I have a replica of the Maltese Falcon. It looks just like this one, except there's no Humphrey sitting with it, sigh...

I thought the 11th Commandment was “Don’t p*ss off Chuck Norris.”

Which Maltese Falcon is being auctioned, is what I wonder. There were many of them made for the movie and sources disagree as to how many.
Bogart dropped the first one, made of lead, and damaged the tail feathers. After that, Warner Brothers made some of plastic resin and some of lead - the Maltese Falcon was supposed to be solid gold and it was easier for the actors to 'act' as if they were handling a solid gold falcon when they were passing around the ones made of lead.
My replica is made of plaster . . . which begs the question: Is the stuff dreams are made of lead, plastic resin, or plaster?
I stopped counting the times I've seen The Maltese Falcon at 40, Casablanca at 80. I've seen 68 of his movies at least once and threw an annual Bogart party for years.
If nothing else, everyone should see his Jack Warner 'punishment' film, Swing Your Partner, at least once - a Li'l Abner-style hillbilly, professional wrestling, musical. I kid you not.

$1,525 for the Ben Hur studded leather vest? An outrage! There's a vendor who sells vests just like it for only $600 at the Castro Street Festival in San Francisco each year.
And his comes with oh-so-stylish fringe. And they're made of the softest, most comfortable black leather.
Umm . . . not that I've been to the Casto Street Festival and priced that particular any vests. Or tried anything on.
I think I must have read about it or something. Yeah, I read about it.
