The “Maltese Falcon” flies again on DVD

From Yahoo News: “John Huston’s “The Maltese Falcon,” the DVDs’ main event, looks and sounds outstanding, though there are some obvious audio synch problems in the final scenes. The video will play a bit on the flat side for those who prefer jacked contrasts with their film noir, but the images unspool handsomely across an uptown gray scale. Wear doesn’t figure in. When Humphrey Bogart growls, “I won’t play the sap for you,” his voice is thick yet distinct; it’s easy to forget you’re listening to an old movie.”
