Ha! I expected you to get some flak for that. But in truth, I tend to agree somewhat with your opinion. “The Maltese Falcon” has always underwhelmed me, mostly for the reasons you cited. Ditto “The Big Sleep.”

But I do very much LOVE Bogart’s “High Sierra.”

Naaaaa

This was a Bogart classic. He WAS the detective just as it was written.

My favorite scene was his jerking Elisha Cook' coat down so he couldn't pull his brace of .45s...
