a movie and 10-15 minutes in you know exactly how it is going to turn out. Well, this is the exact opposite. 10-15 minutes into this movie and you are saying this is the strangest goddamn detective movie I've ever seen. Gabriel Dell, Huntz Hall, Will Geer, Joyce Van Patten, Dick Gautier, Barbara Harris, Sorrell Booke, Jackie Coogan, Nicholas Colasanto, Nita Talbot, Howard Storm.

Barnes & Noble 50% Off Criterion Sale

 

Used up both gift cards almost exactly. I was out of pocket $2.40. Two were upgrades from DVD. Maltese Falcon and Salem's Lot were both on sale. I wanted Nightmare Alley and/or Leave Her to Heaven but I didn't see either.

The Black Bird (1975)

 

George Segal as Sam Spade Jr. Maltese Falcon parody. Long unavailable. Found on Youtube. Lionel Stander. I always like the hard-boiled parodies and detective comedies.

The Maltese Falcon (1941)

 

Directed by John Huston. Humphrey Bogart. Dashiell Hammett book. I finally read the book first time several years ago. A sequel of sorts came on the radio, Suspense, 1948, The Khandi Tooth Caper. It is the great detective movie. I have the DVD but am taking the opportunity to watch it in HD.
